Welding machine "Terminator": description, diagram, instruction manual

One of the best models of household inverters is the "Terminator" welding machine. It features low weight, compact dimensions and a wide range of functions, which allows not only to carry out welding operations, but also to cut metal. Due to this inverter was widely used among professionals and ordinary consumers.

Scheme of the welding machine "Terminator"

The power unit of the inverter is capable of generating only a direct current. This is due to the fact that the electric circuit of the welding machine "Terminator" is based on the rectifier. The characteristics of the welding current affect the mode and operating conditions of the equipment:

• MMA-mode, designed to work with rod electrodes on structural steel.
• Cutting mode for low-carbon steel.

The inverter can be used as a battery charger for a car battery or starter for a vehicle engine thanks to the built-in unit.

Scope and purpose

Due to its multifunctionality and compact dimensions, the "Terminator" welding machine is in demand not only among ordinary consumers, but also among professional masters. The inverter exhibits the greatest efficiency in those operating conditions that require the mobility of equipment. In most cases, the welding machine "Terminator" is used by welders working in the municipal sector, construction or repair teams.

Functionality of inverters

Equipment of this brand has the following functions:

• Welding with piece electrodes of products from low-carbon steel.
• Cutting products from low-carbon steel.
• Charging of storage batteries due to the modification of the welding machine "Terminator" due to the integration of the starting-charging device into it. This feature is beneficial for car owners: they can quickly and easily start the vehicle's engine.

Features of technology

The inverter is simple in design, small in size and small in weight, making it easy and convenient to use in a domestic environment. The welding machine control is intuitive and simple.

For the welding machine "Terminator" is characterized by a number of features that make it an indispensable assistant in everyday life when performing various welding operations:

• Forced cooling system integrated in the inverter housing. It allows you to operate the device for a long time without the need for interruptions to cool the internal components and parts. When the device overheats, it automatically turns off.
• The busbars and the transformer winding are made of a special copper alloy, which withstands high electrical loads, so that you can conduct welding machines for a long time without interruption.
• Economical consumption of electricity is another advantage of the "Terminator" welding machine and the reason for its popularity among professional and novice welders. The device can be connected to a standard single-phase 220 V power network without the use of additional equipment.
• Simplicity and convenience of operation of the inverter facilitate welding. The device can be transported from place to place thanks to special belts, which allows it to be used when working at height.
• A high degree of safety is another advantage of the inverter. The case of the device is protected from electric shock by the user, and the forced ventilation system prevents overheating of the device during long operation.

Advantages of Inverter

The welding machine "Terminator" is produced by the Russian company. Developers have combined in the models of this brand a classic rectifier with innovative technical solutions, on which the advantages and disadvantages of the device depend.

Advantages of the inverter are determined by its design features:

• Rectifier unit, responsible for forced cooling of the welding machine. This design solution has made it possible to increase the duration of the device inclusion to almost 100 percent. Similar parameters can not boast of all professional models of inverters.
• The power unit can operate from standard single-phase networks. This feature excludes the device from the category of professional models, powered by three-phase networks, as indicated in the instructions for the welding machine "Terminator". Due to the possibility of connection to household electric systems, the inverter has gained popularity among consumers.
• The power components of the device design are made of a special copper alloy, which is most often used in professional models. Thanks to a similar solution in one device, it was possible to combine professional characteristics and household purpose. The downside is that the weight of the device has increased to 13 kilograms, while similar models weigh an average of 6-8 kilograms. The disadvantage, however, is easily covered by almost one hundred percent turn-on time.
• Simple control circuit of the device. The inverter has two or three operating modes, which are sufficient for solving household tasks. The lack of additional functions and third-party controllers and switches simplified the work with the welding machine and allowed it to be used by novice welders.

Disadvantages of technology

Among the minuses of the welding machine "Terminator" distinguish the following:

• Impossibility of its transfer to an alternating current mode;
• Only one type of welding - MMA;
• The production of a small welding current, which is why a restriction on the electrodes used is imposed.

Welding machine "Terminator 175"

The Torus-175 Terminator inverter is used for welding with MMA piece electrodes or TIG welding with tungsten electrodes. The set includes a shoulder strap, which facilitates the transportation of the inverter through the work platform. The built-in protection system protects the unit from overheating. The conversion ratio of the device is high, which saves energy during operation. Even in conditions of jumps in the input voltage, the stability of the welding arc remains.

The complete set of the welding machine includes cables and sets of wires manufactured in Russia. All elements are checked in the factory. Carry out self-repair of the welding machine "Terminator" is not recommended, since it removes the device from warranty service.

Advantages

The inverter "Torus-175 Terminator" has the following advantages:

• Compact size and light weight, which facilitates its transportation.
• Resistant to sudden power surges in the electrical network.
• Creating high-quality welds.
• Built-in microprocessor controlled by the inverter.
• Possibility of continuous operation without overheating.
• Automatic shutdown of the inverter when it is overheated.
• The set includes welding wires.
• A special plug is sold with the inverter.
