PERFORMANCE

What Is It?

Diamond Core Technologyis a patented innovative choke design that filters the welding arc. It provides dynamic optimized arc filtering across the entire welding range of amperages. Other arc stabilization methods are “fixed” – or only working at certain amperages – resulting in harsh arc characteristic changes over the welding range.
