The ED160WELDYSRE is a diesel welder generator: a 160 amp welder with a 60% duty cycle, plus a single phase 230V, 50 Hz generator output of up to 6.8kVA at 0.8 power factor. A Yanmar L100N5 diesel engine drives the set, and it has electric start. Welding leads are not included and are sold separately.

Key features

  • The welder gives 160 amps at a 60% duty cycle, which means it can weld at full current for about six minutes in every ten.
  • One Yanmar L100N5 diesel engine runs both the welder and the generator, so there is a single engine to fuel and maintain.
  • Electric start gets the engine going without pulling a cord.
  • A double 15 Amp GPO on the generator side runs lights and hand tools around the work.
  • Gentech covers the frame and alternator for 24 months, and Yanmar covers the engine for 12 months.

At 80% load the set uses about 1.65 L/h, so the 5.4 L tank lasts about 3.3 hours. Noise is 80 dBA at 7 m.

What it will run

On the generator side, the set typically runs site lighting, grinders, drills and other hand tools within its 6.8kVA maximum output. Motors draw several times their running load at start, so read the compliance plate on each tool and allow for the largest one. If you plan to weld while running other equipment, send us the details and we will check the combination, or send your load list for sizing help.

The ED160WELDYSRE suits field repairs, fabrication and maintenance welding on farms, building sites, workshops and contract jobs, with the generator output covering the lighting and tools around the work. It is built for standby use and is not rated for prime or continuous duty.
