The ESAB 95i constitutes a highly portable, inverter-based DC welding power source engineered for both Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW/Stick) and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW/TIG) applications. This unit is specifically designed to operate on 115 VAC primary power, making it universally compatible with standard household and commercial utility outlets via the included 15-20 A adapter configuration. The system's core architecture utilizes advanced inverter technology to minimize mass and volume, resulting in a net weight of only 4.4 kg (9.7 lbs), which significantly enhances operator mobility in field maintenance scenarios.
The power source provides a maximum output of 90 Amps, sufficient for manipulating electrodes up to 2.4 mm (3/32 inch) in diameter. The output characteristics are optimized for Direct Current (DC) welding, facilitating the joining of mild steel, stainless steel, and chrome-molybdenum alloys. For TIG applications, the unit features a Lift TIG start mechanism, which eliminates the need for High-Frequency (HF) initiation, thereby reducing the risk of electromagnetic interference with sensitive surrounding electronics. This contact-based starting method ensures reliable arc ignition without tungsten contamination when performed correctly.
In Stick mode, the 95i incorporates Fixed Hot Start and Arc Force control. Hot Start automatically increases amperage at the moment of ignition to prevent electrode sticking, while Arc Force stabilizes the arc during welding by adjusting current in response to arc length variations. The unit is thermally protected against overload; internal circuitry monitors component temperatures and automatically interrupts power output if thermal limits are exceeded, resetting only after the unit has cooled sufficiently. This kit configuration (W1003210) is comprehensive, including the power source, a 17V-style TIG torch with gas valve, electrode holder, ground clamp, and a Victor Argon Flowgauge regulator, ensuring immediate operational readiness for light fabrication and repair tasks.
