Arc Performance
•400 amps @100% duty cycle with output range up to 500 amps
using Chopper Technology®. All ratings are at temperatures of 104°F/40°C.
WHAT IS
CHOPPER TECHNOLOGY®?
Traditional weld control is more | Chopper Technology® |
variable around the desired output. | delivers extremely fast response |
| for smoother output control. |
Patented and Chopper Technology® delivers superior DC arc welding performance for general purpose stick, Downhill Pipe, DC TIG, MIG,
Benefits of Chopper Technology® include:
-Easy arc starting
-Smooth arc action
-Low spatter levels
-Excellent bead appearance
•Arc Gouging with up to a 5/16" carbon.
•VRD™ (Voltage Reduction Device™) reduced OCV (open circuit voltage) in
WHAT IS VRD™?
The VRD™ (Voltage Reduction Device™) provides additional safety in the
The VRD™ is activated by flipping a toggle switch inside the machine to the “ON” position. Indicator lights monitor the voltage: green for less than 32 volts while not welding, and either red (greater than 32 volts) or green while welding, depending on the actual voltage of the arc.
Other weld modes when VRD™ is on: |
| ||
Downhill Pipe | – | There is no output. |
|
– OCV is not reduced. |
| ||
Touch Start TIG® | – | No difference in |
|
|
| operation. TIG is |
