Introduction
The R-Tech INV160 is a member of our field acclaimed family of welding products.
Premium features include:-
1. Inverter power source – more efficient to operate, provides smoother weld
characteristics than traditional welders
2. Infinite welding voltage to allow fine tuning of weld characteristics
3. Adjustable arc force – controls splatter – ideal for automotive work
4. Digital amp & volt meters
5. Euro type torch fittings for easy torch fitment/replacement
6. 30% Duty cycle at 160 Amps @ 40C
7. 60% Duty cycle at 115 Amps @ 40C
8. Lightweight and portable – Ideal for maintenance and mobile welders
Recommended Processes
The R-Tech INV160 is recommended for the MIG welding processes within its output capacity
of 160 Amps DC
Equipment Limitations
The R-Tech INV160 is protected from overloads beyond the output ratings and duty cycle as
per machine specifications with thermostat protection of the output coils and rectifiers.
Welding Capability – Duty Cycle
The R-Tech INV160 is rated at 160 Amps at 30% and 115 Amps @ 60% duty cycle on a ten
minute basis. If the duty cycle is exceeded a thermal protector will shut machine off until the
machine cools.
