Power your welding with instagrid – 18 000 peak power and high power quality

With instagrid ONE max you can power any 230V welding machine from electrode to precision welding – simple as that. With high peak power levels and extraordinary power quality, you can rely to always have enough power for your tool and to get quality level welding. We tested a bunch of different welding machines with instagrid ONE max – so, let’s dive deeper on the most beneficial instagrid product features when it comes to metalwork and welding.

High-quality welding

The welding quality is often a crucial part in the metalwork process, and power quality affects the welding quality greatly. With instagrid’s pure sine power quality, your welding quality will be even better as if you would power your tool from the wall socket. instagrid ONE max delivers a pure and constant sine wave that allows the welder to operate seamlessly without current interruptions that occur when using generators.

Power your workday

With instagrid’s 2.1 kWh energy capacity, you can power your entire workday of welding. Depending on the Amp, with one charge of instagrid ONE max you can power your welding tool for about one to two hours constantly. As the instagrid ONE max doesn’t have idling, there is no waste of energy and no emissions during your work process. You don’t need to turn the battery off when you are doing preparation work: the runtime estimation for tools is truly only about the actual work time. In case you need more energy during the day, instagrid ONE max can be charged to 100% in less than 3 hours; when working with two units, you can power your entire project. From here you can download the detailed spec sheet for welding and metalwork equipment runtimes with instagrid ONE max.

No need for oversized generators

When using a generator as a power source, you often need to oversize your generator when working with tools requiring high peak powers, like welding equipment, which leads to a significant increase in the cost of the project. With instagrid’s 18 000 W peak power you don’t need to think about that. No need for an oversized, loud, heavy generator anymore for powering your 230 V welding tools.

Complete silence, and zero local emissions

instagrid ONE max has zero local emissions, and when charged with renewable energy, it can have even bigger reduction in overall emissions during the welding process. Especially when it comes to powering welding, the emission reduction can be major when replacing the oversized generators with an efficient power source. You can make a rough calculation of your emission savings when replacing a generator with instagrid ONE max here.

Summary: Benefits on welding with instagrid ONE max

  1. High-quality welding

    instagrid’s pure sine power quality is better than your wall socket – with high power quality your welding quality will be better.

  2. No idling – no waste of energy

    The instagrid ONE max doesn’t have idling, so there is no waste of energy. No need to turn the battery off during preparation work: the runtime estimation for tools is only about the actual work time.

  3. No need for over dimensioning

    With instagrid’s high peak power levels and 3 600 W rated output, you can successfully power any 230 V tool.

  4. Flexibility

    One-handed portability (weight 20 kg) of instagrid allows you to work anywhere on your structure without considering cabling or emission pollution.
