Compare Parkside PMSG 200 A2 and PMSG 200 A1
Comparing the welding machines Parkside PMSG 200 A2 and Parkside PMSG 200 A1, it can be noted that both devices have the same type — semi-automatic inverter and support three types of welding: MMA, MIG/MAG, and TIG. Their maximum welding current is also identical — 200 A for TIG and 160 A for MIG. However, the differences lie in the dimensions: PMSG 200 A2 measures 283x210x442 mm, while PMSG 200 A1 is slightly smaller at 285x210x420 mm. Both machines have a digital display and the same protection class IP21, as well as a weight of 8.6 kg. The choice between them may depend on preferences in size and design.

Glossary
Power consumption
The maximum power consumed by the welding machine during operation, expressed in kilowatts (kW), that is, thousands of watts. In addition, the designation in kilovolt-amperes (kVA) can be used, see below for it.
The higher the power consumption, the more powerful the current the device is capable of delivering and the better it is suitable for working with thick parts. For different materials of different thicknesses, there are recommendations for current strength, they can be clarified in specialized sources. Knowing these recommendations and the open circuit voltage (see below) for the selected type of welding, it is possible to calculate the minimum required power of the welding machine using special formulas. It is also worth considering that high power creates corresponding loads on the wiring and may require connection directly to the shield.
As for the difference between watts and volt-amperes, the physical meaning of both units is the same — current times voltage. However, they represent different parameters. In volt-amperes, the total power consumption is indicated — both active (going to do work and heat individual parts) and reactive (going to losses in coils and capacitors). This value is more convenient to use to calculate the load on the power grid. In watts, only active power is recorded; according to these numbers, it is convenient to calculate the practical capabilities of the welding machine.
