  • Page 4 Welding cables The welding cables should be kept as short as possible and should be positioned close together, running at or close to the floor level. Equipotential bonding Bonding of all metallic objects in the surrounding area should be considered. However, metallic objects bonded to the work piece will increase the risk that the operator could receive an electric shock by touching these metallic objects and the electrode at the same time.

    Net Weight(Kg) Brief Introduction Grand Tig 200 AC/DC Pulse PFC MV adopt the latest Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology and the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) power modules. It uses switching frequencies in the 20KHz-50KHz ranges so as to replace the traditional line-frequency transformer type welding machines.
  • Page 7 GRAND TIG 200 AC DC PULSE PFC MV Characteristics : MCU control system, responds immediately to any changes. High frequency and high voltage for arc igniting to ensure the success ratio of igniting arc, the reverse polarity ignition ensures good ignition behavior in TIG-AC welding.
  • Page 8: Duty Cycle And Over-Heat

    When operating the machine again, the welding output current or the duty cycle should be reduced. Relation of welding current and duty cycle for GRAND TIG 200 AC DC PFC MV Working Principle The working principle of TIG series of welding machines is shown as the following figure.
  • Page 9: Volt-Ampere Characteristic

    Volt- Ampere Characteristic TIG series of welding machines has excellent volt-ampere characteristic. Referring to the following graph. In TIG welding, the relation between the rated loading voltage U2 and welding current I2 is as follows: When I2≤600A, U2=10+0.04 I2 ( V) ; When I2>600A, U2=34 ( V) . (V)...

  • Page 11 Further Controls Explained LH Digital Multifunction Display (9) Before welding this displays the setting selected or being adjusted using the control knob (24). During welding it displays welding current. The parameter setting displayed is indicated by the LEDs beside the display; Current (A), Saved Setting (JOB), Time (S), Percentage (%) and Frequency (Hz).
  • Page 12 Arc Force (21) An MMA welding power source is designed to produce constant output current (CC). This means with different types of electrode and arc length; the welding voltage varies to keep the current constant. This can cause instability in some welding conditions as MMA welding electrodes will have a minimum voltage they can operate with and still have a stable arc.

This purges the work area of atmospheric gas which could contaminate the weld before the weld starts. Unit(S) and setting range (0.1-2S). Start current setting indicator (2) Available in 4T trigger mode, sets a welding current 10-100% of the main welding current activated when the trigger is held on to ‘latch’...

  • Page 15 TIG HF/ Lift Ignition Modes (31,32) For TIG welding process, contact of the torch tungsten to the workpiece will cause contamination of the tungsten and the workpiece that will adversely affect the weld quality, especially when the tungsten is electrically energised. HF Ignition (High Frequency) sends a pulse of high energy electricity through the torch system that is capable of ‘jumping’...
  • Page 16: Power Supply Input Connection

    Water Cooling The welding machine is supplied standard with water cooled TIG torch. The correct coolant to use is a mixture of Mono Propylene Glycol and water in a 1:3 ratio (25% propylene glycol). Pure water may be used as a coolant liquid, though it is not recommended for the long term reliability of the water cooling system as it does not have the lubrication properties of glycol and does not provide protection against freezing.
