250 amps of AC/DC TIG without bulky shop machines.
  • 250A TIG output on 240V handles aluminum fabrication and thick steel without stepping up to industrial machines.
  • 20–400Hz adjustable AC frequency tightens arc focus for cleaner aluminum edges and better puddle control.
  • AC Mix TIG blends AC cleaning with DC penetration for faster aluminum welds on thick sections.
  • Double Pulse TIG reduces heat input, controlling distortion while maintaining consistent bead appearance.
  • 48 lb inverter design moves easily between fabrication bays without dragging a heavy transformer welder.
DESCRIPTION

HTP Independence 251 Single Voltage AC/DC Air-Cooled
Product # 601835000L
