MIG 280 DP Version: 00.01 In the MMA welding mode (mode 1), between 0 and 200 amps can be selected, providing an initial overcurrent, facilitating the priming of the electric arc, and making easier to start the weld. Inductance: Selectable between 1 and 10 within all MIG/MAG modes (welding modes 2, 3 and 4) via R1.

MIG 280 DP Version: 00.01 Configurable parameter in all MIG welding modes (modes 2, 3, and 4). Burn back "V": It is the "backburning" voltage present at the output when giving the order to finish the welding. This voltage is present during the selected burn back time, causing the wire not to stick to the contact tip.
