ARCPEX ARC200 DV Stick Welder
A portable MMA/Stick + DC Lift TIG welder for repair projects. The published manual specifies 110V ±15% and 230V ±15% input. Verify the intended electrical supply before use.
ARCPEX ARC200 DV
A 2-in-1 MMA/Stick + DC Lift TIG welder, not a MIG wire-feed machine. DC Lift TIG requires an appropriate TIG torch, accessories, tungsten electrodes, and argon shielding gas.

Final current-batch nameplate ratings
Source: the ARC200 DV nameplate PDF confirmed by the owner as the final label for the current retail batch. These ratings are specific to the welding process and nominal input shown. 220V is the label's nominal input value; the published manual separately lists 230V ±15%. They are distinct source entries, not identical test entries.
| Process | Nominal input U1 | Current / duty-cycle ratings |
|---|---|---|
| TIG | 220V | 200A/35%, 152A/60%, 118A/100% |
| TIG | 110V | 120A/30%, 85A/60%, 66A/100% |
| MMA/Stick | 220V | 200A/15%, 99A/60%, 77A/100% |
| MMA/Stick | 110V | 120A/10%, 49A/60%, 38A/100% |
Duty cycle is the share of a specified test period during which the welder can operate at a stated current and ambient temperature. It does not mean unlimited continuous welding. Each 100% entry applies only to its listed current, process, nominal input, and applicable test conditions, not continuous welding at maximum output. Follow the applicable operating instructions and required cooling periods; thermal protection does not replace those limits.

❓ ARC200 DV FAQ
What input and output ranges does the ARC200 DV manual specify?
The published manual specifies 110V ±15% input with 10–120A output adjustment and 230V ±15% input with 10–200A output adjustment. These ranges do not establish compatibility with every outlet or generator and do not promise continuous operation at the upper setting.
How thick can the ARC200 DV weld?
No universal thickness guarantee is given. Weld suitability depends on the welding process, material, joint preparation, electrode, settings, and technique. Confirm a suitable procedure for the intended job rather than choosing by input voltage alone.
Can the ARC200 DV weld aluminum?
The ARC200 DV supports MMA/Stick and DC Lift TIG, not MIG wire-feed. Its DC Lift TIG mode is not an AC TIG aluminum process. For aluminum, consider the ARCPEX MIG200 (with spool gun) or the ACDC TIG200P.
What electrodes and TIG accessories do I need?
For MMA/Stick, select the electrode type, size, polarity, and current according to the applicable manual, electrode instructions, material, and joint. DC Lift TIG requires an appropriate TIG torch and accessories, tungsten electrodes, and argon shielding gas.
Can I use the ARC200 DV outdoors?
MMA/Stick does not require external shielding gas. DC Lift TIG requires argon shielding gas and suitable shielding conditions. Follow the manual's environmental and electrical precautions; outdoor use does not remove those requirements.
What circuit, wiring, or generator do I need for the ARC200 DV?
Voltage alone does not prove circuit compatibility. Have a qualified electrician verify the intended supply, circuit protection, wiring, grounding, and connection against the machine's input requirements and operating conditions. No universal circuit rating, wire gauge, or generator compatibility is specified here.
