RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS
WELDER
The SAE-400 provides excellent constant current DC
welding output 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.
AUXILIARY POWER
The SAE-400 provides 3 KW of 115/230 VAC output
for auxiliary power and emergency standby power.
DESIGN FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES
FOR STICK WELDING
• Excellent DC constant current output for stick weld-
ing applications.
• Continuous adjustment of both voltage and current
for unsurpassed 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 (with-
in the limits shown on the chart below).

OTHER FEATURES
• Perkins 4-cylinder, water cooled diesel engine.
Designed for long life, easy maintenance and excel-
lent fuel economy.
• Engine protection system shuts the engine down for
low engine oil pressure or high coolant temperature.
• Electronic Engine Idler. Engine automatically goes
to low idle in 10 to 14 seconds after welding or use
of auxiliary power stops. Includes high idle switch.
• Gauges for engine oil pressure, coolant temperature
and battery charging ammeter.
• Engine hour meter standard.
• Extended range 22.5 gallon (85.1 L) fuel tank.
DUTY CYCLE
Duty cycle is the percentage of time the load is being
applied in a 10 minute period. For example a 60% duty
cycle, represents 6 minutes of load and 4 minutes of
no load in a 10 minute period.
