Safety Depends on You
Lincoln arc welding and cutting
equipment is designed and built
with safety in mind. However, your
overall safety can be increased by
proper installation ... and thought-
ful operation on your part.
And, most
importantly, think before you act
and be careful.

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. 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 and CUTTING 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 materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

    In Table A.1 are copper cable sizes recommended for different currents and duty cycles. Lengths stipulated are the distance from the welder to work and back to the welder again. Cable sizes are increased for greater lengths primarily for the purpose of minimizing cable drop.
  • Page 22: Cable Inductance, And Its Effects On Welding

    Depending upon the process, inductance within the electrode and work cables can influence the volt- age apparent at the studs of the welder, and have a dramatic effect on performance. Remote voltage sense leads are used to improve the accuracy of the arc voltage information supplied to the control pc board.
  • Page 23 A-14 Work Voltage Sensing The POWER WAVE® i400 is configured at the factory to sense work voltage at the negative output stud (positive output polarity with remote Work Voltage Sensing disabled).

    It is highly recommended that all external Ethernet equip- ment (cables, switches, etc.), as defined by the connection diagrams, be obtained through the Lincoln Electric Automation Division. It is critical that all Ethernet cables external to either a conduit or an enclosure are solid con- ductor, shielded cat 5e cable, with a drain.

    CASE FRONT CASE FRONT CONTROL DESCRIPTION 1. Machine Status Indicator: A two color LED that indicates system errors. The POWER WAVE® i400 is equipped with two indicators. One is for the inverter power source, while the other indicates the status of the feeder control system. Normal opera- tion is a steady green light.

    Choose the electrode material, electrode size, shield- ing gas, and process (GMAW, GMAW-P etc.) appro- priate for the material to be welded. Select the weld mode that best matches the desired welding process. The standard weld set shipped with the Power Wave i400 encompasses a wide range of common processes that will meet most needs.
  • Page 34 Non Synergic CV In non-synergic modes, the machine behaves like a conventional power source. The WFS and voltage are independent adjustments. Therefore, to maintain the arc characteristics, the operator must adjust the voltage to compensate for any changes made to the WFS.
