Q: input volts/amps vs output volts/amps, your spec sheet guide is crazy. there is no way you can have 160 amp input into this machine, that is more amperage than what some small house panels run on. so what are the real numbers??
2 months ago1 Answer
- AI-generated, Human-approvedA: This welder operates with an input voltage of 120V or 240V and provides a maximum output of 160 amps. For a 240V connection, a 30-amp minimum breaker is recommended, though a 40-amp breaker is a better fit.2 months agoHelpful?
Q: What gauge wire should I run for a 25 foot extension cord for this welder, and is it a three wire or four wire plug?
5 months ago1 Answer
- A: Hi there! For your Hobart StickMate 160i Welder operating at 240VAC, you should run an 8-gauge, three-wire extension cord to ensure safe operation and minimal voltage drop over a 25-foot distance.4 months agoHelpful?
Q: This welder has a 30 amp plug. Why do you neex a generator with 50 amp.to run it. Why wont a 30 amp plug on a 5500 watt generator run it properly
6 months ago1 Answer
- A: A 5500-watt generator is generally too small for the Hobart StickMate 160i because welding requires massive "bursts" of power that exceed what a standard 30-amp generator outlet can provide. Hobart officially recommends a generator with at least 6,500 to 10,000 running watts to handle these power spikes without damaging the welder's sensitive inverter electronics.6 months agoHelpful?
Q: What size breaker 240 v
10 months ago1 Answer
- A: Hello, thank you for your question. Per the vendor, "30 Amp Min; 40 Amp is better fit."10 months agoHelpful?

Great little welder

Great lightweight welder with clean burn. My only complaint is it needs a storage bag for the leads and power adapter but doesn't have one.
