TECARC 300A COMPACT MIG WELDER – 230V (CI 301 PRO)

The TecArc Ci 301 PRO is a 300 Amp single phase (230V) British built inverter MIG welder.  From Technical Arcs professional range of MIG welders, with increased duty cycles, the Ci PRO is built for industry.

Ideal for everything from thin sheet metal work to light fabrication and agricultural work.  Reverse polarity for gasless wires, digital meters and stick welding functionality now come as standard on the Ci PRO models, making them truly versatile bits of kit.

Industrial machines, the TecArc Ci Pro will weld steel, stainless steel, duplex, hardox, aluminium and alloys.  Super smooth welding characteristics with low spatter for perfect welds and instant arc starts without popping.  Run from a generator or mains, with auto compensation even for long extension cables or poor supply where voltage drop may be an issue.

Equipped with a 4 roll wire feed inside the power source, allowing the use of long MIG torches, providing a smooth and consistent feed of wire.  A 4 roll wire drive grips the wire better and also helps especially with softer wires such as aluminium.

2 knobs control welding output volts and wire feed speed, which are both infinitely variable unlike their transformer, step regulated predecessors.  A stable digital display shows welding power when setting the machine and exact values during the weld.

Fairly unique to TecArc is their range of higher amperage single phase machines, a sought after specification for those welding thick materials with the constraint of only a 230V mains supply.

SUPPLIED AS STANDARD WITH 3M MAINS LEAD, 3M EARTH RETURN LEAD, MIG TORCH AND REGULATOR

BRITISH BUILT

When you think of a British built welder, their isn’t a company more renowned for their UK welding machines than Technical Arc, the makers of TecArc.  They have been made in the UK for many years and have built a reputation as workhorses.  They are simply built to offer maximum lifespan, providing reliability and excellent welding performance.  The newer inverter machines are no exception, they are hand built using only the best quality components sourced in the UK wherever possible.  Anything that can be made in house is made right in the factory here in the UK – inverter transformers, coils and PCBs, they even daw their own copper litz wire.

Technical Specification

* Note the input fuse size on single phase models is a result of TecArcs calculations & tests, it is possible to use any of these models on a lower fuse size at lower welding power. It is recommended always using a ‘D’ type circuit breaker to avoid intermittant tripping & in some instances you may experience intermittant tripping if using close to maximum settings.

Output amps on MMA and TIG is the same as MIG.  .

Why accept an imported machine when you can buy a top quality British made machine for a similar price?

Please note:  TecArc machines are built to order and may take 7 – 14 working days from order to be built and dispatched.  If you place an order online, one of sales team will be in touch to confirm delivery time scales.  Also note our returns policy for these machines on our terms and conditions page.

THE TBWS VERDICT:

We have been supplying the TecArc range of machines for a very long time now. They are just simply built to last! You just know that you can go to these welders, turn them on and away you go. TecArc parts availability is some of the best out there too. Also, in the event of needing technical advice, you can talk to the people that designed and made the machine!  Furthermore, Technical Arc, the manufacturer, have been fixing machines from all the brands over the many years they have been in business.  They have seen what fails and what lasts, the components they have used to build these machines are chosen from their vast experience to perform and last the test of time.
