WARNING ARC WELDING AND CUTTING CAN BE INJURIOUS TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. TAKE PRECAU- TIONS WHEN WELDING. ASK FOR YOUR EMPLOYER’S SAFETY PRACTICES WHICH SHOULD BE BASED ON MANUFACTURERS’ HAZARD DATA. ELECTRIC SHOCK − Can kill Install and earth the welding unit in accordance with applicable standards. Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or wet clothing.
INTRODUCTION ESABMig C240 & ESABMig C240s are step controlled power sources in a compact design, intended for welding with solid steel, stainless steel or aluminium wire as well as tubular wire with or without shielding gas. The possibility of welding with homogeneous wire/shielding gas and welding with gasless tubular wire is obtained by switching the + and −...
Duty cycle The duty cycle refers to the time as a percentage of a ten−minute period that you can weld at a cer- tain load without overloading. Enclosure class The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i. e. the degree of protection against penetration by solid objects or water.
WARNING! During transport, the rear wheels of the power source are in their forward position. Before use, place the wheels in their rear position. Electrical installation − 7 − C240e...
Check that the unit is connected to the correct mains power supply voltage, and that it is protected by the correct fuse size. A protective earth connection must be made, in accordance with regulations. Rating plate with supply connection data ESABMig C240/C240s 3∼ 50/60 Hz 3∼ 50/60 Hz Voltage V...

Higher inductance produces a more flowing weld and fewer spatters. Lower inductance produces a harsher sound and a stable, concentrated arc. ESABMig C240 The ESABMig C240 is equipped with standard control unit. Welder can manually select and adjust all welding parameters. Wire speed (1,9 − 19m/min).
ESABMig C240s the standard control (welder can manually select and adjust all welding parameters) − switch “SYNERGY” [16] set to OFF the synergy control (partly preprogrammed welding parameters) − switch “SYNERGY” [16] set to any material/gas group The stroke control (2/4 stroke) or motor inching (only wire feed motor is activated) is selected with switch [19].
Digital display [11] shows values depending on display selectors [12, 13] and machine status. Before welding start: the upper display shows expected values of welding current [A] or voltage [V] (both only in SYNERGY mode); the lower display shows wire speed reference [m/min] or recommended maximum thickness [mm] of workpiece.
