RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS

WELDER

The SAE-400 provides excellent constant current DC welding output for stick (SMAW) welding. The field installed optional CV Adapter (K385-[ ]) provides up to 500 amps at 35 volts of constant voltage output for semiautomatic welding.

AUXILIARY POWER

The SAE-400 provides 3 KW of 115/230 VAC output for auxiliary power and emergency standby power.

DESIGN FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES

FOR STICK WELDING

•Excellent DC constant current output for stick weld- ing applications.

•Continuous adjustment of both voltage and current for unsurpassed welds on demanding jobs.

•Remote control capability standard.

FOR AUXILIARY POWER

•3,000 watts of 115/230 VAC, 60 Hz auxiliary power.

•One 20 amp 115 VAC duplex receptacle for up to 26 amps of 115 VAC power.

•One 15 amp, 230 VAC duplex receptacle for up to 13 amps of 230 VAC power.

•Weld and AC auxiliary power at the same time (with- in the limits shown on the chart below).

OTHER FEATURES

•Perkins 4-cylinder, water cooled diesel engine. Designed for long life, easy maintenance and excel- lent fuel economy.

•Engine protection system shuts the engine down for low engine oil pressure or high coolant temperature.

•Electronic Engine Idler. Engine automatically goes to low idle in 10 to 14 seconds after welding or use of auxiliary power stops. Includes high idle switch.

•Gauges for engine oil pressure, coolant temperature and battery charging ammeter.

•Engine hour meter standard.

•Extended range 22.5 gallon (85.1 L) fuel tank.

DUTY CYCLE

Duty cycle is the percentage of time the load is being applied in a 10 minute period. For example a 60% duty cycle, represents 6 minutes of load and 4 minutes of no load in a 10 minute period.
