Everlast 280 Amp Stick/TIG Welder IGBT Inverter DC w/ High Frequency and Lift TIG Start, 240-Volt

The Power ARC 280STH is the most advanced Stick welder that Everlast has ever offered. It is a fully digital DC Stick/TIG machine with TIG pulse capability (up to 250Hz). It features excellent stick arc performance with cellulose, iron powder, and low hydrogen welding rods. This means that the unit easily handles E6010, E 6011, E6013, E7014, E7018, and even stainless 309L or 316L electrodes thanks to the adjustable hot start and arc force controls. A VRD function lowers OCV (Open Circuit Voltage) when the unit is being used in stick mode on jobsites that require it a VRD be fitted for safety or in any environment where electrocution of the user while welding is possible. The unit also features full TIG capabilities for welding Steel, Chrome Moly, Stainless, and Titanium and about any weldable metal except Aluminum and Magnesium. 2T/4T TIG controls allows the user the option of using the unit with or without a foot pedal in TIG mode. It also features HF start TIG, and lift start TIG so the user has the ability to work in HF sensitive environments. A built in gas solenoid, with adjustable pre and post gas flow controls allow the unit to automatically control gas flow without the use of a manual gas valve located on the torch. With up to 250 Amp Stick, and 280 Amp of TIG welding power, the Power ARC 280STH is designed to function equally well with both Stick and TIG processes. It clearly belongs in the Power ARC line as it is a perfect fit for pipelines, fab shops, etc

280 Amp in DC TIG mode/250 Amp in stick mode
• VRD function for reduced OCV in stick mode improves safety and operator protection
• Full 2T/4T control parameters in TIG mode, including up and down slope, start and end amps
• Setting for cellulosic/E6010/E6011 welding results in optimized stick performance
• Hot start time adjustment in stick mode improves arc starting characteristics
• Hot start intensity adjustment in stick mode reduces sticking upon striking an arc in stick mod
• Arc force control improves short arc performance in stick mode
• Pulse TIG function allows operation up to 250 pulses per second (Hz)
• IGBT inverter features Infineon IGBT modules for improved reliability and ease of service
