The best compact MIG, now with more power. The TransSteel 3000 is a 3-in-1 solution, bringing together MMA, MIG /MAG and TIG in a single device. There is absolutely no difference in the welding performance of the respective process compared with a dedicated device. The intuitive operating concept enables welders to start work straight away – no prior knowledge of the device is required. All the essential welding parameters can be viewed and adjusted on the front panel. The only parameters that have to be selected before welding begins are the gas, wire diameter and material thickness. Why buy

Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing a three-phase MIG welder for workshop and production use.
In practice, very little. Older documents and some machine labels refer to 415v, while the current nominal figure for a UK three-phase supply is usually given as 400v. Machines are normally designed to work within a tolerance either side of their rated input, but the allowed range depends on the maker and the model.Check the data plate and the manual for the supply the machine accepts, compare that with the measured supply at your site, and ask a qualified electrician if you are unsure.
Yes, it needs a three-phase connection with the correct cable size and protection for the machine's input current, installed by a competent electrician. The manual states the recommended supply cable and fuse or breaker rating.Do not connect a machine to a circuit that has not been checked for the load. Poor supply causes tripping, overheating and unreliable welding.
Duty cycle is the proportion of a ten-minute period the machine can weld at a given current before it must cool. A higher duty cycle at your working current means fewer interruptions on long welds.If you weld continuously at high current, look at the rating at that current rather than the headline maximum.
A compact machine has the wire feeder built into the power source and is simpler and easier to move. A separate (split) system has an independent wire feeder connected by an interconnecting cable, which you can carry to the work, away from the power source.Separate feeders suit large fabrications and reaching big workpieces, and compact units suit general workshop use.
