Product Number: 05694
Variations
Weld and steel from the same machine. HF (high-frequency) arc start provides clean, contactless ignition without tungsten contamination.
Duty cycle: @ 20°C: 160A @ 30% (TIG) / 160A @ 30% (MMA).
HF arc start. EU Regulation 2019/1784 compliant.
Features:
Suitable for welding mild steel. suited to workshop, fabrication, home environments.
Fan-assisted cooling manages operating temperature during sustained welding. Automatic thermal overload protection cuts output if the machine exceeds safe temperature. Covered by SIP's 2-Year Standard Silver Warranty. For operators comparing AC/DC TIG welders for and steel, the 05694 provides both AC output for and DC output for mild steel and stainless steel in a single machine — no need for separate dedicated units. IGBT inverter technology delivers a smoother arc with lower power consumption than older transformer-based designs. Replacement consumables including contact tips, nozzles, and electrodes for the 05694 are available at PartsForMachines.com. Refer to the operating manual for full setup instructions, safety information, and recommended maintenance intervals.
Additional Information:
The SIP WELDMATE® PRO 160A DC TIG/ARC Inverter Welder is a dual process inverter welder specifically designed for use in professional fabrication workshops, sheet metal applications and home workshops.
Powerful, compact and lightweight, this inverter welder also features high frequency start-up for easy arc striking, which helps to achieve cleaner and higher quality welds by avoiding electrode contact with the workpiece when initiating the arc.
Fully compliant with Reg EU 2019/1784 (Eco Design for Welding Equipment), this welder features a 4th generation inverter which is above 80% energy efficient. This means it uses less power at the same output as older inverters, helping to lower operating costs.

A. The 05694 supports TIG welding, ARC/MMA stick welding. Output spans 10A - 160A (TIG) / 10A - 140A (MMA) across all modes. Suitable for mild steel.
A. The 05694 requires a 230V / 16A supply. If you are unsure whether your supply is adequate, consult a qualified electrician before installation.
A. The 05694 has a duty cycle of 20°C: 160A @ 30% (TIG) / 160A @ 30% (MMA). Duty cycle is measured over a 10-minute period — a 60% duty cycle means 6 minutes of continuous welding followed by a 4-minute cool-down. Operating at lower amperages increases available run time.
A. The 05694 is supplied with the accessories needed to start welding — check the product listing for the complete included items. Additional consumables for the 05694 are available at PartsForMachines.com.
A. The 05694 is primarily designed for workshop use. Check the specification for weight and portability details.
A. The 05694 is primarily suited to mild steel.
A. The 05694 uses high-frequency (HF) arc start, which ignites the arc without the tungsten electrode touching the workpiece. This prevents tungsten contamination and weld porosity — important for quality TIG work on stainless steel and precision applications.
A. The 05694 does not include a foot pedal as standard. A compatible foot pedal may be available as an optional accessory — check the product listing for compatible accessories.
A. TIG produces the cleanest, most precise welds — ideal for stainless steel, thin sheet, and visible joints where appearance matters. ARC/MMA is faster for thicker sections and suits outdoor or on-site work. The 05694 lets you switch between TIG and ARC to match the job.
