PORTABLE DC WELDERS HANDLE COMPLETE RANGE OF STICK AND TIG JOBS

With greater versatility and amperage range than anything else on the market in their price range, these DC welders handle a wide range of stick or TIG jobs at an incomparable value.

Thermal Arc® (St. Louis, MO) a world leader in arc welding technology, offers the most versatile line of equipment to date: the Portable DC Welder Series that includes the 95S, 161S, 161STL, and 201TS, providing from 95 amps to 200 amps of welding power that are suitable for several industries and applications, including:

• Home hobbyists
• Farm and ranch
• Educational institutions
• Maintenance and repair
• Light industrial
• Stainless steel & sanitary pipe fabrication
• Petro / chemical fabrication
• Shipboard installation and repair
• On-Site & portable welding application

Building upon the popularity of the 95S, Thermal Arc offers units with advanced operating features, more welding output power, and multi-voltage input power with the capability of hooking up to either 115 volt or 230 volt single-phase power outlets.

The 95S Portable DC Welder is perfect for beginners, do-it-yourselfers or home hobbyists, and makes it easy and affordable to produce high quality welds at home, in the garage, or in the field. As the only unit in its class with stick and lift TIG capabilities, the 95S is capable of delivering 95 amps of power on standard 115 volt circuits, and allows you to cover a wide range of light maintenance and repair jobs as well as some light fabrication.  The system is available in a stick welding package and a combination stick/TIG welding package. The inverter welding power source is extremely portable at only 10 lb.

The 161S Portable DC Welder is designed for basic DC stick and lift TIG welding operations, and provides a greater range of output for the advanced hobbyist or for light industrial projects. It is capable of delivering 110 amps on standard 115 volt circuits for stick and TIG welding. When used on 230 volt circuits, maximum output is 160 amps for either welding process. This welder features optimized hot start and arc-force circuits built into the power supply, delivering premium arc starting and arc control while stick welding. This feature can also prevent some welding electrodes from sticking. The 161S is available in a stick welding package and a combination stick/TIG welding package.

The 161STL Portable DC Welder is designed to provide increased control and superior arc performance for tackling more demanding DC stick and lift TIG welding jobs. It’s capable of delivering 110 amps on standard 115 volt circuits for stick welding, and 160 amps for TIG. When used on 230 volt circuits maximum output is 160 amps for either welding process.

The 161STL includes optimized hot start and user adjustable arc-force circuits, which deliver premium arc starting and arc control during stick welding, and can also prevent some welding electrodes from sticking. For improved control when DC lift TIG welding, the 161STL includes a trigger hold function (2T/4T), down slope timers, a gas solenoid for flow-through gas, and the ability to use torch switches or a foot control. The included TIG torch has an integrated amperage control dial and on/off switch that allows for the ultimate in welding control and simplicity.

The 201TS Portable DC Welder packs a serious punch and is ideal for tradesmen or welders with more experience. This heavy-duty unit is designed to provide increased control with superior arc performance for highly demanding DC stick and TIG welding jobs. Powerful yet compact, the 201TS can provide a maximum output of 200 amps for either welding process when used on 230 circuits.

“These units allow you a complete range of stick or TIG jobs at an incomparable value,” said Pete Anderson, the Thermadyne product manager for the Thermal Arc brand. “The Portable Welder Series have greater versatility and amperage range than anything else on the market in their price range.”

Thermal Arc®, a world leader in arc welding technology, provides a complete line of superior quality power supplies and accessories.  Their extensive array of welding power source products include stick (SMAW), TIG (GTAW), MIG (GMAW), multi-process, wire feeders, engine driven, and plasma welding systems.
