GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SA-250 is a heavy duty engine driven DC arc welding power source capable of providing constant current output for stick welding or DC TIG welding. With the addition of the optional Wire Feed Module, the SA-250 will provide constant voltage output for running the LN-7 or LN-25 wire feeders.

The SA-250 has a current range of 40-325 DC amps with a 60% duty cycle at 250 amps/40 volts. The units are also capable of providing 3 kVA of 115/230 volt, 60 Hertz AC auxiliary power.

This unit uses the Perkins D3.152 three-cylinder, industrial water-cooled diesel engine.
