    I'm going to say no you can't. You could probably run a voltage sensing feeder off it though.

    Thermal Arc 300 AC/DC ( Sanrex )
    ESAB 301i AC/DC ( Lorch )

    You have to post spec on both.
    Most likely it work just find.
    Most wire feeders use 120v ac

    The only time you can run problems is with spool guns most are 24v ac.

    Most wire feeders are 24 volt, and 42 volt.. Older ones were 120 volts.. The 252 is a cc only machine, and it will take a LN-25 type voltage sensing feeder to run of the stick mode in DC output..No CV output from the power supply.The Digipulse is for a CV power supply.

    The digipulse wire feeder is a microprocessor controlled feeder and it will control the SVI 450i welder. ESAB or L-Tec and allows for pulse welding. In its day it built a lot of car frames.
    The heliarc 252 Is a TIG / stick welder. The two can not be adapted together and work.
