INTRODUCTION INSTALLATION….cont The Weldmate Mutli P185 is made with advanced inverter technology. Assembly The inverter works by converting the mains supply at 50Hz to a high frequency voltage at 100KHz, this voltage is then controlled by a PWM system before passing to the transform- 1.Remove all parts from box.

INTRODUCTION….cont INTRODUCTION….cont TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS TIG Welding is similar in principle to MMA. An arc is created between the electrode which is made from a very durable material called Tungsten and the work piece, Model 05279 causing a portion of the metal work piece to melt forming a molten pool of metal, the area is shielded by argon gas.
