GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Invertec V160-T is an industrial 160 amp arc welding power source which utilizes single phase input power, to produce constant current output. The welding response of this Invertec has been optimized for stick (SMAW) and TIG (GTAW). The unit is ideal for industrial applications where portability is impor- tant.

The Invertec V160-T performs DC TIG with high fre- quency or Touch Start Tig Starting with excellent results.

WELDING CAPAbILITY

The Invertec V160-T is rated at 160 amps, 26.4 volts, at 35% duty cycle on a ten minute basis. It is capable of higher duty cycles at lower output currents. It is capable of 130 amps, 25.2 volts at 100% duty cycle(1). If the duty cycle is exceeded, a thermal protector will shut off the output until the machine cools. See Technical Specifications in A-1 for other rated outputs.

The Invertec V160-T is recommended for stick weld- ing with such popular electrodes as Fleetweld® 35, Fleetweld 37, Fleetweld 180 and Jet-LH 78 MR.

LIMITATIONS

The V160-T is not recommended for pipe thawing.

(1)When connected to 230VAC inputs.
