SECTION 2 DESCRIPTION 2.1 GENERAL This manual provides information to familiarize the operator with the design, installation and operation of the 653cvcc model power source. DO NOT attempt to install or operate this equipment until you have read and fully understand these instructions.
2.4.2 Swivel Mount Kit (Item No. 36172) This kit allows ESAB wire feeders with swivel base mounts to be mounted to the top of the power source on an insulated swivel mount. This allows the feeder to freely rotate, relieving potential wire feed problems while increasing the working area of the torch.
SECTION 3 INSTALLATION 3.1 LOCATION A proper installation site is necessary for the power source to provide dependable service. A proper installation site permits freedom of air movement through the unit while minimizing exposure to dust, dirt, moisture, and corrosive vapors. A mini- mum of 18 inches (46 cm) is required between the side and rear panels of the power source and the nearest obstruction.
SECTION 3 INSTALLATION PRIMARY (INPUT) ELECTRICAL CONNECTION This power source is a three-phase unit and must be connected to a three-phase power supply. It is recommended that the unit be operated on a dedicated circuit to prevent impairment of performance due to an overloaded circuit. ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! BEFORE MAKING ELECTRICAL INPUT CONNECTIONS TO THE POWER SOURCE, "MACHINERY LOCKOUT PROCEDURES"...
Page 23
SECTION 3 INSTALLATION THE CHASSIS MUST BE CONNECTED TO AN APPROVED ELECTRICAL WARNING GROUND. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK, SEVERE BURNS OR DEATH. Recommended Cable Strip Lengths C. Thread the properly stripped input and ground conduc- tors through the large strain relief in the rear panel of the power source.
Page 24
SECTION 3 INSTALLATION E. Figures 3-2, 3-3 & 3-4 illustrate the input voltage terminal board and the input voltage link connections. The particular voltages from which this power source may be operated are stated on the rating plate. The voltage links were factory set for highest voltage stated on the rating plate.
SECTION 3 INSTALLATION OUTPUT WELDING CONNECTIONS (SECONDARY) BEFORE MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS TO THE POWER SOURCE OUT WARNING PUT TERMINALS, MAKE SURE THAT ALL PRIMARY INPUT POWER TO THE MACHINE IS OFF. The output connections are located on the front panel (Figure 3-5). The negative connection is located at the bottom right corner and the positive (high inductance and low inductance) connections are located at the bottom left corner.
Page 26
The Wire feeder control cable connection is provided by a 19-pin receptacle (J1) located on the left-hand side of the power source front panel. This receptacle will operate all ESAB wire feeders with 19 pin control cables including the Mig 2E, Mig 4HD, Mig 4HD Dual, Mig 5XL, Mig 28A, Mig 35, Digimig, Digimig Dual as well as the UEC-8, Digimatic II and Analog Interface mechanized controls.

SECTION 4 OPERATION Never operate the power source with the cover removed. In addition to the safety hazards, improper cooling may cause damage to the CAUTION components. Keep side panels closed when unit is energized. Weld- ing helmet, gloves, and other personal protection should always be worn when welding.
Page 30
SECTION 4 OPERATION 4.1.3 Output Voltage/Current Control This control allows the operator to adjust the output voltage in the CV mode and output current in the CC mode. Placing the Panel/Remote switch in the “Remote” position disables the output control on the front panel. Calibration marks are to provide a rough guide in setting voltage and current.
SECTION 4 OPERATION 4.2 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION Prior to performing the steps below, open the wall disconnect switch or remove the fuse from the fuse box to electrically isolate the power source. ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! "MACHINERY LOCKOUT PROCEDURES" SHOULD BE EMPLOYED. IF IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO USE PADLOCKS, WARNING ATTACH A RED TAG TO THE LINE DISCONNECT SWITCH OR FUSE BOX WARNING OTHERS THAT THE CIRCUIT IS BEING WORKED ON.
Page 32
SECTION 4 OPERATION F. After setting the desired voltage condition, turn the contactor switch back to the “remote” position. This position requires a remote start control in order to start the welding sequence. NOTE: A PCB and resistor pack discharges capacitor voltage to eliminate the electrode "sparking" or "arcing" potential.
SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE 5.1 General If this power source does not operate properly, stop work immedi- ately and investigate the cause of the malfunction. Maintenance CAUTION work must be performed by an experienced person, and electrical work by a trained electrician. Do not permit untrained persons to inspect, clean, or repair this power source.
SECTION 5 MAINTENANCE 5.3 Inspection and Service Keep the power source dry, free of oil and grease, and protected at all times from damage by hot metal and sparks. 5.3.1 Fan Motor Keep the fan motor free of accumulated dust and lint. 5.3.2 Transformer Other than periodically cleaning the dust and dirt from the transformer, no maintenance is required.
SECTION 6 TROUBLESHOOTING 6.1 General DISCONNECT PRIMARY POWER AT WALL SWITCH, OR CIRCUIT WARNING BREAKER, BEFORE ATTEMPTING INSPECTION OR WORK INSIDE THE POWER SOURCE. If the power source is operating improperly, the following troubleshooting information may be used to locate the source of the trouble.
SECTION 6 TROUBLESHOOTING ELECTRICAL SERVICE AND REPAIR SHOULD BE ATTEMPTED ONLY BY WARNING A TRAINED ELECTRICIAN. Tighten the bolts evenly until finger tight noting that the nuts are not rotating. Tighten the bolts 3/4 turn plus an 1/8 turn using a socket wrench on the bolt heads and rotating only in 1/4 turn incre- ments plus 1/8 turn alternating between the bolts noting that the nuts are not rotating.
Page 37
SECTION 6 TROUBLESHOOTING Table 6-2. Troubleshooting Guide CONDITION ACTION Unit Inoperative No input power. Check main line (user’s) switch fuses — replace if needed. Poor or improper input (terminal board) connections. Defective on/off switch — replace. Thermal light on. Main transformer overheating. Also check for proper cooling, proper primary hookup, or shorted turn on secondary.
Ordering To ensure proper operation, it is recommended that only genuine ESAB parts and products be used with this equipment. The use of non-ESAB parts may void your warranty. Replacement parts may be ordered from your ESAB Distributor.
