GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The INVERTEC® V155-S is an industrial 155 amp arc
welding power source which utilizes single phase input
power, to produce constant current output. The welding
response of this Invertec has been optimized for stick
(SMAW) and Touch Start TIG (GTAW). The unit is ideal
for industrial applications where portability is important.
The INVERTEC® V155-S is recommended for stick
welding with such popular electrodes as Fleetweld 35,
Fleetweld 37, Fleetweld 180 and LH 78. It features
automatic arc control to adjust the arc force, hot start
and anti sticking. The machine also features soft and
crisp modes.
The INVERTEC® V155-S performs DC Touch Start Tig
Starting with excellent results.

capable of higher duty cycles at lower output cur-
rents
(1)
. If the duty cycle is exceeded, a thermal protec-
tor will shut off the output until the machine cools. See
Technical Specifications in the Installation Section for
other rated outputs.
