The PROTIG 231 DC FV is a compact, portable pulsed TIG DC inverter designed for professional use. Thanks to FV (Flexible Voltage) and PFC technology, it operates from 85 V to 265 V with a perfectly stable arc, even on 100 m extension leads. For MMA welding, its pulsed mode is especially effective for uphill/vertical welds (pipes and pipelines).
