GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The INVERTER ARC™ 120 is a 90 amp arc welding
power source which utilizes single phase input power
to produce constant current output. The welding
response of this Inverter has been optimized for stick
(SMAW) welding.

OPERATION

WELDING CAPABILITY

The INVERTER ARC™ 120 is rated at 70 amps, 22.8
volts, at 20% duty cycle on a ten minute basis. It is
capable of higher duty cycles at lower output currents.
If the duty cycle is exceeded, a thermal protector will
shut off the output until the machine cools. See Table
A.1 in the INSTALLATION Section for other rated out-
puts.
The INVERTER ARC™ 120 is recommended for the
following Electrode Types and Diameters:
