Versatile welder/generator features 10,000 watts
The Champion 10,000 welder/generator produces 10,000 watts of peak auxiliary power and a 210-amp constant current, DC weld output at 60 percent duty cycle. Units are powered by a 20-hp OHV, twin-cylinder Kohler engine or a 22-hp OHV Subaru engine.

The Champion 10,000 features 9,500 watts of continuous power (while not welding) from four 120 V (20 amp) receptacles and one 120/240 V (50 amp) receptacle. All receptacles feature push-button reset circuit breakers. Auxiliary power is not available while welding.

The unit provides excellent starting capabilities for motors in the three to five hp range. It can run for up to nine hours on one 10-gallon tank of gas under a steady load of 4,000 watts. Unlike competitive units, the rheostat does not have to be set to maximum for full auxiliary output.

On the welding side, the Champion 10,000 features Hobart’s patented Field Current Control (FCC) technology for smooth stick arc starts with minimal sticking of the rod. The FCC monitors feedback from the welding arc and continuously adjusts the current from the generator to maintain optimum arc characteristics. It has a 50 to 230-amp output for welding with 6010, 6011, 6013 and 7018 rods up to 3/16 inch and 7014 and 7024 rods up to 5/32 inch.
