PERFORMANCE

Arc Performance

•Smooth DC welding output for a broad range of stick electrodes, such as Lincoln Excalibur® 7018 (AWS E7018) and Fleetweld® 5P+ (AWS E6010). Also capable of MIG, flux-cored, and TIG welding.

•Choose DC(+) for a deep penetrating arc or DC(-) for less penetration on thin sheet metal.

•Rated 225 amps/25 volts/40% duty cycle and 210 amps/25 volts/100% duty cycle for CC and 200 amps/20 volts for CV. All rated outputs at 104°F (40°C).

•Simple Output Range Selector can be used to select one of three amperage ranges with generous overlap for Stick/TIG welding, or one Wire Feed welding range.

•Fine adjustment control allows you to dial in just the right welding output for each application.

•Add productivity with self-shielded flux-cored CV wire welding. Compatible with Lincoln Electric LN-25 PRO and LN-15 Across-the-Arc wire feeders for use with a variety of wire electrodes.

•Expand to AC TIG welding with optional Square Wave™ TIG 175 or Invertec® V205-T AC/DC (powered by AC generator power from the Ranger® 225) for aluminum and other alloy welding.

•Arc gouge with up to 5/32 in. (4.0 mm) carbon electrode.

AC Generator Performance

•10,500 watts peak AC generator power. Most peak power in its class. Use for motor starting.

•9,000 watts continuous AC generator power. For high capacity needs such as a back-up generator, powering a Tomahawk® 625 plasma cutter, an Invertec® inverter welder or a Square Wave™ TIG 175 welder. Also for lights, a grinder or other power tools.

•Delivers up to 38 amps from the single 120V/240V full-KVA receptacle. Standard circuit breakers protect the machine as well as your power tools.

•Delivers up to 40 amps from two 120V duplex receptacles.

•Get two tools in one when you use the Ranger® 225 as a power generator for emergency standby power, and/or for welding.

•Optional GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) Kit available for additional protection from electrical shock.

•Simultaneous welding and AC generator power – power up to 3,950 watts while welding at 145 amps (AC generator power is reduced when welding simultaneously per table below).

•Take on more jobs – plug in an optional Tomahawk® 625 plasma cutter to cleanly cut metal.
