Ideal Tecno ARC 211 IGBT MMA/TIG VRD is an inverter welder for coated-electrode (MMA) welding and TIG welding on direct current (DC), with contact arc ignition. You can use rutile, basic, stainless steel and cast iron electrodes. It runs on a single-phase 230 V supply, and you set the current steplessly in the 10 to 200 A range. It has a digital display and a VRD function.

Features
MMA and TIG DC
The main process is MMA with a coated electrode on direct current. TIG welding also runs on direct current, and you strike the arc by contact, touching the workpiece with the electrode. Control is electronic, and you set the current steplessly.
Digital display
The clear digital display makes it easier to set the current precisely. You read the value from the screen, not from a knob scale.
VRD
VRD (Voltage Reduction Device) lowers the open-circuit voltage on the electrode to a safe level. It protects you against electric shock when you work in damp surroundings.
ARC FORCE, HOT START and ANTI STICK
ARC FORCE adjusts the short-circuit current. It helps molten droplets pass from the electrode into the workpiece and keeps the arc from going out when a droplet touches the weld pool. HOT START gives a higher current at each ignition, so the electrode strikes more easily. ANTI STICK switches off the voltage when the electrode sticks to the workpiece, so you can pull it free easily and no accidental arc forms.
Construction
A fan cools the inside, and a protection circuit guards the machine against overload. Its small size and 4.4 kg weight make it easy to carry, so you can take the welder from the workshop to jobs on site.
