What is known about the manufacturer

The history of the brand began at the Riga factory that quarter of a century ago began producing voltage regulators. The secret of the survival and the success of the manufacturer - in the manufacture of all components in its own production and high level of control over the quality of products.

Resanta not only produces a wide range of tools, but also organizes the service and sales for the repair of spare parts. development of the company was seen by the German industrial giant Huter, who is now a business partner Resanta.

To date Resanta offers an impressive range of welding equipment from household to industrial items. Including - Domestic inverter devices, which are not afraid to surge

Types of welders from Resanta

Assembly units Resanta produces in Latvia. Purpose of these devices different:

Appliances for suburban areas and home useWorking from the usual network of 220 V. Suitable for users who do not have experience in dealing with welding. Have a smooth arc current and adjustment within a range of 200 A;
professional model provide higher quality seal and can be used in the services and organizations involved in the repair and maintenance. Current Range - 300 A;
industrial units used in the production, provide the highest quality welds. Have a current range of up to 500 A.

inverters Resanta presented by such rulers: Mo (undervoltage) and profiles (having the longer time interval of use).

What is known about the advantages and disadvantages of welding machines Resanta

Cheaper cost Resanta devices is due to the use of Chinese-made boards and circuits. This gives the manufacturer a head start before production of European brands. Let us consider the advantages of welders Resanta:

stable welding, despite the power surges;
the formation of a small amount of ash, which makes it possible to form a neat seam;
possibility to smoothly adjust amperage, selecting the correct voltage for each alloy;
the use of devices for all types of alloys including - aluminum;
relatively lightweight aggregates, which facilitates the transportation and moving during operation;
economical power consumption.

On the shortcomings of these devices can only say that, unfortunately, the service centers are not yet in all cities. So that the repair can be a problem

How to choose a welding machine of the presented lines

First of all, before buying the device should define the tasks that you put in front of him. If he only needed for repairs in the country - is one thing, but if you are going with him to look for jobs - is quite another.

Tip! There is no need to purchase a professional tool for domestic use. You most likely will not use its rich functionality and only wasting a lot of money.

Types of welders

According to the source current welding machines are divided into:

transformers - this is the easiest type of device, which consists of a transformer, outstanding alternating currents. These devices are quite large and heavy. They can weigh hundreds of kilograms. For qualitative welding electrodes require special designed for operation with alternating current. Transformer efficiency can reach 90%.
rectifiers - are devices that convert alternating current to direct current. They have a more complex structure including a transformer, the diode unit and the adjustment unit.
inverters - the most modern type of operating at high frequency currents. The apparatus enables high-quality seam, and, thus, does not weigh more than 7 kg, which makes it very convenient for consumer use.

The obvious advantage of these devices - the low cost

This device is more stable and reliable in operation, but also weigh very well

The inverters have a wide range of adjustments and give the opportunity to work with thin electrodes

types of welding

The most popular type is the welding arc. The electrode in this embodiment is used a thin wire, which holds together the desired parts together. Such type of welding is suitable for use with ferrous metals, cast iron and alloys. The only caveat - the seam strength is poor.

Gas welding occurs using argon mixed with oxygen. The electrode in this case is made of graphite or tungsten. Additive for connecting parts is the same material from which they are made.

This work is considered to be expensive and is used mainly for the small amount of work

MIG welding or non-consumable electrode is made of the welding wire with a pulsed current and direct current. Semiautomatic usually not thick welded steel sheet of high quality and non-ferrous metals.

power units

When choosing a welding machine always pay attention to the current range, which indicates the capacity of the device. The larger the upper limit of the current range - the more powerful device. 150 A. for household needs enough indicator All that is higher - semi-professional and professional models.

Another indicator, which is worth paying attention to - measure idle. He varies between 85 V. The higher it is, the easier it is to work with the instrument

Popular models of welders for household needs from Resanta

So. The most optimal for domestic use is considered to be the inverter due to its low weight and a wide range of adjustment. On the basis of this thesis, there are several popular models of this type of Resanta:

AIS 160. An appliance for manual work electrodes to 4 mm. The current is adjustable between 160 A. The device is suitable for general power. To avoid overheating in the welder has a fan. The device itself is light and compact. Price - within 6000 rubles.

~~Welder Resanta AIS 160~~

AIS 190. Compact device for home use, which uses arc welding with electrodes up to 5 mm. Despite its small size, it is a powerful machine, capable of delivering up to 190 A. Equipped with convenient features: antizalipaniya, hot start and tunnel cooling. It will cost about 7000 rubles.

AIS 220. That's a pretty powerful machine that can be used by amateurs and professionals. Maximum current - about 220 A, which is more than is needed for domestic use. But this stock gives handyman push to improve their skills. Adjusting device allows to vary the current. Can welding continuously. Price - within 9000 rubles.

~~Welding apparatus Resanta AIS 220~~

AIS 250. Professional arc welding device with thin electrodes and 6 mm. Adjusting the current up to 250 A and a near perfect seam - that is what distinguishes this device. Automatically shut down in case of overheating and provides a stable arc. It is worth - about 9500 rubles.

How to use the welding machine Resanta

Operation welders Resanta differs from the comparative simplicity. Adjustments - intuitive, more features quick start and antizalipaniya makes work much easier. How to use this welder - in this little video:

Welder Resanta: consumer reviews

If you examine the responses, then there is a caveat: Many users have reported problems with the operation of units at pyatnadtsatiprotsentnom differential voltage. But in the characteristics of the device indicates that they can be operated even at a voltage of 140 volts. The conclusion is clear: to work in a "walk" the voltage required current stabilizers. This is especially true for the suburban areas, where the voltage is traditionally "rides".

The rest of the reviews are quite good:
