MMA Welding Equipment
MMA welding requires a power supply, a ground cable and a welding cable equipped with the electrode holder. There is no shielding gas, as the welding electrode is coated with a material that produces shielding gas and slag over the molten weld pool. Many TIG welding machines are also suitable for MMA welding.
Today’s small inverter power sources further increase mobility and reach ability. The power supply can, for example, be connected to a generator with long input cables, taking the welding machine next to the work piece. The smallest power sources currently weigh only 5 kg (10 lbs).
MMA welding is rather popular in hobbyist use as the only required parts are the power source and the welding electrodes. No shielding gas is required, and the devices usually operate with the current obtained from a regular residential power outlet.
