The PATON PRO-250 MMA/TIG Lift welder is designed for manual MMA arc welding, argon shielded direct current TIG arc welding, and semi-automatic MIG/MAG welding in gas and protective mixtures. This model achieves a duty cycle of 70% at its full nominal current of 250A, which is sufficient for working with any electrodes from Ф1.6mm up to fusible Ф4mm, as well as semi-automatic welding with solid wire from Ф0.6mm to Ф1.0mm (MIG/MAG welding is possible after purchasing a wire feeder). The device is set to optimal values for most use cases. Demanding users can select each parameter individually. The PRO series offers full electronic control, which allows greater control of the welding process for each selected method, as well as enabling the equipment to maximize its potential. Welding inverters in the PRO series are dedicated to industrial use, as well as for the most demanding home users. The PRO series of welding inverters is designed for industrial use, as well as for the most demanding home users. Main advantages of Paton PRO-200 MMA welding machine European manufacturing of welding machines. Electronic thermal protection system to protect all heat generating components from overheating. Possibility to connect an external wire feeder. Possibility to work on long extension cords as well as with a generator. Pulse current welding mode available in all methods. 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 160V to 260V. Two times lower power requirements compared to traditional sources. Optimal fusion and proper stitch shape regardless of welding position. 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!
