1. TECHNICAL INFORMATION
1.1 GENERAL EXPLANATIONS
Monostick 160i is an inverter type portable, mono-phase DC MMA welding machine designed to weld stick
electrodes up to 4 mm. This unit can also be used as a DC TIG power source for touch-start applications.
Even though the machine is mono-phase, due to the inverter technology it provides stable arc and good re-
striking performance, also the electric consumption is approximately 10% less than the silicon controlled
rectifier equipments and 25% less than the magnetically controlled equipments.
Monostick 160i proved well that it can work between 160 to 240 V 50/60 Hz line voltages. Therefore this
machine is quite immune to mains voltage fluctuations and perfectly welds with generator-sets.
Monostick 160i can also be used with long welding cables up to 25 mt.
The machine is fan cooled and thermally protected against over heating.
