    Elettro C.F. s.r.l. 2 - DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM 2.1 - Introduction. The TIG 2015 AC/DC-HF INVERTER is a system for MMA and TIG welding, with both contact and high frequency arc ignition. It consists of an electronic power source (art. 168), and a series of accessories to adapt it to different types of use.
  • Page 5 Elettro C.F. s.r.l. power board (14) which generates high-voltage pulses at high frequency for the transformer (33). The fan (7), for cooling the power elements of the power source, is controlled by the microprocessor of the power board (14). Its operation depends on the selected welding mode: If the machine is on in MMA mode or it switches to MMA mode, the fan is always on.
