l One (1), Migmaster 250 Kit as follows:
-- 12-ft. Kit ................................................. P/N 32993
Includes:
MT-200cc, ready-to-weld, 12-ft. lg. torch
for .035/.045 wire ....................................... P/N 21116
R-33-FM-580 Regulator, (F-15-173) ........... P/N 21557

2.3.2 POWER SUPPLY
The power supply consists of a tapped single phase
transformer, tap selection switches, secondary contactor,
single phase full wave rectifier, stabilizing reactor, slope
resistor, filtering capacitors and internal output connec-
tions for polarity reversal.
2.3.3 WIRE FEEDER
The wire feeder pushes 0.023, 0.030, 0.035 and 0.045 in.
wire at speeds up to 650 IPM. Dynamic braking prevents
excessive wire overrun. A double grooved drive roll
(0.035 and 0.045 in.) provides a convenient means of
changing the setup for either wire size.
The wire feeder is built into the power supply cabinet, and
is housed in a compartment separated from the welding
machine components. Machine ventilation is not drawn
through this compartment, thus helping to keep the wire
and feeding mechanism clean.
