A welding inverter is one of the possible power sources for a welding electric arc. Welding inverters have a large number of advantages compared to models that are powered from traditional sources. Consequently, it is quite fair that they are widely distributed in industrial enterprises and in everyday life. They have relatively small values of mass-dimensional indicators, which makes it possible to transfer the welding inverter with your own hands and forces. This machine produces high-quality welding of various materials, which only contributes to its popularization.
The welding inverter has a low weight, 5 - 10 kg, due to the lack of a bulky welding transformer. In addition, there are no losses on magnetization reversal of iron, as well as heating of the windings. Due to this, the welding inverter has a high efficiency value. Another advantage of this device is reduced energy consumption - only 4 kW, while analog units consume up to 10 kW of electricity. However, the welding inverter also has other equally important advantages, such as:
- No spatter phenomenon.
- Small deviations of current values from nominal values.
- Large welding current control range.
- Soft and stable electric arc.
- Immunity to interference and vibrations.
In addition, the welding inverter has some features:
1. There is a special protection that prevents the "sticking" of the electrode to the welded parts. When the unit is turned on, an additional current pulse is generated, in the event of which protective systems disconnect the short circuit current. Therefore, the electrode does not have time to stick.
2. The relatively low cost, which makes the welding inverter affordable for a wide audience of customers. The modern market for welding machines offers a wide range, among which everyone can find the equipment he needs.
3. A wide range of features and capabilities. Each welding inverter is equipped with a high-frequency generator, which greatly expands the functional range of this unit. Thanks to this, it becomes possible to use almost any kind of welding, as well as plasma cutting of metals.
4. The welding inverter has a high rate of ease of operation and regulation. There is no need to wait a while - just purchase a device of this type to start working with it. Most modern inverters have devices for continuously controlling the value of the welding current. In addition, on many models there is the possibility of remembering the modes used. Thanks to this important function, work productivity is significantly increased, and also reduces the time of order execution. This allows you to execute more orders in less time, which increases your income and the income of the entire enterprise.
