Telwin Technology 186 XT MPGE 160A MMA & TIG DC Inverter Welding Machine 230V with Aluminium Case - TEL-816250

The Telwin Technology 186 XT MPGE MMA & TIG DC Inverter Welding Machine with Aluminium Case (TEL-816250) is a compact and capable 230V single-phase DC inverter welder supporting both MMA stick welding and TIG scratch-start arc ignition with an adjustable current range of 5–160A. Rated at 160A at 35% duty cycle and 120A at 60% duty cycle, it features the MPGE Multi Protection for Generator system for reliable operation with compatible generators from 7kW with ±15% voltage variation tolerance. With Arc Force, Hot Start, Anti-Stick, 90% efficiency, 50mm quick connectors, and an IP23 protection rating, it is supplied in a robust aluminium carry case for professional portability.

Key Features:

• MMA & TIG Scratch-Start Dual Process — Supports both MMA stick welding and TIG scratch-start ignition for versatility across fabrication, construction, and maintenance welding tasks.
• 5–160A Adjustable Welding Current — Wide current range for precise control from thin sheet metal through to structural components with electrodes from 1.6mm to 4mm.
• MPGE Multi Protection for Generator — Generator protection system ensures reliable, safe operation with compatible generators from 7kW with ±15% voltage variation tolerance.
• 90% Efficiency — Exceptional inverter efficiency minimises energy consumption in workshop and site environments.
• 50mm Quick Connectors — Standard 50mm quick-connect cable connectors for fast, secure welding cable attachment.
• Arc Force Control — Automatically adjusts current to maintain a stable arc and prevent electrode sticking.
• Hot Start Function — Momentary current boost on arc ignition for easier, more reliable electrode striking.
• Anti-Stick Function — Reduces output current if the electrode sticks, protecting the electrode and workpiece.
• Supplied with Aluminium Case — Robust aluminium carry case for professional transport and storage protection.
• IP23 Protection Rating — Suitable for indoor and outdoor sheltered welding environments.
