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.
WARNING
FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous.
• Keep your head out of fumes.
• Use ventilation or exhaust to
remove fumes from breathing
zone.
ARC RAYS
can burn.
• Wear eye, ear and body
protection.
WELDING, CUTTING and
GOUGING SPARKS
can cause fire or explosion
• Keep flammable material away.
• Do not weld, cut or gouge on
containers that have held com-
bustibles.
