2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
COMPACT series of welding machines 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. Thus, machines are characterized with portability, small size,
lightweight, low energy consumption and noise, etc.
COMPACT series of welding machines has excellent performance: constant current output makes welding arc more stable;
fast dynamic response speed reduces the impact from the arc length fluctuation to the current; accurate stepless current
adjustment and pre-setting function. There are also some automatic protection functions for under voltage, over current, over
heat, etc. inside the welder, when the problems listed before occurred, the alarm light on the front panel is on and at the
same time the output current will be cut off. It can self-protect, prolong the usefull life, greatly improved the reliability and
practicality of the welding machine.
The ELITE COMPACT 160 - SI6160MDV has been designed to offer the best performance in direct current (DC) welding.
Exceptional arc characteristics, allowing welding 7018, 6010, 6011, 6013 and all kinds of electrodes.
Characteristics:
• High-tech IGBT Inverter electronic design.
• Input voltage 110/220V - 1Ph
• 45% Duty cycle at 40°C * .
• Can weld up to 5/32" on stick electrodes
• 160A to 220V, 100A to 110V, real power.
• 10/25 quick connectors.
Tecnologies:
Makes it easier to start the arc.
HOT STaRT
Considerably increases the stability of
the arc.
aRc FoRcE
Automatically deactivates the output
power when the electrode sticks,
facilitating the detachment of the
electrode from the base material and
anti sticK
extending the life of the machine.
*Duty cycle
Duty cycle is the percentage of time that the welding machine can deliver current to weld continuously, in a period of 10
minutes. On the Elite COMPACT 160 this value is 45% when the output current is maximum of its amperage and maximum
ambient temperature is 40°C. This percentage increases as the set output current decreases and / or the ambient
temperature decreases.
Duty cycle may decrease if ambient temperature rises above 40°C.
This means that the machine is able to deliver its maximum output continuously for 4 and a half minutes, and after this
