Description
The Taurus MMA 160A Inverter Welder is a compact, high-performance power source engineered for professional manual metal arc (stick) welding. Utilizing advanced IGBT inverter technology, this machine delivers a smooth, stable DC arc that makes it ideal for maintenance, site work, and light industrial fabrication. Despite its portable, lightweight frame, the Taurus 160A packs enough power to handle a wide range of electrodes, providing deep penetration and a high-quality finish on carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloyed steels.
Key Features:
- IGBT Inverter Technology: Provides superior arc stability, energy efficiency, and a significant reduction in weight compared to traditional transformer welders.
- Digital Display: Features a clear, easy-to-read digital amperage meter for precise current adjustment, ensuring repeatable welding results.
- Start & Arc Force: Built-in “Hot Start” increases the current at the moment of ignition for easy arc striking, while “Arc Force” prevents the electrode from sticking to the workpiece during the weld.
- Thermal Overload Protection: Equipped with an internal cooling fan and automatic shut-off safety sensors to protect the machine from overheating during high-duty cycles.
- Ultra-Portable Design: Designed with a rugged carry handle and a compact footprint, making it the perfect tool for technicians moving between job sites.
- VRD (Voltage Reduction Device): Enhances operator safety by reducing the open-circuit voltage when the machine is not in use, a critical requirement for many South African industrial sites.
Technical Specifications:
- Input Voltage: 230V ± 10% (Single Phase).
- Amperage Range: 20A – 160A (Adjustable).
- Duty Cycle: 60% at 160A (at 40°C).
- Electrode Capacity: Suitable for 2.0mm, 2.5mm, and 3.2mm electrodes (including E6013 and E7018).
- Protection Class: IP21S.
- Included Accessories: Typically supplied with an Earth Clamp, Electrode Holder, and Welding Cables.
