Question 1

What is the duty cycle?

Accepted Answer

60% at 200A is correct but only partially.  The unit has a 100% duty cycle rating at 150A.  I hope this helps compare apples to apples instead of other oranges out there that state their machines are rated at 100% to get your attention only to find out that they are 100% at 1/2 of full amps; or more commonly, 70% duty cycle but at 3/4 of the machines capacity.  i.e. if you're comparing the advertised duty cycles, you need to know that this would equate to what you'll find listed as "100%" by what most retailers are advertising.  Eastwood; for example, doesn't bother listing their duty cycle any more.  All in all, this machines duty cycle exceeded what I found when I dug in and started looking for true specs.  Note:  I have not rated the machine yet since I only have 2 weeks burn time on it and have not put it through its paces.  Thus far it is great and I'm glad I waited to buy it but I don't blast reviews out on something I just turned on and "seems to work" like most of these.  As far as I am concerned, this is a shill tactic.

Question 2

Any details on the 3 year warranty? Couldn't find that section

Accepted Answer

The warranty is on page 15 of the owners manual or at ahpwelds.com/return_warranty.php  it is 3 years on machine and 6 months on torches foot panels and spool guns if applicable,  very happy with mine for the cost it is exceptional

Question 3

What’s the diffrence between this one and the other one listed  one amazon for $797? Why does it have all the reviews?

Accepted Answer

Called AHP Customer Service, they are the same machine. They are both listed as AHP being the vender but AHP Customer Service is telling me that's not completely true (there's a middle man involved with the higher priced machine). AHP is offering a discount on the machine for pre-orders as a courtesy "thank you" to those who are waiting for the new release to ship out at the end of the month (Late February 2018).

Question 4

Does it have pulse?

Accepted Answer

Yes it has 3 pulse settings, frequency, amperage% and time.
