2.1 Working Principle 2.2 Volt-Ampere Characteristic MIG200/250 Series welders have an excellent volt-ampere The working principle of MIG200/250 welders is shown as characteristic, displayed in the following graph. The relation the following figure. between the conventional rated loading voltage U...
The letter “X” stands for duty cycle, which is defined as the The relation of the welding current and proportion of the time that a machine can work continuously duty cycle for MIG200 within a certain time (10 minutes). 100%...
3.4 Power supply input connection The MIG200/250 welding machines’ power supply connects to 220V. When the power supply voltage is over/under the safe work voltage, the over voltage or under voltage protection inside the welder will trigger, turning the alarm light on and cutting the current output off.
• The workpiece is connected to the positive electrode of the welding machine, with the welding torch connected to the negative electrode, called the DC positive connection. Otherwise, it’s called the DC Negative connection. Generally it is usually operated as a DC positive connection when TIG welding. •...
