QUALITY AND RELIABILITY

Robust Design

Safety, reliability and serviceability are built into Lincoln’s inverter design.

Invertec inverter models operate at a high efficiency (88-90%) with a 95% minimum power factor at rated output and are capable of operating from a universal 3 phase input voltage (208 to 575 volts).

Thermostatically protected.

Electronic output over-current protection and electronic input over-voltage protection.

Operating Temperature Range: -20ºC to +40ºC.

Storage Temperature Range: -40ºC to +40ºC.

Double insulation and varnish on main transformer.

Shielded heavy duty input contactor in tightly sealed environmental enclosure.

Tough PC Boards — potted and trayed, filled with epoxy, double locked harness connectors, environmentally protected connectors, electrical silicone grease, high current rating. Extra attention to detail provides excellent protection from dirt, dust and the environment.

Efficient Cooling System with industrial motor with sealed bearings and metal fan blade.

Fan-As-Needed— reduces power consumption, damaging thermal cycling and the amount of debris that gets drawn into the machine by shutting the fan down when it is not needed.

Open Construction for preventative

maintenance and diagnostics.

Automotive Grade Sleeves protect leads from abrasion.

Efficient Cooling System with Fan-As-Needed.

Electrical Connections coated with protective compound for long-term reliability in harsh environments.

Trayed and Potted PC Board provides excellent protection.
