GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Invertec® V311-T AC/DC is an industrial 310 amp
arc welding power source that utilizes single or three
phase input power, to produce constant current out-
put. The welding response has been optimized for
stick (SMAW) and TIG (GTAW). The unit is ideal for
industrial applications where portability, high efficiency
and premium arc performance is important.
The Invertec® V311-T AC/DC is a power source that
can perform the following types of welding with excel-
lent results:
• TIG AC with square, sinusoidal and triangular
waveforms.
• TIG DC (with high frequency or Touch Start TIG
Starting)
• Stick DC & Stick AC
WELDING CAPABILITY
The Invertec® V311-T AC/DC is rated at 310 amps,
22.4 volts, at 40% duty cycle on a ten minute basis
when connected to a 460V three phase supply line. It
is capable of higher duty cycles at lower output cur-
rents. If the duty cycle is exceeded, a thermal protec-
tor will shut off the output until the machine cools. See
Technical Specifications in A-1 for other rated outputs.
The Invertec® V311-T AC/DC is recommended for
s t i c k w e l d i n g w i t h s u c h p o p u l a r e l e c t r o d e s a s
Fleetweld 5P and 5P+ (E6010), Fleetweld 35 (E6011),
Fleetweld 37 (E6013), Fleetweld 180 (E6011) and
Excalibur 7018.
LIMITATIONS
The Invertec® V311-T AC/DC is not recommended for
pipe thawing.
