Welding best inverters, rating 2022

Thanks to welding machines, welders have greatly facilitated their work, this is mainly due to modern inverters. Such a modern device has made a big leap in the work with electric welding of metals.

About welding inverters

Of all the power tools, the most popular and frequently used is the welding machine. The inverter today works in many industries, it is applicable both for welding window grilles, building barbecues, and repairing water pipes, installing a fence in a country house and others. With such a welding machine, you can not only connect metal, but also quickly cut it, it is in demand where a grinder is not suitable for cutting. A modern inverter is important for dismantling the foundation, old buildings, as well as removing iron, warming threaded connections.

1. The construction is lightweight;
2. More convenient than other models;
3. Small size;
4. It is easier to learn how to work than with other devices;
5. Conforms to European standards EN 61000-3-12, which is important for welding;
6. You can safely work from a standard outlet, and the wiring in the house will not burn out for sure;
7. Welding will be beautiful.

Inverters are slightly more expensive than conventional welding machines, however, they have become the most relevant in the world and are suitable for different jobs. Such a device operates at high frequencies, has a complex electronic filling, thanks to which welding is better controlled. It can work with metals of very different thicknesses, as it has a current adjustment, the arc will burn more stable than other types of welding, and the pulse amplitude is regular.

How to choose an inverter

It is better to buy modern inverters only from ours or European ones, since most of the Chinese products are of poor quality. It is required to take into account the country of the manufacturer, as there will be breakdowns, and there are currently no spare parts for Asian equipment or it is difficult to get them. Also, be sure to know what to look for, the main thing is the temperature indicator during operation, which should be indicated in the characteristics of the inverter. It is better not to use the device where there is a lot of dust, dust easily enters the product through a fan for cooling.

The most important characteristics when choosing a device

1. 1. Total running time at max. current, this is the ability to work as long as possible at maximum operating values;

1. The operating voltage of idling, the larger it is, the faster the welding arc is formed, usually it is 40-80 V;
2. Arc Force, such a function will automatically regulate the currents, increasing them when required;
3. Anti-sticking, serves to recognize the moment of sticking of the working electrode to the metal;
4. Hot start, this function is required when working with electrodes of terrible workmanship and welding rusty metal;
5. Of even greater importance is the price indicator, the size of the product;
6. Before the purchase itself, find out the reviews on the network, check the quality of workmanship and the moments when the inverter fails.

Before purchasing a welding inverter, you should clarify whether it is required for a home or for construction and major work. Find out right away which model will be the best so that the unit functions as long as possible and does not cost much.Modern welding machines can be clearly divided into three groups, they can be household, special or industrial, each group has its own characteristics. The inverter is today the most fashionable welding machine, although its price is not so small. To buy the best models, consider which company the product is of better quality, and not just its cost.

Resanta SAI-220A

Inverters with the Resanta brand have become relevant today, as this product is distinguished by quality and price. This model is one of the best and has a high max. current 220 A. Due to its unique performance, it can weld with electrodes up to 5 mm, welds massive structures, and cuts easily.Such a unit provides high currents and works for a long time, since the PV coefficient is 70%, which is important for work. This design had all the special functions, that is, anti-sticking, afterburner, hot start.

There is one drawback here - it will be difficult for a welder with little experience to work, unlike other welding structures. The product has an operating current range of up to 260V, the inverter requires careful storage, the technical general characteristics here are ideal. The company is one of the best modern manufacturers in the world, whose equipment is relatively cheap.

• Performance will be excellent even with strong and frequent current drops;
• The price is affordable;
• The power is big;
• Light model;
• Decent welding;
• Value for money;
• The case is not made of plastic, so it lasts a very long time;
• Input machine;
• Special working cables.

• The current regulator has a weak twist;
• The case is missing;
• The scale at the current adjustment knob is terrible;
• The manufacturing material of the welding fan is weak;
• The mass wire design is unfortunate here;
• There are cons, although for this price the product is excellent.

Bottom line: The workmanship is excellent and the price is affordable, can easily weld large structures, cuts metal perfectly. The average price is 5759 rubles, the quality of this inverter is excellent, there are few comments.

Inverters, their advantages and disadvantages

The welding inverter is a convenient and compact special tool for welding metals. Modern equipment can be used both by qualified specialists with great experience and with little. Professionals will say that the best unit is one that operates with direct current, works with various types of electrodes and where there are required functions, such as hot start, anti-sticking. In addition, the device has such an important element as greater stability when the current drops. If an employee is interested in the issue of quality, as well as how much the model costs, then it is better for him to take into account the rating of this article.

Main characteristics:

1. Power. This characteristic is indicated in the document for the design, this is the welding current at which the inverter operates without interruption and overheating, when buying structures for welding, make a current reserve of 50% exactly.
2. Duration of general workloads. It is a characteristic of the product in the rotary short-term mode.
3. Power supply current range. If welding takes place outside the city, then the mains current may have strong deviations from the required value, it is better to use the unit, taking into account a jump of 10-20% on average.
4. Additional qualities. Requires ARC FORCE, HOT START and ANTI STICK for convenience.

Today, inverters have taken the best positions as leaders among welding equipment, which is due to their advantages, products that are easy to transport and efficient in operation. Among the technical main advantages, such characteristics as low weight of the equipment, economical indicators of the electricity used, which are better than conventional transformer welding, are important.

The splash zone of working sparks is reduced, welding currents can be adjusted, and the product works immediately from the moment it is started. The seam will be of high quality, the inverter itself is safe and easy to use. If you want to buy the best inverters, then consider the ratings of quality devices on the Internet.

Among the minuses is the cost, which is more than 2 times than that of older devices. Another disadvantage is expensive repairs, if the power module breaks, it will cost 30% of the price of the inverter. The device works without strong overloads, it is also necessary to take into account the stability of the current at the place of work. A modern device has such a weak factor as dusting, that is, it is afraid of dust, in addition, it is advisable not to work at low temperatures.

Welding modern technologies are ideal, the device for welding has become more economical and better, which even a welder with little experience can handle. If you are thinking about which inverter to buy and how to choose it, then consider the main selection criteria indicated here in the article.
