Esab 400 A Single and Double Phase IGBT Inverter Arc Welding Machine Buddy

The BuddyTM Arc is heavy duty, fan cooled, IGBT based inverter controlled power sources meant for MMA / TIG (scratch-start) welding. Easy Settings : The simple control panel of the BuddyTM Arc makes it easy to optimise settings, reducing the time taken for achieving the best weld characteristics. These units are equipped with hot start. Hot start helps to avoid starting problems while arc force sets the intensity of the arc for improved weld quality. Energy Efficient : The BuddyTM Arc machines are constructed to maintain a high power factor and efficiency, thus keeping the energy cost to a minimum without affecting the weld quality. Safety and Reliability : The BuddyTM Arc machines conform to the International Standards that ensure the reliability and safe use of these machines. Features: - Inverter controlled - More efficient power usage - Light weight - Improved mobility - Adjustable hot start - Easy to strike the electrode, helps you to avoid starting problems. - Adjustable arc force - Sets the intensity of the arc for improved weld quality. - Wide mains voltage tolerance - Stable welding controls Specifications: - Mains voltage, V/Ph Hz - 400V ± 15%, 3ph, 50Hz - Effective input current, A - 21.4A - Fuse (slow), A - 32 - Mains cable, Ø mm2 - 4C x 4 - Permitted load at (MMA) 60% duty cycle, A/V - 400 / 36 100% duty cycle, A/V - 310 / 32.4 - Permitted load at (TIG) 60% duty cycle, A/V - 400 / 26 100% duty cycle, A/V - 310 / 22.4 - Power factor at maximum current - 0.93 - Efficiency at maximum current, % - 85 - Setting range (TIG/MMA), A - 20 - 400 - Open circuit voltage (OCV), V - 68 (400i) - Reduced OCV (VRD), V - <35 - Weight, kg - 29 (400i) - Operating temperature - -10 till 40°C - Application class - S - Standards - IEC 60974-1 Applications: - General fabrication - Railways - Shipbuilding - Civil construction - Pipe workshops
