3.1

Applications

3.1.1

MMA welding

Manual arc welding or, for short, MMA welding. It is characterised by the fact that the arc burns between
a melting electrode and the molten pool. There is no external protection; any protection against the
atmosphere comes from the electrode.
3.1.2

TIG (Liftarc) welding

TIG welding process with arc ignition by means of workpiece contact.
3.2

Machine variants

3.2.1

Multi-voltage machine (MV)

MV series machines are equipped with an automatic adaptation feature, e.g. for national mains voltages
(for supported mains voltages, refer to the "Technical data" chapter).
3.2.2

Voltage reducing device (VRD)

To increase safety, particularly in hazardous environments (like shipbuilding, pipe construction or mining),
the machine is equipped with the VRD (Voltage-reducing device) .
The VRD signal light is illuminated, when the voltage reducing device is operating without fault and the
output voltage is reduced to a value specified in the relevant standard (see technical data).
