PERFORMANCE

Arc Performance

• Smooth DC welding output for a broad range of stick electrodes, such as Lincoln Excalibur®7018 (AWS E7018) and Fleetweld®5P+ (AWS E6010). Also capable of MIG, flux-cored, and TIG welding.

• Choose DC(+) for a deep penetrating arc or DC(-) for less penetration on thin sheet metal.

• Rated 225 amps/25 volts/40% duty cycle and 210 amps/25 volts/100% duty cycle for CC and 200 amps/20 volts for CV. All rated outputs at 104°F (40°C).

• Simple Output Range Selector can be used to select one of three amperage ranges with generous overlap for Stick/TIG welding, or one Wire Feed welding range.

• Fine adjustment control allows you to dial in just the right welding output for each application.

• Add productivity with self-shielded flux-cored CV wire welding. Compatible with Lincoln Electric LN-25 PRO and LN-15 Across-the-Arc wire feeders for use with a variety of wire electrodes.

• Expand to AC TIG welding with optional Square Wave Invertec Ranger

V205-T AC/DC (powered by AC generator power from the

225) for aluminum and other alloy welding.

™

TIG 175 or

• Arc gouge with up to 5/32 in. (4.0 mm) carbon electrode.

AC Generator Performance

• 10,500 watts peak AC generator power. Most peak power in its class. Use for motor starting.

• 9,000 watts continuous AC generator power. For high capacity needs such as a back-up generator, powering a Tomahawk cutter, an Invertec

inverter welder or a Square Wave™TIG 175 welder.

625 plasma

Also for lights, a grinder or other power tools.

• Delivers up to 38 amps from the single 120V/240V full-KVA receptacle. Standard circuit breakers protect the machine as well as your power tools.

• Delivers up to 40 amps from two 120V duplex receptacles.

• Get two tools in one when you use the Ranger

225 as a power generator for emergency standby power, and/or for welding.

• Optional GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) Kit available for additional protection from electrical shock.

• Simultaneous welding and AC generator power – power up to 3,950 watts while welding at 145 amps (AC generator power is reduced when welding simultaneously per table below).

• Take on more jobs – plug in an optional Tomahawk

625 plasma

cutter to cleanly cut metal.
