Power Wave
Increase Productivity, Quality and Flexibility
The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 is the first power source to introduce Waveform Control
Technology
™
to submerged arc welding. Variable frequency and amplitude AC, DC
positive or DC negative output allows the user to control the deposition rate and penetra-
tion. An operator can increase weld speeds, yield higher quality welds and improve effi-
ciencies in a single or multi-arc environment. The phase angle and frequency of different
machines can also be synchronized to balance the interactions between multiple arcs and
minimize arc blow. Depending on the output, a welding arc may be driven by a single
machine or multiple machines in parallel for applications that require more than 1000
amps of continuous operation.
Processes
Submerged Arc
Advantage Lincoln
• Eliminate downtime with easy polarity switching –– no hardware
reconfiguration required.
• Stable and independent arc controls for multiple arc applications.
• Improved efficiency and reliability with cooler operation through
patented Coaxial Transformer Technology™.
• 95% power factor correction enables connection of more
machines on the same plant infrastructure for lower installation
costs compared to other machines.
• Remote process monitoring and control through ArcLink,
Ethernet, and DeviceNet communication.
• Consistent operation over ± 10% input voltage variation through
built-in line voltage compensation and reliable input voltage
connection.
• Manufactured under a quality system certified to ISO 9001
requirements and ISO 14001 environmental standards.
• Three-year warranty on parts and labor.

Waveform Control Technology™ and digital communications Waveform Control Technology™ Driving Superior Welding Performance Lincoln’s Waveform Control Technology controls and shapes the output waveforms (or weld...
- Page 3 A CLOSER LOOK Variable Balance – Control Deposition By setting the correct wave balance (that is, the ratio between positive and negative waveforms), the operator is able to work faster and fill the weld joint with fewer passes. The Power Wave AC/DC 1000™ has wave balance range of 25% to 75%. The more positive the wave, the more penetration.
- Page 4 A CLOSER LOOK Arc Performance The capabilities of the Power Wave AC/DC 1000™ in a multi-arc environment offer digital control over the critical welding variables for optimum performance whatever your needs require. As shown below, these digital controls can be used for each arc to provide unprece- dented arc welding characteristics.
