1.2 product introduction

Minarc Evo is an easy-to-use welding machine for MMA (stick welding). It is suitable for

professional use in metal industry, work sites and repair welding. Before use or doing any

maintenance work on the machine, read the operating manual and keep it for further

reference.
Models equipped with a voltage reduction device (Minarc Evo 150VRD, 150AU and 140AU) are

available for maintaining the open-circuit voltage at 30 volts. There are also special models

equipped with mains plug types suitable for Australia, New Zealand and Denmark. If you need

another type of plug, please see the section 2.6 "Connecting cable connections" later in this

manual.
Minarc Evo tolerates fluctuations in input voltage, and it is suitable for on-site work using

power generators and long power cables. The power source utilises PFC technology to ensure

optimum usage on a single phase power supplies. IGBT inverter design delivers reliable arc

ignition and welding performance with all electrode types.
Welding and earth return cables are supplied in the delivery package, including electrode

holder, earth clamps and connections.
Minarc Evo can also be used for basic TIG welding, where the TIG arc is started by the lift arc

ignition technique. Order numbers for the additional equipment required for TIG welding and

for the remote current control devices can be found in section 5 "Ordering numbers".
