Some Exciting NEWS! PowerTIG 325 EXT NOW in 220V 1 and 3 phase. 480V too.

That sticker only lists 3 phase specs. I am wondering if there are any limitations when running on single phase over 3 phase? I really like the duty cycle on it. 100% at just under 250 amps is fantastic. The cooling solution must be first rate. How is the fan noise? Of course when you get a new toy, work gets in the way of being able to spend much time with it. I look forward to your first impressions when you get a chance to put it through it's paces.

From what I understood that the duty cycle was the same but the draw was 39.9 Amps on 1X220V at max. 320 Amps but I will ask Duncan. The fan is the same as the 255EXT and the same noise level the water cooler makes more noise.

Used the new 325EXT in single phase 240V had to welded a boat with a crack 52 inches long just a little leak.

Dang. How did you prep it?

Grind all the paint off sand blast some of it and tack welded every six inches then weld it up on pulse weld used vice grips to hold it first before tacking it.

The new connector in the picture is a design we've been working on for some time with our "deluxe" TIG torches. It brings the gas/water line back out to the front so it doesn't interfere with other connections like the older ones did on some units.
