❓ ARC200 DV FAQ
Does the ARC200 DV automatically switch between 110V and 220V?
Yes. The ARC200 DV features auto-sensing dual voltage — simply plug it into a 110V or 220V outlet and it automatically detects and adjusts. No manual switching required.
How thick can the ARC200 DV weld on 110V vs 220V?
On 110V, the ARC200 DV welds up to 3mm (1/8") mild steel using 2.5mm electrodes. On 220V, it handles up to 6mm (1/4") mild steel using 3.2mm electrodes.
Can the ARC200 DV weld aluminum?
No. The ARC200 DV is a DC stick welder and does not support aluminum welding. For aluminum, consider the ARCPEX MIG200 (with spool gun) or the ACDC TIG200P.
What electrodes work with the ARC200 DV?
The ARC200 DV accepts electrodes from 1.6mm to 3.2mm. For mild steel, use E6013 or E6011. For structural work, use E7018 on 220V.
Can I use the ARC200 DV outdoors?
Yes — stick welding is ideal for outdoor use. No shielding gas required, so wind does not affect weld quality. Ultra-lightweight at 10 lbs for easy transport.
What circuit breaker do I need for the ARC200 DV?
Use a dedicated 20A circuit breaker for both 110V and 220V. Use 12 AWG wire for 110V and 10 AWG for 220V runs under 50 feet.
