The Invertec V160-T is an industrial 160 amp arc
welding power source which utilizes single phase
input power, to produce constant current output. The
welding response of this Invertec has been optimized
for stick (SMAW) and TIG (GTAW). The unit is ideal
for industrial applications where portability is impor-
tant.
The Invertec V160-T performs DC TIG with high fre-
quency or Touch Start Tig Starting with excellent
results.

The Invertec V160-T is rated at 160 amps, 26.4 volts,
at 35% duty cycle on a ten minute basis. It is capable
of higher duty cycles at lower output currents. It is
capable of 130 amps, 25.2 volts at 100% duty cycle
(1)
.
If the duty cycle is exceeded, a thermal protector will
shut off the output until the machine cools. See
Technical Specifications in A-1 for other rated outputs.
The Invertec V160-T is recommended for stick weld-
ing with such popular electrodes as Fleetweld
®
35,
Fleetweld 37, Fleetweld 180 and Jet-LH 78 MR.
