Equally suitable for both the welding enthusiast and the professional in need of a well-equipped AC/DC TIG welder, the Everlast PowerTIG 250EX is a versatile solution. This unit is a true performer, putting out 250 amps of TIG welding power on single phase 240V, with a 60% duty cycle while doing so. Feature for feature though, it delivers as well. The unit is equipped with features like fully adjustable pulse, AC frequency, AC balance control, stick function with arc force control, and 2T/4T remote control functions. It even includes a spot weld timer for those needing to make routine, perfectly timed spot welds on sheet metal. The IGBT inverter module reduces size and weight of the unit and keeps it portable. For those needing to weld thin gauge material, the unit features low amp start capability in both AC and DC modes, down to 5 amps. The PowerTIG 250EX has built a name for itself in the industry as a capable and economical welder and the latest generation continues that legacy.

Notes
For generator use: Use only generators that are certified as "clean power" by the manufacturer. This means that the unit has less than 5% THD (total harmonic distortion)
If you require 3 phase on this unit - It MUST be noted at the point of sale.
