Rating of the best inverter-type welding machines: reviews of popular models for home use: pros, cons, prices

The inverter is a compact unit, characterized by its low weight and the ability to carry it from place to place. High efficiency and economical energy consumption allow you to connect it to a household network. The best welding machines have a high reliability class and can be intensively used in solving one-time and regular tasks by both beginners and professional welders. Today, manufacturers offer inverter-type units with optimal consumer parameters. The training time for successful operation is minimal.

Structurally, the inverter consists of:

• transformer;
• electronic circuit;
• throttle.

What types of inverter-type welding machines are there?

All inverter devices are produced using one of two types of technologies: MOSFET or IGBT.

• MOSFETs were developed several decades ago. In Europe, where energy consumption standards are becoming stricter every year, it is no longer possible to see MOSFET inverters in stores. The Russian market has not yet abandoned them. The devices, as a rule, cost less and, despite their heaviness and small size, are still in demand, especially for carrying out simple manipulations of welding ferrous metals.
• IGBT is a more innovative and cost-effective technology with many advantages over MOSFETs. These are the best welding inverters, capable of operating at a significantly high frequency (60–85 kHz), which also significantly reduces the weight of the unit. Thermal protection for IGBT operates at 90 C versus 60 C for MOSFET, which cannot but affect the duration of continuous operation of the device.

MMA welding: what is it?

MMA is called manual arc welding with a covered electrode. This is the simplest method that even beginners can do. The power source is connected to the mains, 2 cables of different polarity for supplying current to the materials being connected.

One cable has a clamp at the end, fixed to the workpiece, the second with a holder at the end is used to fix the electrode. During manual arc welding, the thermal energy of an electric arc is used, which occurs when a simple electrical circuit is closed. Under the thermal influence of the arc, the metal melts and a weld pool is formed. At the moment the flow of electric current stops, the metal cools and crystallizes, thus forming a welded joint.

Equipment for MMA is the simplest, does not require any special additional devices, and its purchase is inexpensive. It is only necessary to set the appropriate current value. The equipment includes (in addition to the welder’s equipment and consumables) the device itself with a wire for connecting to the network and two insulated cables of a suitable cross-section - with a ground clamp and an electrode holder.

What to look for when purchasing

Which welder should you choose for your home, and what equipment can you use on a construction site? It is necessary to evaluate the scope of application, power, and determine the type of welding. Advanced functionality will help make it easier for a novice welder to use. Only in this case can you buy the best welding inverter for your home, garden renovation, or installation of metal structures.

Application area

When using a welder on sites with constant voltage fluctuations, it is recommended to choose a model that operates stably at 140-160V. This technique will help with solving problems in rural areas and in the country. If you plan to use it at a remote construction site, then it is better to buy a device designed to connect to an electric generator. To install metal structures, you need a gadget that can work with electrodes No. 4-5. This will make it possible to weld steel more than 6 mm thick, which is used in the assembly of metal structures.

If there is a large volume of tasks to be solved, it is worth buying a semi-automatic welding inverter, which is equipped with an automatic wire feed system. It is better if the rollers of this unit are made of metal. A semi-automatic welder is more expensive, but this is compensated by an increase in labor productivity.

Power

The maximum thickness of workpieces that can be fixed by welding depends on the power. When choosing, it is recommended to proceed from the following parameters:

The given power parameters for manual operation with MMA electrodes. When performing more complex technological operations, it is necessary to take into account the technological features of the process.

Welding type

Inverters are designed for the following types of cooking:

• MMA – manual arc welding with stick electrodes, suitable for users with low qualifications. You can cook in any position; consumables are low priced. The downside is low performance. Suitable for one-time use;
• MIG-MAG is a semi-automatic mode with wire feeding, which is performed in a protective gas environment. Allows you to create a neat seam. Can be used for welding aluminum, copper, titanium, nickel, low-alloy steel. The welder does not need to waste time periodically replacing the electrode. The downside is the heavy weight, which does not allow use in difficult conditions;
• TIG – technological processes in argon – an inert gas. Professional equipment requiring highly qualified technicians. The welder uses a refractory tungsten electrode.

A variety of equipment by type of welding allows you to choose equipment that matches the planned work.

Functional

Advanced functionality will make it easier for beginners and professionals to solve problems. Arc forcing will help increase the current and help adjust its rigidity. Hot start makes ignition simple. Anti-sticking will help to form a neat, strong, reliable seam. The technological process will be simplified by the indication of basic parameters and automatic voltage reduction at idle.

How to choose the best welding inverter?

The question of which welding machine to choose for the home worries everyone who is faced with the need to purchase one. Before buying a device, it is important to pay attention to a number of technical criteria for devices. Let's talk about the most significant of them.

So, before choosing a welding machine, you need to check:

• Mains voltage parameter. In order to carry out activities at home, it is worth selecting equipment designed for 220 Volts.
• Power consumption. For a household device, 4-5 kV is enough. For professional use, it is better to buy a more powerful inverter.
• The magnitude of the open circuit voltage. The larger it is, the more stable the combustion. The average is from 30 to 80 V.
• Maximum current. For a home unit, 190–250 A is enough, but it’s even better if this figure reaches 300 Amperes.
• Possibility to be powered by a generator. When thinking about which welding inverter will work best in the field, find out whether the tool can operate stably from a generator when the voltage in the network “drops”.
• Additional functionality. Useful functions include, for example, a hot start, which makes it easier to ignite the electrode. The “Anti-stick” option reduces the current if the electrode burns to the metal surface, protecting the equipment from failure. It would also be a good idea to inquire about the level of moisture resistance and dust protection. As a rule, this information is indicated by the letters IP on the model body.

Our top best models do not include professional options. We only talked about the low-price segment, since this is what is usually of interest to craftsmen. But the price of a good unit for professionals will be an order of magnitude, or even two, higher, and purchasing it for home needs is not always advisable. It is better to choose a simpler device.
