The Esab Ruffian ES 150G brings affordability and value with no sacrifice to performance to the Welder Generator market. The Ruffian ES 150G 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 an AC generator, Ruffian uses a 14 HP Kohler® engine to deliver up to 4.5Kw starting power. 120 VAC and 240 VAC outlets provide versatility to run lights, grinders, hand tools – even light-duty plasma cutters and MIG/TIG welders – and to use as emergency backup.
