The Tornado ARC 238 LCD is a robust and durable power source for the professional welder. The machine provides state-of-the-art welding performance and reliability through use of the latest high performance power electronics and LCD control; ensuring a precise consistent arc.

The Tornado ARC 238 LCD can easily perform TIG-welding using a “Lift TIG” start. Equip the power source with the optional TIG-Torch, which has a built-in gas valve and a regulator, and a bottle of gas and you are ready to weld mild steel or stainless steel, with or without filler material.

The Tornado provides smooth DC welding power which allows you to weld a variety metals, such as alloyed and non alloyed steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. The Arc Force and Hot Start setting are adjustable and help the user find exactly the right arc for the job. Being LCD the Micro-processor precisely controls all functions and provides Best-in Class welding performance across the amperage range of the machine. The Tornado can be used with electrodes up to 4.0mm Ø.

Features

• Easy to Use set the welding current and weld with excellent result.

• Generator Compliant suitable for use with generators (recommended 7kW)

• Practical Design makes the power source easy to carry which enable use at almost any work site.

• Superior Arc Characteristics Smooth, Stable performance.

• Robust Design IP23S Designed for Fabrication Shop or Site application.

• Automatic Hot Start to improve the arc striking with the most difficult electrodes.

• Adjustable ARC FORCE to choose the best are dynamic characteristics.

• VRD is short for Voltage Reduction Device. VRD reduces the welding power source’s open circuit voltage (OCV) to a safe value until welding commences. OCV is the voltage measured across the terminals when not welding.

Processes

• DC STICK (SMAW)

• DC Lift-Arc TIG (GTAW)
