Asked Questions — Kemppi Master T 355 DC G AU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does DC G AU mean on the Kemppi Master T 355?\u003c\/strong\u003e DC indicates this is a DC-only TIG welder — it supports DC TIG and MMA welding, but not AC TIG. G indicates it is generator-compatible, rated for generator power supply with a minimum 20 kVA generator. AU indicates the Australian market version, which includes an Australian mains plug and has the VRD (Voltage Reduction Device) permanently locked on to comply with Australian workplace health and safety requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the Kemppi Master T 355 DC G AU weld aluminium?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The Master T 355 DC G AU supports DC TIG welding only. Aluminium and aluminium alloys require AC TIG welding. For AC\/DC TIG capability including aluminium welding, see the Kemppi Master T 355 ACDC G AU, which also includes MAX WeldClean and DeMagnetization mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat materials can the Master T 355 DC G AU weld?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Master T 355 DC G AU is suited to DC TIG welding of stainless steel, mild steel, carbon steel, chrome-moly (Cr-Mo) alloys, copper alloys, titanium, and most other ferrous and non-ferrous metals that weld in DC mode. It also supports MMA (stick) welding with electrodes from 1.6 mm to 6 mm diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the duty cycle of the Master T 355 DC G AU?\u003c\/strong\u003e At its maximum rated TIG output of 350 A, the machine operates at a 30% duty cycle. At 230 A it delivers a 60% duty cycle, and at 190 A it runs continuously at 100% duty cycle. For MMA welding, the maximum output of 270 A is available at 35% duty cycle, with 190 A available at 100% continuous.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat generator size does the Master T 355 DC G AU require?\u003c\/strong\u003e Kemppi recommends a minimum generator output of \u003cstrong\u003e20 kVA\u003c\/strong\u003e to power the Master T 355 DC G AU at full welding capacity on a 3-phase 400 V supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is VRD and why is it locked on in the AU model?\u003c\/strong\u003e VRD stands for Voltage Reduction Device. When active, it reduces the open-circuit MMA voltage from 50 V to 23 V, significantly lowering the risk of electric shock when the arc is not struck. The AU model has VRD permanently engaged to comply with Australian workplace health and safety legislation — particularly important for welding in confined spaces, on construction sites, and in wet or hazardous environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the Master T 355 DC G AU and the Master T 355 DC G?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both models are identical in welding performance, features, and specifications. The AU variant is factory-configured for the Australian market with an Australian mains plug fitted as standard, VRD permanently locked on, and compliance with AS 60974.1-2020. The non-AU model does not have VRD locked on and is not fitted with an Australian plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Master T 355 DC G AU come with a control panel?\u003c\/strong\u003e The power source is sold separately from the control panel, allowing customers to select the interface that best suits their workflow. Options include traditional touch-button control panels or the optional full-colour 7\" TFT panel with 99 memory channels per welding process, Weld Assist, and full waveform customisation capability. The 7\" TFT panel is protected by a 3 mm armour shield plate for workshop durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Master T 355 DC G AU compatible with WeldEye?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The machine is compatible with Kemppi's WeldEye cloud-based welding quality management platform, supporting digital WPS management, welding data recording, welder qualification tracking, and full project traceability — essential for fabrication to AS\/NZS, ISO, or ASME welding standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Double Pulse TIG welding on the Master T 355 DC G AU?\u003c\/strong\u003e Double Pulse is an advanced welding mode that alternates between two pulse cycles during DC TIG welding. It delivers up to 30% faster welding travel speeds and 20% lower heat input compared to conventional pulsed TIG — reducing distortion, improving weld appearance, and increasing productivity on stainless steel, chrome-moly, and other alloy applications where heat management is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kemppi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47867736817815,"sku":"MST355DCGAU","price":6380.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0301\/8663\/5399\/files\/2157853_cb8e3660-45eb-4c35-8827-90093a0c4fad.webp?v=1780871375","url":"https:\/\/www.weldingsupply.com.au\/products\/kemppi-master-t-355-dc-g-au","provider":"QWS - Welding Supply Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
