PROCEDURE

1.Conduct this procedure with the engine OFF.

2.With the 5/16” and 3/8” nut drivers, carefully remove the left and right case sides. Note that the output rectifier is divided into two parts. The positive portion is located on the lower right side and the negative portion on the lower left side of the machine.

For the remaining steps, refer to Figure F.17.

3.With the 1/2” wrench, remove the diode pig- tails and heavy leads from the terminal studs. Note lead and washer placement: nut, split washer, flat washer, leads. Label leads for reassembly. See the Wiring Diagram.

4.With the 1/2” wrench, remove the two heavy leads and one small lead from the rectifier heat sink plate. Note that the small lead is always on top for reassembly.

5.With the 7/16” wrench, remove the nut and washers holding the top stud assembly to the rectifier mounting bolts.

6.With the 7/16” wrench, remove the nuts, lock washers, and flat washers from the two top mounting bolts. Note insulator placement.

7.With the 3/8” nut driver, remove the two bot- tom mounting screws. Note the placement of the nylon and Nomex insulators. These must be in place when you reinstall the rectifier bridge assembly in order to elec- trically insulate the bridge from the frame.

8.Clear the leads and carefully remove the heat sink assembly.

9.Repeat the above procedure to remove the other half of the output rectifier.

SVM148-B specifications

The Lincoln Electric SVM148-B is a state-of-the-art inverter-based power source designed for both professional welders and hobbyists. As a versatile machine, it excels in a variety of welding applications including MIG, TIG, and stick welding. This machine is particularly notable for its efficiency and portability, making it an ideal choice for on-site projects or workshops where space is limited.

One of the main features of the SVM148-B is its inverter technology. Unlike traditional transformer-based welders, inverter welders are typically lighter and more compact. This means that users can transport the machine more easily without sacrificing power or performance. The SVM148-B is capable of delivering a substantial amperage range, allowing for adjustments that suit various materials and thicknesses, from thin sheet metal to thicker plates.

The machine offers adjustable output levels, providing precise control over the welding process. This level of control is essential for achieving clean, strong welds and is especially useful when working with different materials. The SVM148-B is equipped with digital display features that provide real-time feedback on power settings and welding parameters, allowing welders to make quick adjustments as needed.

Another significant advantage of the SVM148-B is its duty cycle, which is designed to accommodate extended usage without overheating. A robust duty cycle means that professionals can rely on this machine for prolonged periods, making it a dependable choice for heavy-duty tasks.

The SVM148-B also includes advanced safety features such as overload protection, which ensures that the machine will shut down in the event of excessive current draw. This feature not only protects the equipment but also enhances user safety during operation.

Moreover, the machine is compatible with a wide variety of welding wires and electrodes, adding to its versatility. Whether you're working with stainless steel, aluminum, or mild steel, the SVM148-B can adapt seamlessly.

In conclusion, the Lincoln Electric SVM148-B combines advanced inverter technology with user-friendly features, making it an invaluable addition to any welding setup. Its portability, control options, robust duty cycle, and safety measures set it apart as a reliable and efficient welding solution for professionals and hobbyists alike. Whether for a small workshop or large industrial applications, the SVM148-B meets the demands of modern welding with efficiency and ease.
