Inverter technology will be the norm as transformers get phased out.*

Yeah in general (outside of the welding field which I know very little about), inverters are cheaper and they are known for switching DC from green power to AC.

I'm sure the inverter inside the Millermatic 190 is made in China to their standards.

Miller will have to keep coming up with unique engineering innovations, preferably patented, or it's all over.


Miller's inverters, including for the 190 and all others, are made by
Miller's Semiconductor Department in Appleton, WI.

Semiconductor components, as with all electronics made everywhere, are
sourced from all over the world. But the inverter assemblies are made
right here in the U.S.

You probably picked that up from one of the blog idiots. All Miller
machines made in China are sold in Asia. I'm in contact with them
every week.

Wrong again slow Eddy. Miller has welders made with Chinese inverter power supplies. You probably got your misinformation from lack of real hands on experience with Miller welders.


Cite? This will be news to Miller, and I'd like to fill them in. I'll
be spending time with several of them next week in Atlanta, and I'm
sure they'd like to get the latest news.
