ESAB’s Heliarc 252 and Heliarc 352 are constant currentAC/DC welding Power Sources for high quality TIG andMMA welding. They are suitable for welding a wide varietyof metals from stainless steel, mild steel and aluminiumto exotic and unusual metals.
The unique characteristics of the magnetic and solid state circuitsprovide excellent arc conditions for all TIG welding as well ashigh alloy stick electrodes.
The non-saturating current limiting reactor and electronicfeedback control prohibits high current surges therefore reducingspatter on stick electrodes as well as tungsten spitting whenTIG welding.
The electronic firing circuit uses a voltage regulating circuit whichcompensates for line voltage variations of +/-10%.
√ Square wave AC output gives superior welding withimproved cleaning and lack of rectification
√ AC wave balance control - allows adjustment frommaximum cleaning to maximum penetration
√ Arc force control - fine tunes arc for stick welding from softto a high penetration, digging arc
√ 100% solid state design with no mechanical contactoreliminates output drift, lowers maintenance and promoteslong life
√ Direct connections for TIG Torch and twist lock outputcable for maximum convenience
√ Adjustable pre and post flow gas control - protects weldarea and extends tungsten life
√ 1.8m gas hose and water inlet and outlet fittings arefactory installed
√ Protected against overheating and overcurrent
