    Miami, Florida 33135 or CSA Standard W117.2-1974. A Free copy of “Arc Welding Safety” booklet E205 is available from the Lincoln Electric Company, 22801 St. Clair Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44117-1199. BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
  • Page 3: Electric Shock Can Kill

    ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. 3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.
  • Page 4 WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion. 6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

  • Page 15: General Description

    GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Multi-Source is designed to supply power to the Multi-Weld welders. It has a wide range three phase AC input and can be operated on 50 or 60 Hz. The Multi-Source output peak voltage regulates against wide changes in output loading and input line voltage variations to supply a consistently stable voltage high enough to allow the Multi-Welds to provide good man- ual electrode capability.
  • Page 16: Recommended Equipment/Connections

    RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT/CONNECTIONS The Multi-weld 350 (K1735-1) is the recommended means by which to control the MULTI-SOURCE power supply. Connections between the MULTI-SOURCE and the Multi-weld may be easily made using Twist-Mate male and female connectors and the K1736-1 Distribution box. For 1/0 Cable For 3/0 Cable The Multi-weld 350 has multi-process capability and may be used in manual and semi-automatic processes.

    THEORY OF OPERATION FIGURE E.2 – INPUT VOLTAGE CIRCUIT SURGE NOISE FILTER INPUT CONTACTOR CONTROL TRANSFORMER THERMOSTAT SWITCH CONTROL RECTIFIER GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Multi-Source is designed to supply power to the Multi-Weld Arc Converter welders. The Multi-Source is an SCR controlled constant voltage (CV) DC power supply that can operate with a wide range of three phase input voltages.

  • Page 27 TROUBLESHOOTING & REPAIR PROTECTION DEVICES AND CIR- CUITS Several thermostats protect the Multi-Source from over temperature and /or excessive loading. High transformer watts could cause the main transformer to over heat so the cooling fan is activated if a thermo- stat, located on the front of the main transformer iron, should open.
  • Page 28: Scr Operation

    TROUBLESHOOTING & REPAIR SCR OPERATION A silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is a three terminal device used to control rather large currents to a load. An SCR acts very much like a switch. When a gate signal is applied to the SCR it is turned ON and there is current flow from anode to cathode.
