The PATON mini-arc welder is designed for manual MMA arc welding using direct current. The MINI series is dedicated to users who require a functional device with its full rated current of 150A. This is sufficient to work with any electrode from Ф1.6 mm to Ф4 mm inclusive, with a duty cycle of at least 40%, allowing it to perform most tasks in the household sector (cottages, small workshops, car service stations, etc.). The state-of-the-art digital display allows you to accurately set the welding current you want to work at.. Thanks to its sturdy, compact design, the MINI series welder is perfect for field work and household conditions. The small size of the device makes the units very portable. PATON VDI MINI welder has an installed work stabilization system, so it can be powered from a generator.. The main advantages of the PATON MINI welder: European manufacturing of welding machines. Smooth adjustment of welding current. Possibility to work on long extension cords as well as with generator. All electronic components are impregnated with two layers of high-quality varnish, which ensures the reliability of the product throughout its lifetime. Improved arc glow stability. Hot-Start (hot start), Arc-Force (arc force) and Anti-Force (anti-scratch)Functions. The devices have voltage spike protection and an operation stabilization system, enabling proper operation for a voltage range of 170V to 260V. Two times lower power requirements compared to traditional sources. Hot-Start function - ensures the highest quality of the beginning of welding, first-class ignition - when the electric arc is ignited, during a short moment of time, the working welding current increases from the set working level to the optimal level. In some cases (when working with a weak network or generator), this level can be set manually if there is a corresponding switch (as in the "Professional" series). Lowering the "Hot-Start" to reduce energy consumption from a weak grid or increasing it in a strong grid makes ignition much easier. Arc-Force function - is used to improve short arc combustion stability and prevent electrode "sticking". When a drop of metal separates from the electrode, the current is automatically increased to a certain level if there is a corresponding switch (as in the "Professional" series). By lowering the "Arc Force" to reduce the power consumption from a weak grid or increasing it in a strong grid, the stability of arc burning is even more improved. Anti-Stick (anti-stick) function - enables the welder to easily separate the electrode from the product. In the event of a short circuit (if it occurs), the welding current is reduced automatically after a short pause. Once the electrode is separated from the workpiece, the source automatically restores its operation. #CALC!
