Product introduction

Master S model welding machines are designed for industrial use and for welding all kinds of
covered electrodes. Master S is also suitable for carbon arc gouging.
In addition to the basic functions Master S 400 and 500 models include advanced functions
like HotStart, ArcForce, TIG mode and remote control, which are all set through the panel.
Both models come equipped with a voltage reduction device (VRD) that is designed to
maintain the open-circuit voltage (OCV) below 35 volts.
Master S 400 and 500 models can also operate in constant voltage (CV) mode as a parent
power supply for Kemppi voltage sensing wire feed systems and in-line TIG solutions – such as
ArcFeed and MasterTig LT 250.
Master S 400 Cel and 500 Cel models are available for cellulose welding.
