• Stick Welding Cable Kit 058066079
Portable with adjustable shoulder strap. Easy to transport at
under 6.2 kg (13.7 lb.).
Dual fan technology. An optimised power source cooling system
which enables the machine to operate at a lower temperature,
thus increasing its performance and life cycle.
Thermal overload protection with indicator light helps prevent
machine damage if the duty cycle is exceeded or airflow is blocked.
VRD function is a simple design that reduces the open-circuit
voltage to 20 volts when the welding power source is not in use.
Best-in-class stick arc characteristics for those demanding jobs.
Si 160 shown.
Preset Hot Start™ for stick arc starts automatically increases the
output amperage at the start of a weld should the start require it.
Prevents the electrode from sticking and creating an inclusion.
Innovative PFC (power factor control) allows taking full advantage
of the available input amps resulting in the required welding current
without power leakage (Si 160 PFC model).
*VRD sense voltage for stick.
