1.1 INTRODUCTION
Cruiser150TPisanadvancedinverterpowersourcecharacterizedbyarobustandreliableindustrial
construction.
ItisrecommendedforMMAweldingandTIGDCapplicationsprovidingexcellentarccharacteristics.
Cruiser150TPisidealforoperationsonsitelikebasicmaintenanceandbuildingconstruction.
Abuilt-inTotalProtectionDevicesavestheinvertercomponentsfromovervoltageandmakestheunit
suitableforusewithunstablepowersupplyandmotor-generators.
FactoryoptimizedHotStart,ArcForceandAntiStickingallowaneasyandexcellentqualitywelding
usingelectrodesupto3.25mmdiameter.
InTIGDC,Pulseselectionisincluded,makingCruiser150TPuniqueinitsrange.
LiftStartfunctionguaranteesarcignitionwithoutdamagingthetungstenelectrode.
