Most of the modern welders do draw a fair amount of current at full
capacity, my unit is an older Miller machine and it draws 105 amp. at 240 v
.. , a Miller Syncrowave draws approx. 135 amp. at 240 v., takes a lot of
power to weld tin foil.Thanks , Phil

It's some welder if it takes 125 amps at 240 volts.
