QUOTE "Normally, if you loose an IGBT, it will take out the other which might take them all out. So things look real bad because of that. With the power they pump out, if there is a failure, there will be smoke and noise in most cases.
I've not seen one like that as well, but Eric's guys will get you up and running." --Everlast Support Team

now from 'Farmer,
I've started this thread with a quote taken from another because I'm curious and maybe other future buyers might be wondering the same thing. (If the Mods decide this info would be just bad marketing, feel free to delete it).
All the newer machines in your line-up use IGBT technology, and I would like to know how the problem/failure rate compares to past Mosfet designs. If they could be categorized by model, all the better (or even just by type- MIG,TIG,Multi, Plasma). I don't expect to see real numbers soon, but a general reply would be good for now. I love my PP256 and hope it lives a long and happy life!
