SAE-400™

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SAE-400 is a diesel engine driven welding power source. The
machine uses a DC generator for DC stick electrode welding and
an AC exciter for 115/230 VAC auxiliary power. As a generator it
can supply up to 3,000 watts of 115/230 volt AC power. As a
welder it provides up to 575 amps of DC constant current output.
The engine 1104C-44 is a 68.4 Hp @ 1725 RPM (51kw), 4-cylin-
der water cooled diesel made by Perkins.
The engine 1104A-44 is a 64.4 Hp @ 1710 RPM (48kw), 4-cylin-
der water cooled diesel made by Perkins.
RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS
WELDER
The SAE-400 provides excellent constant current DC welding out-
put for stick (SMAW) welding. The field installed optional CV
Adapter (K385-[ ]) provides up to 500 amps at 35 volts of constant
voltage output for semiautomatic welding.
DESIGN FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES
FOR STICK WELDING
• Excellent DC constant current output for stick welding applica-
tions.
• Continuous adjustment of both voltage and current for unsur-
passed welds on demanding jobs.
• Remote control capability standard.
FOR AUXILIARY POWER
• 3,000 watts of 115/230 VAC, 60 Hz auxiliary power.
• One 20 amp 115 VAC duplex receptacle for up to 26 amps of
115 VAC power.
• One 15 amp, 230 VAC duplex receptacle for up to 13 amps of
230 VAC power.
• Weld and AC auxiliary power at the same time (within the limits
shown on the chart below).
