⚡200A INVERTER • SINGLE PHASE 230 V • ONLY 5.5 KG

A 200 A Welder That Fits in One Hand and Runs on a Domestic Plug.

The CRUXWELD ARC 200 (CMM-ARC200i) is a digital inverter stick welding machine for workshops, fabricators, maintenance teams and site repair. It welds 1.6 to 3.2 mm electrodes all day — and 4 mm intermittently — from a single-phase 230 V supply, drawing a maximum of 4 kVA.

At 5.5 kg with a shoulder strap it goes up a ladder, into a vehicle or across a site, and its 85% efficiency and 0.93 power factor keep the electricity bill low.

Overview

WHY IT WORKS

Key Features

200 A from a single-phase plug

10–200 A adjustable: 200 A at 60% duty cycle and 135 A continuously at 100%, all from a 230 V single-phase supply.

1.6 to 3.2 mm electrodes, 4 mm intermittent

Rutile 6013 and low-hydrogen 7018 electrodes for sheet, pipe and structural repair; 4 mm rods for occasional heavy passes.

Digital inverter, 85% efficiency

High-frequency inverter with 0.93 power factor and only 16 W idle draw — a fraction of the running cost of a transformer welder.

Easy striking, no sticking

65 V open-circuit voltage gives a confident strike, and the inverter’s fast response keeps the arc stable at low currents on thin material.

Tolerates poor supply

Works on 230 V ±15%, so voltage dips on a long extension lead or a shared workshop line do not stop the job.

Generator compatible

Runs from a portable petrol or diesel genset for sites without mains power.

IP23S, Class H insulation

Forced-air cooling and Class H windings for long life in dusty, hot workshop and site conditions.

5.5 kg, 410 × 150 × 300 mm

Smaller than a toolbox. Carry it on the shoulder strap, keep it in the service van, hang it from a scaffold.

Simple to operate

One current knob, clear digital display — a new welder is productive in minutes.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU

Buyer Benefits

No three-phase connection needed

Plug into a standard 16 A single-phase socket — ideal for small workshops, farms, service vans and home-based fabricators.

Lowest running cost

High efficiency and power factor mean more welding per unit of electricity than any transformer machine.

Take the welder to the job

5.5 kg means repairs happen where the breakdown is — not after the part has been carried back to the shop.

Clean results on thin metal

Stable arc down to 10 A for 1.6 mm electrodes on sheet, brackets and light sections.

TECHNOLOGY

How the ARC 200 Works

The ARC 200 rectifies the 230 V single-phase supply, switches it at high frequency through an inverter stage and transforms it down to welding voltage. Because the transformer works at kilohertz frequencies instead of 50 Hz it is tiny and light — the reason a 200 A machine weighs 5.5 kg. A digital controller monitors arc voltage and current continuously and corrects them in microseconds, giving a smooth, stable arc that is easy for a new welder to control.

Duty Cycle Explained

200 A at 60% duty cycle means 6 minutes of welding in any 10-minute period at full current before the thermal protection asks for a pause. At 135 A — enough for 3.2 mm electrodes — the ARC 200 welds continuously. For all-day 4 mm and 5 mm work, step up to the three-phase ARC400iS.

BUYING GUIDE

Is the ARC 200 Right for You?

Choose the ARC 200 if you weld mostly 2.5 and 3.2 mm electrodes, need a machine that runs from a single-phase socket, or carry your welder to the job. If you weld 4 mm and 5 mm electrodes for hours at a time, or have a three-phase supply, the ARC400iS is the better buy.

Model Output Supply Best for
ARC 200 200 A, 5.5 kg 230 V single phase Workshops, repair, 1.6–3.2 mm electrodes
ARC400iS 400 A, 28 kg 415 V, 3 phase Structural & site work, up to 5 mm electrodes
ARC630-2T 2 × 630 A 415 V, 3 phase Two welders, gouging, 6 mm electrodes
WORK SAFE

Safety Guidelines

Electrical

Use an earthed 16 A single-phase socket; avoid thin, long extension leads that drop the voltage below the −15% limit.

Personal protection

Welding helmet (shade 9–11), leather gloves, apron and closed shoes. Keep onlookers behind a screen.

Ventilation

Weld in a ventilated area; use extraction for galvanised or painted steel.

Cooling

Keep the air inlets clear and let the fan run after heavy welding before switching off.

Question & Answers

GOT QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the ARC 200 run on a normal household single-phase connection?+
Yes. It needs a 230 V single-phase supply and draws a maximum of 4 kVA, so a standard 16 A earthed socket is sufficient. Avoid long, thin extension leads that drop the voltage.
Which electrodes can I use?+
1.6, 2.5 and 3.2 mm rutile (6013) and low-hydrogen (7018) electrodes for continuous work, and 4 mm electrodes intermittently. For regular 4–5 mm welding choose the ARC400iS.
What does 200 A at 60% duty cycle mean?+
You can weld 6 minutes out of every 10 at the full 200 A; at 135 A, which covers 3.2 mm electrodes, the machine welds continuously.
Can it run on a generator?+
Yes, the ARC 200 is generator compatible. For full-output welding use a generator of around 5 kVA or more with a stable output.
How heavy is it and can I carry it on site?+
Only 5.5 kg, 410 × 150 × 300 mm, supplied with a shoulder strap — it is designed to be carried to the job.
Is it suitable for a beginner or a training institute?+
Yes. One current knob, a stable inverter arc and anti-stick behaviour make it easy to learn on, which is why ITIs and skill centres use it.
What is the warranty and after-sales support?+
Every ARC 200 is tested before dispatch and supported by CRUXWELD engineers across India. The warranty period and terms for your order are stated on the quotation and invoice.
