Idealarc®DC-400
This heavy-duty, industrial, three-phase multi-process power source from Lincoln Electric®

scores big in MIG, flux-cored, submerged arc, stick and DC TIG welding.

DC Multi-Process Welding Power Source

Idealarc®DC-600

Rugged construction, simple controls and plenty of amperage for heavy duty applications

on thick steel or other materials make this welder a sound investment.

Rugged Multi-Process Power for Industrial Manufacturing

115V, 15 amps, duplex auxiliary power receptacle
(60Hz models) makes it easy to power lights, grinders
and other shop tools at your work station.
Full range output voltage controlfor easy
operation and precise control.
Standard analog ammeter and voltmeter.
Mode switchfor selecting desired output
characteristics.
Windings and rectifiersprotected against
moisture and corrosive environments.
Flat-top casewith a small footprint can be
placed under a workbench or stacked up
to 3 high on top of each other.
Three-year warrantyon parts and labor.
Seven-year warrantyon power rectifier.

Large, conveniently located switchmakes it easy
to change between CC (Stick/TIG/arc gouging), CV
(MIG/flux-cored) and CV Submerged Arc modes.
Arc force controladjusts short circuit current for a soft
arc or a forceful driving arc in the CC (Stick/TIG) mode.
Arc control adjustmentchanges pinch effect of
the arc to control spatter, fluidity, and bead shape
in the MIG/Flux-Cored mode.
Solid state circuitryprovides extra long life for
repetitive welding applications.
±10% input line voltage compensationfor
maintaining weld consistency.
Low profile caseallows stacking machines
up to three high to conserve floor space.
Three-year warrantyon parts and labor.
Seven-year warrantyon power rectifier.
