2.0 INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION
2.01 General Information
This manual is intended to be a guide to the understanding of the 300AP
welding machine
and process requirements. The application outlined is typical and serves only to illustrate
and explain the relationship of power source to the process. Selecting the correct power
source depends upon process requirements.
This manual will concentrate only on safety and the operational aspects of the welding power
source.
2.02 Welding Machine Description
The 300AP is as an inverter based DC Power Source Unit that is powered from an external
source of 208/230 or 460 VAC, single or three phase power. The 300AP is capable of
providing Constant Current (CC) output characteristics. The 300AP is also equipped with a
lift arc starter for use with Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) as well as user settable Hot
Start and Arc Control functions for use with Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process.
The unit is equipped with a digital Amperage/Voltage meter and Output Contactor and
Output Control functions that that are conveniently located on the front control panel. The
300AP incorporates a high-performance microcontroller to achieve complete digital control.
The 300AP is designed with a flame and impact resistant non-conductive plastic case
enclosure.
The 300AP is equipped with a water pressure sensor switch, that when used properly will
reduce torch burn-up cause by inadequate water flow thru water cooled torches.
