It is rated 250A at 100% duty cycle and with a Uocv Start Voltage of 100V it is highly capable of welding cellulosic welding electrodes ranging from 1.6mm – 5mm in diameter in addition to welding mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron and aluminium.
In the MMA mode, in addition to an adjustable arc force producing good penetration and giving an anti-stick function, it also features an adjustable ‘Hot Start’ function incorporating ‘Low Hot Start’ for welding thin gauge materials and a ‘High Hot Start’ for welding materials with dirt ingression or include oxidised parts. The GYSMi 253CEL also features a robust and splash proof (IP23) casing and is designed for welding in boiler making, pipework and general purpose heavy duty welding applications.
It can be used to weld most materials using the TIG welding mode with the exception of aluminium and alloy materials.
In the TIG welding mode the GYSMI 253 CEL features easy starting using the TIG Lift Arc function, preventing tungsten inclusions and radio electrical disturbance. Other features include automatic and adjustable ‘Arc Down’ slope which makes for a good smooth weld finish with no crater, whilst the automatic torch release after welding is easy.
This machine has anti-dust ventilation from back to the front of the unit in order to minimise dust ingression into the machine’s electronic components.
