Inverter Technology
Using
Inverter Technology
For Multi-Process Welding
Inverters are capable of multiple process welding, providing optimum arc characteristics for each process.
For Reduced Electrical Power Consumption
Copper conductors, compact transformers, and smaller coils translate to energy savings.
For Waveform Control Technology*
Inverter machines are software programmable, which means that they are equipped to use Waveform Control Technology® to manipulate output weld characteristics.
For Networking Capability*
Multiple inverter machines can be networked together over a Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN) with an Ethernet/DeviceNet Gateway board.

Advantages
Of Inverter Technology
Reliable
Every inverter undergoes rigorous testing to ensure product reliability.
Compact and Portable
Smaller chokes, transformers, and rectifiers, give the inverter equivalent power to older SCR machines, without the added size and weight.
Fast Response to Welding Arc
Digital controls regulate the output very accurately so the welding performance is consistent from machine to machine.
Universal Input Voltage**
The inverter can run on any power supply that supplies between 208 to 575 volts.
Efficient
The smaller chokes and transformers of the inverter yield an efficiency rating of 87% to 90%, which means the inverter consumes less energy to convert the same amount of energy as
The Power Wave® 455M uses Inverter technology to produce consistent welds with a variety of weld processes.
*Applies only to Power Wave Welding Systems F355i, 355M, 455M, 455M/STT, 655 Robotic, and Power Wave AC/DC 1000.
**Power Wave 655 Robotic and Power Wave AC/DC 1000 operate from 460 to 575 volts.
