The PATON ECO-160-C is a compact 160A arc welder, perfect for field work and household conditions. The device's small size makes it very mobile. The PATON ECO-160-C welder has a work stabilisation system installed, allowing it to be powered by a generator. The 160A output allows the use of electrodes from 1.6mm to 4.0mm in diameter. The ECO-160-C benefits from a 40% duty cycle and 5-year warranty.

All machines supplied by Rapid Welding are load tested, have a gas hose with 3.8" fittings supplied and a UK plug adaptor included. 

  • Powerful Output in a Compact Package: Weld with confidence — the ECO 160-C delivers up to 160A of steady, reliable power for MMA (Stick) welding. For electrode diameters 1.6mm up to 4.0mm
  • Lightweight & Portable: Weighs just 3.7 kg – ideal for site work, garages, and hard-to-reach spots
  • Ukrainian Engineering: Built by Paton™ in Europe, one of Europe’s most trusted welding brands with over 60 years of innovation
  • Generator Ready: Possibility to work on long extension cables as well as with a generator
  • Hot-Start, Arc-Force and Anti-Force functions
  • 5-Year Warranty

Product Details

The PATON ECO-160-C MMA stick welder is designed for manual MMA arc welding with direct current. ECO series is dedicated for home users who require a functional device with a nominal current of 160A. This is sufficient to work with any electrode from 1.6mm to 4mm, including low-fusing electrodes. The duty cycle is at least 40%, which makes it possible to carry out most tasks on a semi-industrial scale, and it works perfectly in the household sector.

230v Arc Welders FAQs

Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing and using a 230 volt single phase arc welder.

How much welding current can a 230 volt supply provide?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

Single phase supplies limit how much current a welder can draw, so the top-end output of 230 volt machines is lower than three phase equipment. Within that limit, a good inverter can handle a wide range of electrode sizes, from fine work to fairly heavy repair welding.

For heavy plate, long continuous welding or large diameter electrodes, a three phase machine is the better fit. Check the maker's output and duty cycle figures at the current you actually plan to use.

Does the plug and fuse on my supply matter?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

Yes. The welder draws more current at its maximum setting than a typical household appliance. Check its input current on the data plate and make sure the plug, socket, cable and circuit protection are rated for it.

A socket circuit that is too small will trip, overheat or give a weak arc. Some machines are supplied with a particular plug rating. Have a qualified electrician check or upgrade the supply if you are unsure.

What is the difference between a transformer and an inverter welder?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

Transformer welders use a heavy iron and copper transformer to reduce the voltage. They are robust and simple, but they are heavy and usually draw more current from the supply for the same output.

Inverter welders convert the supply electronically before reducing it, which makes them noticeably lighter and smaller, and usually gives a smoother, more controllable arc. Most current 230 volt welders are inverters. The exact weight and energy saving vary from machine to machine, so compare the weight and input current on the data plate and in the manual for the machines you are considering.

Can I run a 230 volt welder from a generator?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

Sometimes, but not every welder suits every generator. The generator must supply the welder's input current continuously, with a margin, and give a clean, stable voltage. A generator that is too small or poor quality can cause cut-outs, an unstable arc and damage to the welder's electronics.

Size the generator from the welder's input power, not its welding output, and check the welder's manual and data plate for any generator guidance. If the manual does not say the machine is suitable for generator use, ask the maker before connecting it.
