See CONTROL AND ELECTRODE CABLE INSTAL- LATION for cable installation instructions.

CONTROL CABLE SPECIFICATIONS

It is recommended that only genuine Lincoln control cables be used at all times. Lincoln cables are specifi- cally designed for the communication and power needs of the Power Wave 455 / Power Feed system. The use of non-standard cables, especially in lengths greater than 25 feet(7.6m), can lead to communication problems (system shutdowns), poor motor accelera- tion (poor arc starting) and low wire driving force (wire feeding problems).

Lincoln control cables are copper 5 conductor cable in a SO-type rubber jacket. There is one 20 gauge twist- ed pair for network communications. This pair has an impedance of approximately 120 ohms and a propa- gation delay per foot of less than 2.1 nanoseconds. There are two 12 gauge conductors that are used to supply the 40 VDC to the network. The fifth wire is 18 gauge and is used as an electrode sense lead.

AVAILABLE CABLE ASSEMBLIES

K1543 Control cable only. Available in lengths of 8', 16', 25', 50' and 100'.

K1544 Control cable and a 3/0 (85 mm2 ) electrode cable with stud terminal. It is rated at 600 amps, 60% duty cycle and is available in lengths of 8', 16', 25', and 50'.

K1545 Control cable and a 3/0 (85 mm2) electrode cable with Twist-Mate™ connector on one end and a stud terminal on the other. It is rated at 500 amps, 60% duty cycle and is available in lengths of 8', 16', 25', and 50'.

ELECTRODE CABLE CONNECTIONS

Most welding applications run with the electrode being positive (+). For those applications, connect the elec- trode cable between the wire feeder and the positive

(+)output stud on the power source (located beneath the spring loaded output cover near the bottom of the case front).

A work lead must be run from the negative (-) power source output stud to the work piece. The work piece connection must be firm and secure, especially if pulse welding is planned. Excessive voltage drops at the work piece connection often result in unsatisfacto- ry pulse welding performance.

When negative electrode polarity is required, such as in some Innershield™ applications, install as above, except change the output connections at the power source (electrode cable to the negative (-) stud, and work cable to the positive (+) stud).
