GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Invertec V200-T is an industrial 200 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.

OPERATIONAL FEATURES

The Invertec provides continuous total range output current adjustment. Additionally, a “hot start” system has been built into the welding current control, and provides a higher striking current to assist ignition of the arc.

WELDING CAPABILITY

The Invertec V200-T is rated at 200 amps, 28 volts, at 20% duty cycle on a ten minute basis. It is capable of higher duty cycles at lower output currents. It is capa- ble of 120 amps, 25 volts at at 100% duty cycle. If the duty cycle is exceeded, a thermal protector will shut off the output until the machine cools.

LIMITATIONS

The V200-T is not recommended for pipe thawing.

The V200-T should not be powered from the auxiliary power supply of an engine welder. Special protection circuits may operate causing loss of output.
