The WIA Weldarc 185i with leads and carry case is a portable stick welder designed for professional welders and onsite maintenance tasks. Weighing only 5.5kg, this machine is ideal for users who require mobility without compromising on performance or safety.

This welder features a new digital display and a built-in Voltage Reduction Device (VRD) for enhanced operator safety during Stick and Lift-TIG welding. It is fully compliant with Australian Standards AS 60974.1 and AS1674.2 CAT C, making it suitable for demanding site work and industrial applications. The Weldarc 185i is generator compatible, having been tested for use with appropriate portable generators, and includes a thermal protection device to prevent overheating during extended use.

• Hot Start function for improved arc ignition in manual arc mode
• Arc Force technology that automatically boosts output if low arc voltage occurs
• Lift Arc TIG start for easy and reliable TIG welding, reducing tungsten electrode damage
• Fan-on-Demand system that operates only when needed, reducing noise, energy consumption, and dust intake
• 3-year unlimited warranty on the power source, supported by a nationwide service network

For optimal performance, generators used with this equipment must have a minimum continuous capacity of 10kW. Due to variations between generator models, WIA recommends confirming compatibility before purchase. The Weldarc 185i is engineered for reliability, safety, and versatility in industrial and onsite welding environments.
