Hi all,
Has anyone got any info on the Eland TIG 160 HF?
Can’t find manual or anything on tinterweb

What do you want to know ?

No nothing comes up.

Probably generic Chinese thing.

Post a decent photo of the front panel.

Sure we'll figure it out.

How to tig weld for starters

I’ve got it now. Didn’t realise there’s no earth lead so can’t test it out other than it turns on and fan spins up.

What amp circuit breaker should I wire it through? My garage is on 32amp breaker at the fuse box. I thought I’d need to drop this to the rating of the welder?

Wired a 13amp plug on for now.
Knocked up a dinse 10-25 connector out of the little brass scrap I have.
3 runs of old 10awg stereo amp power cable and a few rolls of insulation tape and I’ve managed to scorch a piece of steel plate about 3mm thick on low settings. Need to order right size tungsten/collets for a proper go.

Can someone please explain the settings?

Current amperes = current once arc starts

Sec post gas = gas turns off after x seconds after releasing trigger.

Sec I2 = Slope down current perentage?

From top to bottom:
2T/4T = low/high power high frequency start?
2T/4T = low/high power scratch start?

Stick setting

2t is torch on and torch off

4t is torch on , secondary current on , secondary current off , torch off

You have these with and without high frequency !

Not high and low power !

Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

Anyone have recollection or opinion of these? This forum brings up good comments of the eland migs. Can’t see why eland tigs don’t exist?
