Introduction 

 

The R-Tech POWER TIG 210EXT Digital is a member of our field acclaimed family of welding 

products. Premium features include:

 

1.  Inverter power source – more efficient to operate, provides smoother weld characteristics. 
2.  Full Featured Pulse welding in AC & DC Tig welding modes 
3.  HF Arc start – Easy arc striking and prolonged tungsten life 
4.  Slope up / slope down 
5.  Remote foot pedal option 
6.  Digital control panel with 9 memory store function. 

7. 

Industrial 60% Duty cycle at 210 Amps @ 40C

 

8. 

Easy setup mode for automatic setting of parameters. 

 

Recommended Processes 

 
The R-Tech POWER TIG 210EXT Digital is recommended for the Tig welding processes within its 
output capacity of 210 Amps 

 
Equipment Limitations  
 

The R-Tech POWER TIG 210EXT Digital is protected from overloads beyond the output ratings and 
duty cycle as per machine specifications with thermostat protection of the output coils and rectifiers. 
 
 

Welding Capability – Duty Cycle 
 

The R-Tech POWER TIG 210EXT Digital is rated at 210 Amps at 60% duty cycle on a ten minute 
basis. If the duty cycle is exceeded a thermal protector will shut machine off until the machine 
cools.
