Installation With Other Lincoln Power Sources - Lincoln Electric TIG MODULE IM528-B Operator's Manual

Installation with other Lincoln Power
Sources
Installation consists of connecting the input work
and electrode cables, TIG torch, work lead, the
proper control cable, and an Arc Start Switch or
Amptrol. Tables 6 and 7 list the equipment
required for installing and operating the TIG
Module on various Lincoln power sources.
If the TIG Module is being used for AC TIG
welding, the TIG Module's input power must be
properly phased with respect to the welder output
current. This would be a front panel 115VAC
receptacle for engine welders. For transformer
welders, the TIG Module must be connected to
the same phase as the welding supply. The best
way to assure this is to connect the TIG Module
input cord, properly fused, to a source of 115VAC
inside the power source. In Lincoln transformer
welders rated 250 amps and higher, this would be

the supply leads to the fan motor. Although the
TIG Module will operate on a different phase, the
AC TIG arc will be less stable.
For DC TIG welding, the TIG module's input may
be connected to any convenient source of
115VAC; the input phasing is unimportant.
Refer to Figure 6 for the connection diagram for
the TIG Module when used with various Lincoln
power sources. Make sure all connections are
tight before proceeding.
If using the K936-2 Input Cable (9-socket to 8
lugged leads), connect the leads at the power
source end of the cable to the matching terminals
on the power source (2 to 2, 4 to 4, etc.).
For other installations, connect the plugs on the
end of the Input Cable to the mating receptacles
on the power source.
