Merkle MobiARC 284 cel

MobiARC: Compact. Powerful. Portable!

The Merkle range of MMA welding inverters is designed consistently around users' needs. With three power categories and welding currents ranging from 160 A to 280 A, the products meet every requirement.

• Inverter power sources: small, handy and portable – ideal for installation work and workshop use.
• Infinitely variable current control.
• Digital welding current display.^*
• Remote control connection as standard.*
  Polarity switching on the remote control for the MobiARC 284 cel+.
• Suitable for vertical-down welding and cellulosic electrodes.^*
• Dynamic current adjustment (Arc Force): If the electrode is pushed into the weld pool, the current increases to prevent it from sticking.
• Electrode Hotstart: A higher starting current is applied briefly (adjustable) to ensure reliable arc ignition (adjustable).*
• Anti Stick function: If the electrode sticks, the current switches off immediately. Restarting is only possible after a short delay once the electrode has been released.^*
• TIG welding with LiftTIG ignition.
• Approved for use in environments with increased electrical hazard, S-marked in accordance with EN 60974-1.

*not available on the MobiARC 160

Merkle hand-held remote control

The Merkle hand-held remote control has been developed to provide optimal welding parameter adjustment when the work area is some distance from the machine.

• Robust, durable housing.
• Dust- and water-resistant housing.
• Extra-large rotary knob, easy to operate even with welding gloves.
• Magnetic holder on the back for flexible positioning.
• Polarity selector switch (MobiARC 282 cel+-).

BiPowerPLUS

Gone are the days when you had to consider which socket was available and which welding machines could be connected to it.
The new BiPowerPLUS function in the MobiARC 282 celer provides maximum flexibility when welding. In the workshop, you can weld using a 400 V three-phase supply and, for welding work elsewhere, such as on a construction site, simply connect the machine to a 230 V AC supply.
The new BiPowerPLUS makes it possible!

The benefits:

• The practical adapter provides maximum flexibility
• Connection to a 230 V AC or 400 V three-phase supply
