Simple

Easy installation with 10 ft. (3 m) work clip lead and user preference quick-connect “pig-tails” for input and electrode weld cables.

Easy setup with only a few intuitive welding controls and lit displays. This includes a single Power/Mode switch with Input level light, and a single presettable Output Control with separate digital meters for Amps and Volts, featuring post-weld five second memory display.

Easy Service with quick-to-replace cable “pig-tails” and “plug-in” assembly modules, including accessi- ble PC boards and interchangeable “plug-n-play” panel instruments.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT AND PROCESSES

MULTI-SYSTEM POWER SOURCE

The Multi-Source 40KW, 80VDC buss power source (K1752-1) is recommended for use in the Multi-Weld system. However, other DC power sources capable of supplying the required system buss current, at above 60 volts, may be used. It is recommended that this power source have lower output inductance (choke) such as the Lincoln Electric DC-1000, DC-655 or DC- 600 set for maximum output in CC mode. The power source output VA capacity should be 10% greater than the sum of the maximum VA of the converter arcs, which may all be simultaneously welding or gouging:
