MULTI-PROCESS WELDERS

DC-400

400 Amp DC Multi-Process Welding Power Source

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. It's a great choice for arc gouging too. And flexibility doesn’t mean complicated – the DC-400 is easy to set-up and use. Changeover between processes is as simple as turning a switch with the factory or field installed multi-process switch. On-board ammeter and voltmeter make monitoring of key welding parameters a snap. Inductance and arc force controls allow the operator to efficiently refine the arc for the job at hand.

Advantage Lincoln

•Large, conveniently located switch makes it easy to change between CC (Stick/TIG/arc gouging), CV (MIG/flux-cored) and CV Submerged Arc modes.

•Arc force control adjusts short circuit current for a soft arc or a forceful driving arc in the CC (Stick/TIG) mode.

•Arc control adjustment changes pinch effect of the arc to control spatter, fluidity, and bead shape in the MIG/Flux-Cored mode.

•Capable of stick and DC TIG welding, and air carbon arc gouging with up to 5/16" (8mm) diameter carbon rods.

•Solid state circuitry provides extra long life for repetitive welding applications.

•Outstanding welding performance with a single range full output control potentiometer.

•Analog ammeter/voltmeter are standard.

•± 10% input line voltage compensation for maintain- ing weld consistency.

•Low profile case allows stacking machines up to three high to conserve floor space. (Stacking not recommended when using undercarriage.)
