Which if the name plate is correct is like a .62 power factor. So it will be getting some power factor correction.
I have a home made 120v spot welder but it kind of sucks.

16 amps continuous at 240 VAC . I would wire it with # 10 copper THHN & try it on a 2 pole 20 amp Circuit Breaker . If that holds , good , it not go to a 2 pole 30 amp CB . 10 copper THHN is good for 30 amps . Certainly OK for 20 amps .
