6. The welding unit is easy operated due to the optimal operating load factor in
operation
at the rated current .
7. The enhanced reliability of the welding unit in operation in dusty environment.
8. The welding unit contains an electronic thermal protection system for
protecting all the heat-generating components of the welding unit against
overheating.
9. All the printed-circuit boards with electronic elements are impregnated with
two layers of high-quality varnish in order to provide the high reliability of
the welding unit within its service life.
10. Improved arc stability
