Important Information
Before using the RT2000 Inverter based welding
machine, all personnel authorised to use, repair or
service it should read this manual carefully,
especially the section on safety.
Further information is available in publication
HSG118 'Electric safety in arc welding', which
may be obtained from the Health & Safety
Executive.
Please contact your distributor should you not
understand any of the information within this
document.
1.1
Description
The RT2000 is a
200 amp (150 amp on MMA)
constant current TIG welding machine based on
IGBT
technology. The inverter drive circuitry
operates above the audio frequency spectrum
making the RT2000 virtually silent in operation.
The high operational frequency also means that the
RT2000 is able to respond quickly to changing arc
dynamics, making for a very smooth stable arc.
As well as TIG welding the RT2000 is capable of
MMA welding with all types of electrodes within the
current rating of the machine, normally up to 4mm.
The RT2000 is available in two versions, a 230v
only, and a 115/230v auto switching Dual Voltage
version.

Latest generation IGBT technology.
TheRT2000 uses the latest generation IGBT power
modules, these have lower running losses thereby
increasing the duty cycle of the machine and
increasing reliability.
Initial soft-start operation.
The output power is inhibited until the reservoir
capacitors have charged up to full value. This
reduces the stress on the internal components at
the crucial switch on period.
Powerful electronic arc ignition
The advanced arc ignition system contains no
moving parts or spark gap providing long term
reliability even in humid conditions.
This Product meets the conformity
requirements for CE marking
