GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Commander 400 is a diesel engine driven welding power source. The machine uses a brushless asyn- chronous alternating current generator for DC stick electrode welding and for 120/240 VAC auxiliary standby power. As a generator it can supply up to 10,000 watts of 120/240 volt AC power. As a welder it provides up to 400 amps of DC constant current output in six slope-controlled ranges. In addition a seventh general purpose welding range provides up to 575 amps of constant current welding output.

The engine is a 44.2 Hp (33kw), 3-cylinder air/oil cooled diesel made by Deutz. This naturally aspirated, 4 cycle engine features direct injection, a Bosch in-line injection pump and a Bosch mechanical governor.

This machine is controlled by a high quality microcon- troller. The microcontroller provides high speed control of the weld process as well as the engine protection features.
