product introduction
HiArc S 140 is a manual metal arc welding machine, small in size, suitable
for industry, site and repair welding. The unit uses one phase connection
voltage (230 V).
HiArc tolerates a great fluctuation of input voltage and is thus suitable
for work on sites using generator as well as to be used with long power
cables. Inverter technology has been used when designing the unit. Power
regulation in power source is done with IGBT transistors. Welding and earth
return cables are supplied with the unit. They are equipped with suitable
connections for the unit electrode holder, earth clamps and connections.
HiArc can also be used for TIG welding. TIG arc is started by scratching.
Ordering numbers of additional equipment for TIG welding can be found in
chapter 5. Ordering numbers.
