Stick Welding up to 250 Amps

The new three-phase Fronius Ignis 250 extends the existing Ignis 150/180 series, offering maximum flexibility for electrode welding up to 250 A, optimally implementing welding tasks with higher material thicknesses or those requiring large electrodes.

The Fronius Ignis 250 impresses with its user-friendliness. The larger control panel and clearly arranged buttons make control easy and intuitive, even when wearing protective gloves.

The Fronius Ignis series is known for being flexible, robust, and made for everyday welding. The new Ignis 250 expands the product portfolio with a powerful device that enables manual arc welding to be performed with up to 250 A anytime and anywhere. In addition to the familiar functions of the more compact models, the Ignis 250 boasts higher performance, greater ease of operation, and an extended XT version for worldwide use.

Each welding task brings its own specific requirements, but the weld quality always has to come first and, depending on the application, also look good. Welders face challenges in the form of varied environmental influences, hard-to-reach areas, or voltage fluctuations in the power grid, especially during maintenance and servicing tasks or assembly work. The Ignis series helps to successfully master welding tasks under adverse conditions and keep the arc stable. With the Ignis 250, this is now also possible for larger welding tasks that require more power—without compromising on functionality or user-friendliness.

Ready for any challenge: flexible Stick welding up to 250 amps

“When it comes to Stick welding, welders are confronted with an increasingly diverse range of tasks and materials. This calls for devices that meet these requirements in terms of performance,” says Michael Eisterhuber, product manager at Fronius, providing insights into the development process.

The three-phase Ignis 250 extends the existing Ignis 150/180 series upward and offers maximum flexibility for electrode welding up to 250 A. This means that welding tasks with higher material thicknesses or those requiring large electrodes can also be optimally implemented. Combined with the familiar Ignis functions such as HotStart, SoftStart, anti-stick, MMA Pulse, or TrackingArc, the new Ignis 250 guarantees a stable arc and high-quality results—whether high up, far below, or in hard-to-reach places.

The Fronius Ignis is available in country-specific variants. With the extended version (XT for short), it can be used worldwide due to the 200V – 600V input voltage range and single-phase 230V operation and can be operated with generators without any problems.

User-friendly control panel for optimum overview

Repairs often have to be carried out quickly. Simple setting and reading of the welding parameters makes handling easier. Thanks to the new user-friendly control panel of the Ignis 250, welders have everything clearly in view and can change settings intuitively. The favorites button brings the most important welding parameters to the first menu level for quick and convenient access. In addition, up to five EasyJobs (i.e., current welding-relevant settings) can be saved. A welding current display on the new interface also enables precise control during the entire welding process.

Robust and future-proof: ideal for outdoor use

The Fronius Ignis 250 not only impresses with its perfect welds and easy handling: Due to its robust design is the perfect companion for (outdoor) use in harsh environments. The high-quality materials and sturdy housing ensure an extremely long service life. Like all Fronius devices, the Ignis 250 is future-proof. Stick welding systems are often exposed to high levels of wear and environmental influences. It is therefore particularly important that all the components are easily accessible and can be serviced or repaired quickly in the event of a failure.
