Rugged, reliable performance and superior arc characteristics.
DC power source, with a rugged simple design for maximum durability and ease of use.
Superior performance arc control technology provides the
operator with a smooth and low-spatter, class-leading arc
suitable for a wide variety of applications.
Fan-cooled design provides efficient cooling in the most
demanding environments.
Industrial-rated components and construction designed for
long-lasting, trouble-free performance.
Lifting eyelets provide a safe means of lifting the power source.
Industrial running gear designed for a variety of terrain.
Includes handle/cable carrier and rubber tyres for smooth and
easy manoeuverability.
Easy-to-use interface allows the operator to select the correct
range to suit the desired electrode.
Ergonomic design. Angled controls make reading and
parameter adjustments easier.
Quick-connect weld terminals provide simple, convenient and
robust connection of weld cables.
Built-in arc control lets you get in tight without sticking
the electrode.
Hot Start
™
makes it easy to start difficult stick electrodes such
as E-6010 and E-7018.
Enclosed circuit boards provide additional protection from
contaminants resulting in longer service life.
Thermal overload protection light indicates power shutdown.
Helps prevent machine damage if the duty cycle is exceeded
or airflow is blocked.
Fan-On-Demand
™
cooling system operates only when needed,
reducing noise, energy use and the amount of contaminates
pulled through the machine.
115 V duplex receptacle provides 15 amps of auxiliary power.
Power efficient for exceptional value and return on
your investment.
Remote control capability.
Optional digital volt and amp meters. Easy to install,
front-panel mount. 300359 for models after KG283595 and
300321 for models after MF100119C.
