Matweld Inverter Welder 200A in Aluminium Case

The Matweld MAT9005P is a portable, DC arc inverter welder specifically packaged for users who require both mobility and protection for their equipment. While it shares the same internal power specs as the standard MAT9005, the "P" (or "K" in some regions) version includes a rugged, foam-lined aluminium carry case that houses the machine and all included accessories, making it a favorite for site work and high-mobility maintenance.

Technical Specifications

• Model Code: MAT9005P.
• Input Voltage: Single Phase 220V/230V (pm 10).
• Amperage Range: 20A – 200A (DC).
• Duty Cycle: 60% at 200A (Industrial strength).
• Electrode Capacity: 2.0mm to 4.0mm.
• Protection Class: IP21S.
• Inverter Weight: 4.7kg (Machine only).

Kit Contents (Scope of Delivery)

The primary advantage of this specific model is the complete "ready-to-weld" package contained within the aluminium case:

• 1 x 200A Inverter Welder (Red chassis).
• 1 x Electrode Holder with 2m cable and 35-50 Dinse connector.
• 1 x Earth Clamp with 2m cable and 35-50 Dinse connector.
• 1 x Handheld Face Mask (Basic protective shield).
• 1 x Wire Brush & Chipping Hammer combo tool.
• 1 x Heavy-Duty Aluminium Carry Case with reinforced corners and locking latches.

Key Performance Features

• IGBT Inverter Technology: Ensures high-speed switching for a smooth, stable arc that is easier to maintain, even for less experienced welders.
• Digital Display: Features a bright LED readout for precise amperage setting—essential for matching the heat to the specific rod size being used.
• Advanced Arc Control: Includes Hot Start (easier arc striking), Arc Force (prevents the rod from sticking during the weld), and Anti-Stick (automatically reduces current if the rod sticks).
• VRD (Voltage Reduction Device): Often integrated into this industrial series to reduce the open-circuit voltage when the machine is idle, enhancing safety in damp or confined environments.
• Lift TIG Capability: Although primarily a Stick (MMA) welder, the MAT9005P supports "Lift TIG" welding if equipped with an optional TIG torch and argon gas.

Common Applications

• Farming & Agriculture: Ideal for on-site repairs to gates, implements, and livestock handling equipment where the machine needs to be transported in a bakkie.
• Light Structural Steel: Capable of running 3.15mm and 4.0mm 6013 or 7018 rods for frames, carports, and security bars.
• Site Maintenance: The aluminium case protects the machine's cooling vents and digital display from dust and impact during transport between jobs.

Usage & Maintenance Tips

• Case Organization: Always allow the welding cables to cool slightly before coiling them back into the aluminium case. Packing hot cables against the machine can damage the insulation or the welder's plastic housing.
• Cooling Vents: Do not operate the welder while it is sitting inside the aluminium case. Always remove the machine and place it on a flat, stable surface to ensure the internal cooling fans have unobstructed airflow.
• Duty Cycle Awareness: At 200A, the machine is rated for a 60% duty cycle. This means it can weld for 6 minutes out of every 10. If the thermal overload light comes on, leave the machine powered on so the fan can cool the internal components.
• Connector Security: Ensure the 35-50 Dinse plugs are twisted firmly into the machine. A loose connection will cause the sockets to melt, which is a common (and avoidable) failure on high-amperage inverters.
