WARNING!!! When connecting the welding unit to an electrical outlet (at a
temperature of 25 ºC) of a power supply system, it is necessary to consider
wall-buried wiring and the lengths of extension cables.
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Inverter rectifiers PATON™ VDI-160E, VDI-200E, VDI-250E optimized for direct-current
manual arc welding (MMA). This “ECO” series of devices designed for demanding users who wants
the most compact and functional device on its full rated current of 160A / 200A / 250A, respectively. It
is more than enough for most works with electrodes from Ф1,6 mm to Ф5 mm (including refractory),
while operating load factor is not less than 40%, which is more than enough for most works in
household sector (workshops, fleets, etc.).
The block for protection of overvoltage and undervoltage is installed in all Paton™ MMA branded
models.
Due to the increased frequency of the input voltage of the rectifier transformer of the welding unit, the
weight and overall dimensions of the transformer are significantly reduced as compared with other
welding units with similar characteristics.

1. The welding unit is protected against long-time fluctuations of power supply voltage and
provides arc stabilization when the input voltage of the unit changes in the range of 170 V
through 260 V.
2. The welding unit is rated for operation with the standard power supply system. Due to the higher
efficiency coefficient of the unit, the power consumed by the unit is reduced by 50 percent as
compared with other similar welding units.
3. The rotation frequency of the ventilator motor can be automatically varied depending on the
temperature inside the unit. This feature allows the service life of the ventilator motor to be
increased and, additionally, dust content inside of the unit to be reduced.
4. The welding unit is easy operated due to the optimal operating load factor in operation at the
rated current. In these conditions, it is possible to perform welding by using 4 mm electrodes at
the rated current.
5. The enhanced reliability of the welding unit in operation in dusty environment.
6. All the printed-circuit boards with electronic elements are impregnated with two layers of
high-quality varnish in order to provide the high reliability of the welding unit during its
service life.
7. The possibility to smoothly adjust welding parameters.
8. Enhanced arc stability.

1.2. CONTROLS AND CONNECTORS
1 – Device for regulating the welding current. It allows adjust the welding current.
2 – The status of indicator:
a) constantly lit green - machine is ready to work;
b) blinks green when striking - there is no mains voltage;
c) constantly lit yellow - overheating of the source;
d) does not light up - no power;
3 – The power switch (not light, colour decorative).
A (+) – The bayonet connector socket for connecting:
the electrode cable in the manual arc welding mode (or the earthing cable in some cases when
special welding electrodes are used for welding);
В (-) – The bayonet connector socket for connecting:
the earthing cable in the manual arc welding mode (or the power cable for a welding electrode in
some cases when special welding electrodes are used for welding);
