What it welds
The ARCCAPTAIN MIG200P MIG Welder is a MIG / gas with a maker-stated output of up to 200 amps on 220-volt input.
By Miller's rule of thumb of 1 amp per 0.001 inch of steel, 200 amps reaches about 0.200 in in a single pass. Amps by thickness.
The listing doesn't give a duty cycle with its amperage, which makes long beads hard to plan; the rating plate or manual should state it. Why it matters.
Processes, per the maker: MIG, Gasless Flux Core, Lift TIG. Most multi-process machines' TIG is DC lift-arc, so no aluminium unless AC is stated. Choosing a process.
It runs solid wire under shielding gas (Gasless) for the cleanest wire-feed welds; most machines like it also run flux-core wire outdoors.
Plan a 240-volt circuit sized as the manual states before it arrives. What input voltage changes.
Use a lens of at least OSHA's minimum shade for the current: shade 10 or darker for typical MIG work here. Shade chart.
Also on the listing: dimensions of 14.9 x 5.3 x 9.7 inches and a weight of 32.8 lb.
Warranty, per the listing: 2-Year Manufacturer.
