GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Square Wave TIG 175 is a constant current, single
range AC/DC TIG (GTAW) arc welding power source
with built-in arc starter / stabilizer. It also has stick
welding (SMAW) capability.
The Square Wave TIG 175 is recommended for the
TIG (GTAW) and stick (SMAW) welding processes
within its output capacity of 12 to 175 amps, on both
AC and DC polarity.
INCLUDED EQUIPMENT
For GTAW (TIG Welding):
• TIG torch, factory assembled with:
• 12.5 ft (3.8m) one-piece cable
• 3/32” Collet body
• 3/32” Collet
• Short backcap
Not assembled:
• 3/32” x 7” 2% Thoriated Tungsten Electrode
• Long backcap
• 1/2” Diameter Alumina gas cup
• Foot Amptrol tm remote current control with 15ft
(4.6m) cable
For SMAW (Stick Welding):
• Electrode holder with cable and quick connect plug
For Installation and startup:
• Work Cable and Clamp
WELDING CAPABILITY
The Square Wave TIG 175 is rated at 150 amps, 15
volts, at 25% duty cycle on a ten minute basis. It is
capable of higher duty cycles at lower output currents.
It is capable of 175 amps, 27 volts at a lower duty
cycle. If the duty cycle is exceeded, a thermal protec-
tor will shut off the output until the machine cools.

formed under electrically hazardous condi-
tions such as welding in wet areas or on or
in the workpiece.
