General
Device concept
The power source is specifically designed
to pre-heat welding wires during TIG hot-
wire welding and has the following charac-
teristics:
-
Compact dimensions
-
Robust plastic housing
-
High reliability even under tough usage
conditions
-
Carrier belt for easy transport even on
construction sites
-
Securely attached operating elements
-
Current sockets with bayonet latch
Additionally, the power source offers Power Factor Correction, meaning the current con-
sumption of the power source is adapted to the sinusoidal grid voltage. This has many ad-
vantages for the user, such as:
-
Low primary current
-
Low conductivity losses
-
Late tripping of the power circuit breaker
-
Improved stability during voltage fluctuations
-
Compatibility with long grid leads
