The EW Invertec®V155-S offers much more than you would expect from a welder this size. Weighing
in at just under 15 lbs. (6.8 kg) the Invertec®V155-S is no lightweight contender. It packs the full
punch of a heavyweight professional that you can take to the most demanding job sites. With
120/230V auto reconnect operation, the Invertec®V155-S can operate from a portable generator.
It can also plug into a 200 foot (61 m) 230V extension cord so you can weld just about anywhere.
The tough dent resistant case is IP23 rated for outdoor use.
Backed by a 3-Year Lincoln warranty, this tough reliable welder is packed with
innovative unique features like built-in Hot-Start™, Auto Adaptive Arc Force™,
stick soft, stick crisp and Touch Start TIG®DC modes. The Invertec®V155-S
is available in two models: a base unit with stick accessories or a complete
Stick/TIG ready to weld package in an Easy-Store/Easy-Carry Suitcase.

Touch Start TIG®Mode
Machine has a low open circuit voltage in TIG
mode to reduce tungsten contamination. imply
touch the tungsten to the work piece and lift off.
The machine will instantly ramp up the voltage
and current to establish the arc without the use
of high frequency.
Two Stick Modes
Soft Mode
Provides a lower arc force level to de-
liver a smooth arc with reduced spatter.
It provides a clean flat fillet weld with
excellent wetting and bead appearance.
For stain ess e ectrodes such as Red
Baron®308L (E308L-16), ruti e e ec-
trodes such as F eetwe d®37 (E6013),
and ow hydrogen e ectrodes such as
Exca ibur®7018 MR.
Crisp Mode
Provides a more dynamic arc charac-
teristic for welding in all positions.
For ce u osic e ectrodes such as
F eetwe d®35 (E6011).

Invertec®V155-S –– Auto Adaptive Arc Force™
Auto Adaptive Arc Force™continuously measures the
arc voltage to adapt the optimum value of Arc Force.
This optimizes the arc stability without the risk of
electrode sticking and minimizes spatter.
Competition –– Standard Arc Force
With tandard Arc Force, the peak welding current that
prevents the electrode from sticking in the weld pool is
pre-set. The fixed peak may react aggressively, caus-
ing spatter and an unstable arc.
