Now at 10 views.

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.

Just checked with Justin in tech at Miller. The 190 is made in the
USA from Chinese parts. Miller also has a Chinese division which
does make the inverter power supplies in China.

To be more specific the 190 inverter power supply is assembled in
the USA from Chinese parts.

Well, that's what I said, you idiot. The "Chinese parts" probably
are
some of the semiconductor components.

Miller has their own department for making inverter units, right in
their Appleton plant.

The PRC is not the only source of "Chinese parts":

Maybe those inverters are made in Banqueristan.
