The PATON ProTIG 200 digital inverter welder is optimised for TIG (HF) inert gas shielded arc welding and direct current manual metal arc welding (MMA). The best solution for direct and alternating current welding of a wide range of materials: aluminium, aluminium alloys (TIG AC mode), parts and materials of steel, non-ferrous metals and copper alloys (TIG DC mode). The PATON ProTIG 200 inverter welder offers excellent contactless ignition, a stable, constant electric arc, high-quality welds, and ease of use. The device has a protection module against under- and over-voltage. By increasing the frequency of the input voltage supplied to the transformer, which is several times smaller, the device has dimensions and weight that are several times lower, with the same output parameters, compared to other devices with similar characteristics. The ProTIG 200 features a 45% duty cycle and a 2-year warranty.

Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing and using single phase TIG welders.
DC machines weld steel, stainless steel, copper and other metals except aluminium. AC/DC machines add alternating current, which breaks up the oxide layer on aluminium and magnesium, so they are needed for those metals.If you will weld aluminium at all, choose AC/DC. If you only weld steel, stainless and similar metals, DC is simpler and more economical. AC/DC machines normally also offer controls for balance and frequency, to fine-tune the arc.
Think about the thickest material you will weld and the process, and choose a rating with some margin. Aluminium needs considerably more current than steel for the same thickness, and heavier sections need more again.Also consider duty cycle, which describes how much of each ten minute period the machine can weld at a given current. A machine rated well above your usual working current runs cooler, lasts longer and is more pleasant to use.
A multi-voltage machine adapts to different supplies, for example running on both 110 and 230 volts, and sometimes wider ranges. This suits people who move between site and workshop or use different supplies.The output you get depends on the supply connected, with less at lower voltages. Check the specification at each voltage, and make sure the plug, cable and protection match the supply you connect to.
Pulse TIG alternates between a higher peak current and a lower background current many times a second. This gives better heat control on thin material, reduces distortion and burn-through, and helps on out-of-position welds and where you want a consistent bead appearance.It is not necessary for every job, but it is valuable for thin stainless, tube and precision work. Check that the pulse settings, range and frequency suit what you intend to weld.
