Upside Down About Welders
Today's inverter-based TIG welders are literally turning the world of TIG welding upside down. HTP's new Invertig 201 AC/DC TIG welder delivers 200 amps of welding power while only using 25 amps, which is a far cry from older transformer-based TIG machines. The HTP Invertig 201 allows users to vary the AC frequency from 20-200 Hz, while maintaining a square wave throughout the complete range, providing more control over the arc. Inverter technology provides a smooth, stable arc, making intricate welds on mild steel, chrome-moly, and stainless steel unusually easy. For more information on the Invertig 201 AC/DC welder or to receive HTP's free catalog, contact HTP America, Inc. at 800-USA-WELD, or at www.usaweld.com.
