The Lincoln Electric Invertec V155-S TIG/Stick Ready-Pak (K2606-1) is engineered for the professional who demands performance without the bulk. Weighing in at under 15 lbs (6.8 kg), this inverter-based power source redefines portability in the 150-amp class. Whether you are climbing ladders for process piping repair or working in a cramped maintenance closet, the V155-S travels easily while delivering the industrial-grade arc stability Lincoln Electric is known for. Its IP23-rated chassis ensures it can withstand harsh outdoor environments and resistance to dents, making it a reliable companion for rigors of site work.
One of the standout features of the V155-S is its intelligent 120/230V auto-reconnect input power. This allows maintenance teams and contractors to plug into standard household power or heavy-duty job site generators without manual switching. The machine is capable of running on 230V extension cords up to 200 feet long, providing exceptional reach. When connected to 230V, the unit delivers up to 155 amps of welding output, sufficient for 5/32" stick electrodes and a wide range of TIG applications.
The V155-S is not just a power source; it is a precision tool. It features two distinct stick welding modes: SOFT and CRISP. The SOFT mode produces a smooth arc with reduced spatter, ideal for E7018 electrodes and vertical-up welding. The CRISP mode provides a more digging arc, perfect for E6010 and E6011 cellulosic electrodes often used in pipe and root pass welding. Additionally, the Auto-Adaptive Arc Force automatically adjusts the arc characteristics to prevent sticking in the puddle, while the Automatic Hot-Start ensures reliable ignition every time.
This Ready-Pak configuration transforms the V155-S into a capable DC TIG welder. It utilizes Touch Start TIG technology, which allows you to establish the arc without high-frequency interference or the risk of tungsten contamination associated with scratch starting. The package includes a PTA-17V TIG torch with a gas valve, a gas regulator, and an accessory kit, providing everything needed to start TIG welding mild and stainless steel immediately.
