FRONIUS IGNIS 180 INVERTER MMA
FRONIUS IGNIS 180
Inverter MMA Power Source
Part number: 4.075.248.039 Includes: 4m electrode cable & 4m earth cable
The Fronius Ignis 180 steps up from the Ignis 150 with higher output while keeping the same go-anywhere portability the Ignis range is built on. It's designed for construction sites, maintenance and repair work, agricultural applications, and home workshops — delivering a stable arc even with long lead lengths, generator power or fluctuating grid voltage.
Ready to weld straight out of the box, the Ignis 180 package comes complete with a 4m electrode cable and 4m earth cable, so there's no need to source cables separately before getting started.

TIG Options Available
While the standard Ignis 180 covers manual electrode and CEL electrode welding, TIG-capable versions of the Ignis range are also available, adding DC TIG welding with Comfort Stop to prevent arc breaks and improve end-crater quality. TIG versions also open up additional functions across the range, including TAC tacking, TIG Pulse, and the TIG Multi Connector system for compatible torches and remote controls. Ask the QWS team about Ignis TIG packages if you need stick and TIG capability from one portable power source.
Why Choose the Ignis 180?
More output, same portability. The step up from the Ignis 150 gives more welding power for heavier stick electrode work, while still weighing in light enough for genuine site-to-site portability.
Goes anywhere, works everywhere. Built for unstable grids, long cable runs and generator-powered sites, the Ignis 180 is designed to deliver a consistent arc in conditions that would compromise a standard inverter.
Ready out of the box. With the electrode and earth cables included, there's no separate cable sourcing required before the machine can be put to work.
Room to grow. For workshops or crews that also need TIG capability, the Ignis TIG versions extend the same portable platform with Comfort Stop, TAC tacking and TIG Pulse — without stepping up to a larger, less mobile machine.
Frequently Asked Questions
What welding processes does the Ignis 180 support? The standard Ignis 180 covers manual (stick/MMA) and CEL electrode welding. TIG DC is available on TIG versions of the range and on the Ignis 250.
Does the Ignis 180 come with cables included? Yes — the package includes a 4m electrode cable and a 4m earth cable, ready to weld on arrival.
Is a TIG version of the Ignis 180 available? Yes — TIG-capable Ignis models add DC TIG welding with Comfort Stop, plus functions like TAC tacking, TIG Pulse and the TIG Multi Connector system.
What's the difference between the Ignis 150 and Ignis 180? The Ignis 180 delivers higher welding output than the 150, suiting heavier stick electrode applications, while both models share the same portable, site-ready design and grid tolerance.
How well does the Ignis 180 handle unstable power or long cable runs? The Ignis is built for exactly this scenario — integrated PFC technology and its inverter design maintain a stable arc with grid leads up to 100 metres and on generator power, making it well suited to remote or unreliable-power sites.
How much does the Ignis 180 weigh? 8.8 kg.
