Impeller Cooling Technology™

High Efficiency Cooling

Conventional-cooling mechanisms for welders rely on a fan to blow through the machine, while Lincoln’s patented Impeller Cooling Technology uses an impeller fan to create a high-pressure chamber. This high-pressure chamber forces airflow across the heated components in the machine cooling the Power Wave AC/DC 1000™ transformer and power switchgear.

What is Coaxial Transformer Technology™?

To transform large amounts of power as is needed for welding, the power source transformer is a critical factor. Traditional transformers become more inefficient the larger they become. This becomes a problem especially for large power sources (i.e. submerged arc power sources). If the transformer becomes inefficient, it requires more power to be dissipated in all of the components before the trans- former. This results in a drastically reduced overall efficiency, compo- nents that run at higher temperatures, and reduced reliability.

Coaxial Transformer Technology eliminates these problems. Regardless of the size (power level) a coaxial transformer has superior coupling and efficiency. This is obtained through the coaxial orientation of the primary and secondary windings.

The benefits for the customer include:

• Higher power capabilities (submerged arc inverters)

• Higher efficiency (reduced energy costs)

• Higher reliability (lower stresses on components)

Industry-leading Efficiency, Power Factor and Input Current Draw

Reduce Energy Spending!

The Power Wave® AC/DC 1000 has better efficiency and a higher Power Factor than the Summit Arc 1000™. Two Power Wave® AC/DC 1000 machines can be installed for

the same capacity that it takes to install one Summit Arc 1000™.
