3 criteria for
selecting the right welding set.
Essential for welding on worksites without electricity or when carrying out maintenance on isolated machines, WELDARC welding sets are practical, easy to
transport and ready to use in record time. They can also be used as auxiliary gensets for the supply of electricity.
KOHLER ® engines are used in WELDARC welding sets as standard to provide offer technological expertise that brings together power and performance, safety and
robustness with reduced maintenance and operating costs.
1 Frequency of use
A DC voltage welding set, like those in the WELDARC range, will enable you
to use all electrode types and weld even the most technical material.
Two special ranges to suit the intensity of use.
The WELDARC INTENS range provides a 2 in 1 genset + welding set system
that is powerful and suitable for normal use.
The WELDARC DIESEL range provides a 2 in 1 genset + welding set system,
with a run-time that can be twice that of petrol models. It is ideal for
intensive use.
3 The backup power you need
All welding sets in the WELDARC range can supply electrical current through
their auxiliary outputs. They can be used as standard electricity gensets and the
choice of model for this function is subject to the same criteria as the other
electricity gensets in the Portable Power range.
2 The types of electrode you use
Each welding set offers you the choice of a variety of electrodes, which it is
essential to specify before selecting your welding set.
Rutile
An electrode for general use which is very flexible in use.
Cellulosic
An electrode suitable for downward welding.
Basic
An electrode for top security technical assembly. This use is recommended
for parts under significant mechanical strain. It requires welding using
direct current.
The maximum diameter of the welding rod is also an important criterion that
you should keep in mind when selecting your welding set. Do not forget to
take this into account.
