Typhoon is a new top-tier class of TIG/Stick welders.
Designed to compete in the next generation of elite level AC/DC TIG and Stick welding products, the Typhoon 230 offers one of the best combinations of features and specifications for true next-level performance. The new Typhoon 230 begins by setting a new class standard with 70% duty cycle at maximum output. It also leads the class with its new, large 5.1″ HD LCD screen (diagnonal full measurement) with crystal-clear resolution and brightness. The panel layout keeps controls simple and to the point with intuitive, easy-to-select and adjust functions. Other performance-driven features such as DC pulse wave form shaping and a new type of solid state HV/HF starting for TIG secure the Typhoon 230’s place as a premier, next level TIG welder in all metals categories.
Not only is The Typhoon 230 a premier TIG welder, it is also a top-level stick welder with features such as AC and DC stick output, with adjustable AC balance and Frequency, and excellent 6010 performance. It also has arc force control (dig) and hot start adjustment to combine to run E7018 as smooth as any welder out there. The combination of the features makes this unit perfect for welding out in the field or in the shop doing fabrication and production welding. The unit has up to 200Amp Stick output at 70% duty cycle which means this unit is perfect for running root, fill and cap passes.
New fan and cooler control technology allows the fans and water cooler to run only when needed.
The European unit’s is 1 phase 230V.
Attention buyer!!

PRODUCT NOTES
This unit should be operated with generators capable of 8000 surge watts or greater. Though this unit is equipped with PFC, it is still recommended that for best service, the generator be rated for 5% or less Total Harmonic Distortion. However, in emergency situations, generators with higher THD levels up to 15% may be used.
Optional Equipment:
- PowerCool 375 Water Cooler
- PowerCart 375LF
- PowerCart 330
- NOVA Wireless Foot Pedal
- TIG Torches
- TIG Consumables
- Protective Cover
- Protective Cover Combo (unit + cooler)
MINIMUM/MAXIMUM
TIG:
- Weld steel to a maximum of 5/16″ single pass (240V)
- Weld steel to a maximum of 1+” multi-pass (240V)
- Weld aluminum to a maximum of 5/16″ single pass (240V)
- Weld aluminum to a maximum of 1+” multi-pass (240V )
- Weld aluminum to a maximum of 1/4″ multi-pass (240V
- Weld to a minimum of .004″ Steel
- Weld to a minimum of .005″ Aluminum
TIG: ratings based off of industry accepted standard practices for quality single and multi-pass welds. AC advanced pulse, when adjusted properly can weld thicker than standard welders with 250 amps output and this is included in Steel and Aluminum maximum capacity statements.
Stick:
- Weld with a minimum of 1/16″ diameter electrode
- Weld with a maximum of 3/16″” diameter electrode (240V)
Stick electrode maximum size is ultimately dependent upon type/class of electrode and manufacturer’s recommendation.
Delivery:
1-2 w.d.
