WELD MODE DETAILS:
INVERTEC® V450-PRO
Mode Range Comments
Stick Soft 55 - 570 amps The stick soft mode is the best selection for general stick
applications.
Arc Control = Arc Force
Hot Start = Initial hot start current (min = start a match set amps, Max. =
greatest hot start current) During hot start, arc force is set at
high and is fast response.
For gouging applications: Turn current up to 570 amps.
Stick Crisp 55 - 570 amps The stick crisp mode features an aggressive arc force routine well suit-
ed for Exx10, Exx11 series electrodes.
Arc Control = Arc Force
Hot Start = Initial hot start current (Mid range = welding current and will
vary up and down with knob control.) During hot start, arc
force is set at high and is fast response.
For gouging applications: Turn current up to 570 amps.
GTAW (Tig mode) 5 - 570 amps The tig mode produces a soft, steady constant current waveform for
either touch start or high frequency assisted start DC GTAW applica-
tions.
Hot Start = Min to Mid range = Touch start with low OCV
Mid to Max range = High frequency assisted starting with adjustable
OCV up to 70 volts.
GMAW - CV 10 - 45 volts The GMAW - CV mode is the best selection for general MIG welding,
Metal core, and gas shielded applications.
Arc Control = Pinch (Min = min pinch, softest arc),
(Max = max pinch, crispest arc)
FCAW-SS 10 - 45 volts The FCAW-SS mode is designed for Self Shielded Innershield products
that require tight voltage control. For example; the NR 203 series or NR
207)
Arc Control = Pinch (Min = min pinch, softest arc),
(Max = max pinch, crispest arc, )
ADVANCED PULSE PANEL WELDING PROGRAMS
Gouging 60 - 570 amps The gouging mode is specifically designed for carbon arc gouging with
electrodes up to 3/8”.
GMAW - Power 0.1 - 20 KW The GMAW - power mode is similar in operation to other GMAW modes.
The power mode features a very stable short arc performance which is
especially good when welding small diameter (.025 and .030 steel and
stainless) wires for low procedures. The short arc steel and stainless
applications, a fast response for spray applications, and a drooper type
spray mode characteristic for Aluminum.
