Usage
The GYSMI 160P Inverter 160A welding station is designed for manual metal arc (MMA) welding of steel, stainless steel, and cast iron using electrodes from Ø1.6 mm to Ø4 mm, making it suitable for maintenance, fabrication, and repair tasks both on-site and in workshops.
Advantages
- Advanced inverter technology with microprocessor control ensures stable arc performance and efficient energy use.
- Lightweight (4.2 kg) and compact design supports easy transport and portability.
- Ready-to-weld set includes earth cable, electrode holder, and an LCD welding helmet for immediate use.
- User-friendly features: Hot Start for easier ignition, Anti-Sticking to prevent electrode sticking, Arc Force for consistent current during challenging welds.
- Tolerates voltage fluctuations (+/-15%) and is protected when used with compatible generator sets; minor drawback—limited to maximum electrodes of Ø4 mm.
Specifications
- The unit employs inverter technology piloted by a microprocessor; casing rated at IP23S protection class.
- Complies with EN60974-1 standards; designed to withstand supply voltage variations (+/-15%) when powered by generators or mains electricity.
- Welding current adjustable from 10 A to 160 A; duty cycle: up to 85 A at a typical duration or max output of up to 14% at full power (160A); open circuit voltage: approx.72V; operates on single-phase AC230V/16A supply.
- Carries advanced arc dynamic control features—Hot Start, Anti-Sticking function—which differentiate it in its class for smoother starts and reduced risks during operation. Includes a Techno11 LCD helmet as standard bundle equipment.
How it works
The GYSMI 160P uses microprocessor-controlled inverter technology to convert mains power into precise direct current modulation. The operator selects the desired amperage based on the electrode size. Features like Hot Start facilitate striking the arc while built-in protections ensure consistent weld quality even if input voltage fluctuates or when connected via generator supplies.
