Summary

1.1  Brief Introduction

       TIG  V1841  V241  V341  AC/DC  welding  machine  adopts  the  latest  pulse  width 
modulation  (PWM)  technology  and  insulated  gate  bipolar  transistor  (IGBT)  power 
module,  which can  change  work  frequency  to medium frequency so as to replace the
traditional  hulking  work  frequency  transformer  with  the  cabinet  medium frequency 
 
consumption and etc.  
       The parameters of TIG V1841 V241 V341  AC/DC on the front panel all can be adjusted
continuously and steplessly, such as start current, crater arc current, welding current, base 
current,  duty  ratio, upslope time, downslope time, pre-gas, post-gas, pulse frequency, AC
frequency, balance, hot start, arc force etc. When welding, it takes high frequency and high
voltage for arc igniting to ensure the success ratio of igniting arc. 

TIG V1841 V 241 V341  AC/DC Characteristics:

◆

MCU control system, responds immediately to any changes.

◆

High frequency and high voltage for arc igniting to ensure the success ratio of 

    igniting arc, the reverse polarity ignition ensures good ignition behavior in TIG-AC 
   welding.

◆

Avoid AC arc-break with special means, even if arc-break occurs the HF will keep 

    the arc stable.

◆

Pedal control the welding current.

◆

In DC TIG without HFopertation, If the tungsten electrode touches the workpiece 

    when welding,  the current will drop to short-circuit current to protect tungsten.

◆

    occoured,  the alarm lamp on the front panel will be on and the output current will
    be cut off. It can self-protect and prolong the using life.  

◆

Double purposes: AC inverter TIG/MMA and DC inverter TIG/MMA, Excellent 

    performance on AL-alloy, carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium.

According to choosing the front panel functions, the following five welding 
ways can be realized.
DC MMA
DC TIG
DC Pulse TIG
AC TIG
AC Pulse TIG

CHAPTER 1

Intelligent protection: over-current, over-heat, when the mentioned problems

transformer. Thus, its  characterized  with  portable,  small  size,  light   weight,  low
