are
designed
for
manual
metal
arc
welding
(MMA),
tungsten
arc
inert
gas
welding
(TIG)
and
semiautomatic
metal
inert/active
gas
welding
(MIG/MAG)
in
the
atmosphere
of
shielding
gas
or
mixture
(as
a
source
with
an
external
feeding
machine)
using
direct
current
Advantageous
completely
digital
control
implemented
in
the
design
of
the
machine
provides
freedom
from
limitations
typical
for
multi
‐
functional
systems
based
on
analogous
control
system,
which
are
always
inherently
geared
towards
a
specific
mode,
while
other
modes
are
additional
and
have
drawbacks
in
terms
of
control.
On
the
contrary,
control
board
of
a
completely
digital
system
offers
all
capabilities
of
the
source
within
the
range
of
its
full
power,
regardless
of
the
mode
of
use.
This
Professional
series
is
designed
for
industrial
use.
Due
to
additional
adjustments,
the
inverter
rectifier
can
be
set
to
optimum
settings
in
various
applications.
They
provide
virtually
uninterruptible
load
duration
at
full
fair
rated
current
of
160
A,
200
A
and
250
A
respectively,
which
is
sufficient
for
work
with
any
electrodes
from
Ф
1.6
mm
in
diameter
up
to
low
‐
melting
Ф
6
mm
electrodes
(for
PRO
‐
250)
,
as
well
as
for
semiautomatic
solid
wire
welding
featuring
wire
from
Ф
0.6
mm
to
Ф
1.2
mm
in
diameter
(for
PRO
‐
250)
.
Initially,
the
source
is
set
to
settings,
which
are
optimum
for
most
applications,
and
is
quite
easy
to
use
if
you
do
not
go
into
details
of
settings,
which
require
good
welder's
skills.
For
safety
in
dangerous
working
conditions,
the
rectifier
is
equipped
with
an
in
‐
built
unit
for
open
‐
circuit
voltage
reduction
in
MMA
mode,
which
can
be
enabled
or
disabled.
This PRO m odel
by
PATON
is
equipped
with
a
unit
for
undervoltage,
as
well
as
short-time
overvoltage,
protection.
Due
to
increased
frequency
of
voltage
supplied
to
the
transformer,
the
transformer
can
be
made
several
tenfolds
smaller.
That
is
why
weight
and
overall
dimensions
of
this
machine
is
several
times
smaller
than
those
of
regular
equipment
with
identical
output
parameters.
Main
advantages:
1. Wide
range
of
welding
parameters
adjustment:
a)
in
MMA
mode
–
1
(main)
+
7
(additional)
+
3
(for
pulsed
welding
mode)
b)
in
TIG
mode
–
1
(main)
+
1
(additional)
+
3
(for
pulsed
welding
mode)
c)
in
semiautomatic
MIG/MAG
mode
–
1
(main)
+
1
(additional)
+
3
(for
pulsed
welding
mode)
2. The
machine
has
a
very
wide
range
of
pulsed
welding
mode
settings
for
all
types
of
welding.
3. In
addition
to
voltage
surge
protection,
the
machine
is
equipped
with
a
stabilization
system
for
large
long
‐
term
voltage
variations
in
the
160
V
to
260
V
supply
mains.
However,
it
must
be
kept
in
mind
that
minimum
voltage
of
160
V
allows
for
welding
with
an
electrode
not
more
than
Ф
3
mm
in
diameter
or
semiautomatic
welding
with
wire
up
to
Ф
0.8
in
diameter.
4.
The
machine
fits
standard
domestic
power
mains.
Due
to
high
efficiency
factor,
the
source
provides
twice
lower
power
consumption
compared
to
regular
sources.
5. Adaptive
fan
speed
–
i.e.
increases
when
the
machine
heats
up,
increases
even
more
during
the
machine
heat
‐
up,
and
slows
down
when
it
is
cold,
thus
prolonging
service
life
of
the
fan
and
reducing
amount
of
dust
accumulated
in
the
machine.
6. Convenient
use
due
to
high
load
duration
(LD)
at
rated
current
,
which
enables
virtually
uninterruptible
welding
with
eФ4
mm
electrodes
(for
PRO
‐
160),
Ф
5
mm
electrodes
(for
PRO
‐
200)
and
low
‐
melting
Ф
6
mm
electrodes
(for
PRO
‐
250).
For
example,
electrodes
А
NО
‐
4,
А
NО
‐
21,
А
NО
‐
36,
М
R
‐
3
can
be
used.
7. Increased
machine
reliability
in
dusty
production
environment,
microelectronic
circuitry
of
the
source
is
located
in
a
separate
compartment.
8.
All
heating
elements
of
the
source
are
provided
with
an
electronic
heat
protection
system.
9. All
electronic
parts
of
the
machine
are
impregnated
with
two
layers
of
high
‐
quality
varnish,
which
ensures
product
reliability
during
the
entire
service
life.
10.
Enhanced
arcing
stability.
