Lincoln Electric IM585 INVERTEC V-130-S - Manual (Page 12)

B-1 OPERATION
INVERTEC® V100-S & V130-S
B-1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Invertec V100-S is a light industrial 100 amp arc
welding power source and the V130-S is a light indus-
trial 130 amp arc welding power source both of which
utilize single phase input power, to produce constant
current output. The welding response of these
Invertecs has been optimized for stick (SMAW) and
TIG (GTAW). Both units are perfect for light industrial
applications where portability is important.
OPERATIONAL FEATURES
The Invertecs provide continuous total range output
current adjustment. Additionally, a “hot start” system
has been built into the welding current control, and
provides a higher striking current to assist ignition of
the arc.
WELDING CAPABILITY
The Invertec V100-S is rated at 100 amps, 15% duty
cycle (based on a 10 minute cycle). It is also rated at
85 amps, 20% duty cycle, and 70 amps, 20% duty
cycle. The Invertec V130-S is rated at 130 amps, 20%
duty cycle (based on a 10 minute cycle). It is also
rated at 105 amps, 60% duty cycle, and 90 amps,
100% duty cycle.
LIMITATIONS
The V100-S and V130-S are not recommended for
pipe thawing.
The V100-S and V130-S should not be powered from
the auxiliary power supply of an engine welder.
Special protection circuits may operate causing loss of
output.
Read and understand this entire section before
operating your machine.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
