Ruffian ES 150G EDW

Inquire about this product

The Ruffian ES 150G engine driven welder is a lightweight, powerful, all-in-one DC Stick welding machine and AC generator combined.

As a welder, Ruffian uses inverter technology to provide up to 150 A of reliable welding power at 60% duty cycle in a very stable arc that helps avoid rework.

As a gas-powered AC generator, Ruffian uses a 14 HP Kohler® engine to deliver up to 4.5 kW starting power. Its 120 VAC and 240 VAC outlets provide versatility to run lights, grinders, hand tools –even light-duty plasma cutters and MIG/TIG welding power sources. It can even serve as an emergency power generator.

  • Advanced control over arc parameters, including adjustable Arc Force, to optimize the arc –especially with 6010 electrodes
  • Impressive power output of 150A at 60% duty cycle
  • Thermal protection for the welder and generator guaranteeing a long, useful life
  • Latest inverter technology ensures a stable and smooth stick arc that produces the cleanest welds
  • Trusted Kohler gas engine meets a high standard of power and reliability
  • Fuel-efficient 5-gallon gas tank and engine hour meter
  • Auxiliary generator output voltage is independent from the welding current, allowing simultaneous use of electrical tools without worrying about adjustments to the welder settings
  • Four 120 VAC, 20 A GFCI receptacles and one 240 VAC (6-50R) receptacle, all protected by a circuit breaker and covers
  • Easy to maneuver through the job site with large industrial-grade wheels that provide high ground clearance; and ergonomic, removable handles that distribute weight evenly
