General
Principle
TP 2500 welding system
The TP 2500 and TP 3500 power sources
are a further highlight of the new genera-
tion of inverter power sources. Using
powerful electronics, a unique high-per-
formance, lightweight welding system has
been created.
The power source works on resonance
inverter principles and therefore offers a
number of advantages:
-
Intelligent control for stable arc and
ideal characteristic
-
Excellent ignition and weld properties,
extremely lightweight and with a very
small footprint
-
High switching frequencies and
optimum efficiency
An electronic adjuster adapts the power source characteristic to suit the welding elec-
trode. Selectable modes provide perfect welding results when using rutile electrodes,
basic electrodes or cellulose electrodes (CEL).
Device concept
All versions of the TP 2500/3500 power source are small and compact, yet at the same
time so robust that they will function reliably even under harsh conditions. A powder-
coated sheet steel housing with stainless steel runners, controls and connection sockets
(with bayonet fixing) protected by a plastic frame satisfy the highest demands. The
handle facilitates easy transportation, both in-house or on-site.
In addition to the many features of the standard TP 2500/3500 power source, the TP
2500/3500 RC, TP 2500/3500 TIG, TP 2500/3500 VRD and TP 2500/3500 MVm ver-
sions offer a further raft of options.
Application areas
In addition to manual metal arc welding, the systems in the TP 2500/3500 series also
offer convenient functions for TIG welding, e.g. touchdown ignition and the practical TIG
Comfort Stop (TCS). The TP 2500/3500 TIG also has the TIG pulsed arc welding mode.
Thanks to their small dimensions, the machines in the TP 2500/3500 series are espe-
cially well suited to portable use on building sites and for assembly work. But even when
used as stationary units in workshops or industrial facilities, the machines are powerful
and economical alternatives.
