Energy Consumption of Dedra 200A Welder at 130A for 1 Hour

The discussion centers on the energy consumption of the Dedra 200A welder when operating at 130A for one hour. Users provide various insights, noting that the welder's load voltage at maximum current is approximately 28V. One response estimates that continuous welding at 200A consumes about 6kWh, costing around PLN 3.50, while lower currents like 130A would result in reduced electricity costs. Another user mentions that the welder operates on a 230V 16A socket, with a maximum power of 3.6kW, suggesting that actual consumption would be less than this value. A practical measurement from a user with a Dedra 160A welder indicates a consumption of about 2300 to 2500 watts per hour during welding. The conversation also highlights the impracticality of continuous welding without breaks, emphasizing the need for realistic operational parameters.
