WARNING

Mar ‘95

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDSmay be dangerous

2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding current creates EMF fields around welding cables and welding machines

2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, andwelders having a pacemaker should consult their physicianbefore welding.

2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other healtheffects which are now not known.

2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order tominimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:

2.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together - Securethem with tape when possible.

2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.

2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode andwork cables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, the work cable should also be on your right side.

2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close aspossible to the area being welded.

2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.

1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove theradiator pressure cap when the engine ishot.

ARC RAYS can burn.4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover

plates to protect your eyes from sparks andthe rays of the arc when welding or observingopen arc welding. Headshield and filter lensshould conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.

4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistantmaterial to protect your skin and that of your helpers fromthe arc rays.

4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammablescreening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor exposethemselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.

ELECTRIC SHOCK cankill.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 bareskin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free

gloves to insulate hands.

3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your fullarea of physical contact with work and ground.

In addition to the normal safety precautions, if weldingmust be performed under electrically hazardousconditions (in damp locations or while wearing wetclothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings orscaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable oraccidental contact with the workpiece or ground) usethe following equipment:

• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.

3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomaticwelding gun are also electrically “hot”.

3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electricalconnection with the metal being welded. The connectionshould be as close as possible to the area being welded.

3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical(earth) ground.

3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable andwelding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replacedamaged insulation.

3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.

3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts ofelectrode holders connected to two welders because voltagebetween the two can be the total of the open circuit voltageof both welders.

3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protectyourself from a fall should you get a shock.

3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.

Mar ‘95

FUMES AND GASEScan be dangerous.5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases

hazardous to health. Avoid breathing thesefumes and gases.When welding, keepyour head out of the fume. Use enoughventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep

fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. Whenwelding with electrodes which require specialventilation such as stainless or hard facing (seeinstructions on container or MSDS) or on lead orcadmium plated steel and other metals or coatingswhich produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure aslow as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV)using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. Inconfined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, arespirator may be required. Additional precautions arealso required when welding on galvanized steel.

5.b. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vaporscoming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors toform phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating prod-ucts.

5.c. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air andcause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.

5.d. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for thisequipment and the consumables to be used, including thematerial safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow youremployer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available fromyour welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

5.e. Also see item 1.b.

POWER WAVE AC/DC

FOR ELECTRICALLYpowered equipment.

8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnectswitch at the fuse box before working onthe equipment.

8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. NationalElectrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’srecommendations.

8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. NationalElectrical Code and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

CYLINDER may explodeif damaged.7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders

containing the correct shielding gas for theprocess used and properly operatingregulators designed for the gas and

pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable forthe application and maintained in good condition.

7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securelychained to an undercarriage or fixed support.

7.c. Cylinders should be located:• Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected tophysical damage.

• A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations andany other source of heat, sparks, or flame.

7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any otherelectrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.

7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outletwhen opening the cylinder valve.

7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and handtight except when the cylinder is in use or connected foruse.

7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gascylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l,“Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases inCylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

Mar ‘95

WELDING SPARKS cancause fire or explosion.6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area.

If this is not possible, cover them to preventthe welding sparks from starting a fire.Remember that welding sparks and hot

materials from welding can easily go through small cracksand openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding nearhydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.

6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,special precautions should be used to prevent hazardoussituations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSIStandard Z49.1) and the operating information for theequipment being used.

6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrodecircuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contactcan cause overheating and create a fire hazard.

6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until theproper steps have been taken to insure that such procedureswill not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substancesinside. They can cause an explosion even though they havebeen “cleaned”. For information, purchase “RecommendedSafe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting ofContainers and Piping That Have Held HazardousSubstances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society(see address above).

6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting orwelding. They may explode.

6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oilfree protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wearear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in awelding area.

6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the weldingarea as practical. Work cables connected to the buildingframework or other locations away from the welding areaincrease the possibility of the welding current passingthrough lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate cir-cuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chainsor cables until they fail.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉPour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructionset les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans cemanuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suiv-antes:

Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:

a. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tensionquand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujourstout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nueou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sanstrous pour isoler les mains.

b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand onsoude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un planchermetallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grandepartie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.

c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câblede soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr étatdefonctionnement.

d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour lerefroidir.

e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tensiondes porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souderparce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être letotal de la tension à vide des deux machines.

f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source decourant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautionspour le porte-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet desoudage.

2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protégercontre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamaisenrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quelle partiedu corps.

3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel,donc:

a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant appropriéainsi qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du ray-onnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ouquand on regarde l’arc.

b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger lapeau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement del‘arc.

c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité ausoudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.

4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l’arc desoudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libresde l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pan-talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.

5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone desoudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les

zones où l’on pique le laitier.

6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin deprévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.

7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé dela masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer unéchauffement et un risque d’incendie.

8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possiblede la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on placela masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autresendroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risquede voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de lev-age, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquerdes risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et descâbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.

9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôlesgalvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal quiproduit des fumeés toxiques.

10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenantd’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. Lachaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeursdu solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)ou autres produits irritants.

11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté,voir le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSAStandard W 117.2-1974.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POURLES MACHINES À SOUDER ÀTRANSFORMATEUR ET ÀREDRESSEUR

1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code del’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositifde montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à unebonne mise à la terre.

2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seronteffectués par un électricien qualifié.

3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’interieur de poste, la debranch-er à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.

4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leurplace.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONSRead this entire installation section before youstart installation.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Only qualified personnelshould perform this installa-tion.

• Turn the input power OFF atthe disconnect switch or fusebox before working on thisequipment. Turn off the input

power to any other equipment connected to thewelding system at the disconnect switch or fusebox before working on the equipment.

• Do not touch electrically hot parts.

• Always connect the Power Wave grounding lug(located inside the reconnect input access door)to a proper safety (Earth) ground.

-------------------------------------------------------------

SELECT SUITABLE LOCATIONDo not use Power Waves in outdoor environments. ThePower Wave power source should not be subjected tofalling water, nor should any parts of it be submerged inwater. Doing so may cause improper operation as wellas pose a safety hazard. The best practice is to keep themachine in a dry, sheltered area.

Do not mount the PowerWave over combustible sur-faces. Where there is a combustible surface directlyunder stationary or fixed electrical equipment, thatsurface shall be covered with a steel plate atleast.060" (1.6mm) thick, which shall extend not less than5.90" (150mm) beyond the equipment on all sides.

Place the welder where clean cooling air can freelycirculate in through the rear louvers and out throughthe case sides and bottom. Dirt, dust, or any foreignmaterial that can be drawn into the welder should bekept at a minimum. Do not use air filters on the airintake because the air flow will be restricted. Failure toobserve these precautions can result in excessiveoperating temperatures and nuisance shutdowns.

WARNING

CAUTION

INPUT CONNECTION

Only a qualified electrician should connect theinput leads to the Power Wave. Connectionsshould be made in accordance with all local andnational electrical codes and the connection dia-gram located on the inside of the reconnect/inputaccess door of the machine. Failure to do so mayresult in bodily injury or death.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Use a three-phase supply line. A 1.75 inch (45 mm)diameter access hole for the input supply is located onthe upper left case back next to the input access door.Connect L1, L2, L3 and ground according to the InputSupply Connection Diagram decal located on the

inside of the input access door or refer to Figure A.1 .

INPUT FUSE AND SUPPLY WIRE CONSIDERATIONSRefer to the Technical Specifications at the beginningof this Installation section for recommended fuse andwire sizes. Fuse the input circuit with the recommend-ed super lag fuse or delay type breakers (also called“inverse time” or “thermal/magnetic” circuit breakers).Choose an input and grounding wire size according tolocal or national electrical codes. Using fuses or circuitbreakers smaller than recommended may result in“nuisance” shut-offs from welder inrush currents, evenif the machine is not being used at high currents.

INPUT VOLTAGE CHANGE OVER(FOR MULTIPLE INPUT VOLTAGEMACHINES ONLY)Welders are shipped connected for the highest inputvoltage listed on the rating plate. To move this con-nection to a different input voltage, see the diagramlocated on the inside of the input access door.

If the Auxiliary (A) lead is placed in the wrong position,there are two possible results. If the lead is placed in aposition higher than the applied line voltage, thewelder may not come on at all. If the Auxiliary (A) leadis placed in a position lower than the applied line volt-age, the welder will not come on, and the two circuitbreakers in the reconnect area will open. If thisoccurs, turn off the input voltage, properly connect the(A) lead, reset the breakers, and try again.

WELDING WITH MULTIPLE UNSYN-CHRONIZED POWER WAVES

Special care must be taken when more than onePower Wave is welding unsynchronized on a sin-gle part. Arc blow and arc interference may occuror be magnified. Each power source requires awork lead to the work stud to the welding fixture.Do not combine all of the work leads into onelead. Performing welding in the direction awayfrom the work leads. (In a synchronized multi arcsystem the weld should go towards the workleads to minimize arc blow). Connect all of thework sense leads from each power source to thework piece at the end of the weld, such that theyare out of the path of the weld current. For addi-tional information on work voltage sense leadssee sections entitled "Voltage Sensing" and"Multiple Unsynchronized Arc Sense Lead andWork Lead Placement Guidelines".------------------------------------------------------------------------

TWO POWER WAVES

For the best results when pulse welding, set the wiresize and wire feed speed the same for all the PowerWaves. When these parameters are identical, thepulsing frequency will be the same, helping to stabilizethe arcs.

Every welding gun requires a separate shielding gasregulator for proper flow rate and shielding gas cover-age. Do not attempt to supply shielding gas for two ormore guns from only one regulator.

If an anti-spatter system is in use then each gun musthave its own anti-spatter system. (See Figure A.2.)

Additionally no DIP switch changesare required to switch between the different polarities. Allof this is controlled internally by the Power Wave AC/DC.The following directions apply to all polarities:

Connect a work lead of sufficient size (Per Table 1) andlength between the "work" stud (located beneath thespring loaded output cover on the front of the machine)and the work. For convenience, the work lead can berouted behind the left strain relief (under the springloaded output cover), along the channels, and out theback of the machine. Be sure the connection to the workmakes tight metal-to-metal electrical contact. The workpiece connection must be firm and secure. Excessivevoltage drops caused by poor work piece connectionsoften result in unsatisfactory welding performance, espe-cially if pulse welding is planned. To avoid interferenceproblems with other equipment and to achieve the bestpossible operation, route all cables directly to the workand wire feeder. Avoid excessive lengths and do not coilexcess cable.

Connect the electrode cable between the wire feeder andthe "electrode" stud on the power source (located behindthe cover plate on the lower right side). For convenience,the cable can be routed through the oval hole in the rearof the machine before being connected to the output ter-minals. Connect the other end of the electrode cable tothe wire drive feed plate. Be sure the connection to thefeed plate makes tight metal-to-metal electrical contact.The electrode cable should be sized according to thespecifications given in (Table A.1).

Suggested Copper Cable Sizes - 100 Duty Cycle CombinedLength of Electrode and Work Cables (Table A.1)Cable Length (ft (m) Parallel Cables Cable Size0 (0) to 100 (30.4) 1 4/0 (120mm2)100 (30.4) to 200 (60.8) 2 2/0 (70mm2)200 (60.8) to 250 (76.2) 2 3/0 (95mm2)

When using inverter type power sources like thePower Wave, use the largest welding (electrode andwork) cables that are practical. When pulsing, thepulse current can reach very high levels. Voltagedrops can become excessive, leading to poor weldingcharacteristics, if undersized welding cables are used.NOTE: K1796 coaxial welding cable is recommendedto reduce the cable inductance in long cable lengths.This is especially important when Pulse welding up to350 amps.

CABLE INDUCTANCE, AND ITS EFFECTSON PULSE WELDINGFor Pulse Welding processes, cable inductance willcause the welding performance to degrade. For thetotal welding loop length less than 50 feet, traditionalwelding cables may be used without any effects onwelding performance. For the total welding loop lengthgreater than 50 feet, the K1796 Coaxial WeldingCables are recommended. The welding loop length is defined as the total of elec-trode cable length (A) + work cable length (B) + worklength (C) (See Figure A.3).

For long work piece lengths, a sliding ground shouldbe considered to keep the total welding loop lengthless than 50 feet. (See Figure A.4.)

FOR A DETAILED CONNECTION DIAGRAM USINGK1796 COAXIAL CABLE, SEE PAGE F-4.

When pulsing, the pulse current can reach veryhigh levels. Voltage drops can become excessive,leading to poor welding characteristics, if under-sized welding cables are used.------------------------------------------------------------------------

VOLTAGE SENSINGThe best arc performance occurs when thePowerWave AC/DC has accurate data about the arcconditions. Depending upon the process, inductancewithin the electrode and work lead cables can influ-ence the voltage apparent at the studs of the welder.Voltage sense leads improve the accuracy of the arcconditions and can have a dramatic effect on perfor-mance. Sense Lead Kits (K490-series) are availablefor this purpose.

If the voltage sensing is enabled but the senseleads are missing, improperly connected, or if theelectrode polarity switch is improperly configuredextremely high welding outputs may occur.

In extremely sensitive applications requiring volt-age sense leads, it may be necessary to route thecontrol cable (67 lead) and the work voltage senselead (21 lead) away from the electrode and workwelding cables. For more information regardingthe placement of voltage sense leads, see the sec-tion entitled "Welding with Multiple IndependentPower Waves."

------------------------------------------------------------------------The ELECTRODE sense lead (67) is built into theK1795 control cable. The WORK sense lead (21) con-nects to the Power Wave at the four-pin connectorlocated underneath the output stud cover.Enable the voltage sense leads as follows:

TABLE A.2Process Electrode Voltage Work Voltage

* The electrode voltage 67 sense lead is part of thecontrol cable to the wire feeder.

** For consistent weld quality, work voltage sensing isrecommended.

Work Voltage SensingThe Power Waves are shipped from the factorywith the work sense lead disabled.

To use work voltage sensing, connect the (21) workvoltage sense lead from the Power Wave to the work.Attach the sense lead to the work as close to the weldas practical. Enable the work voltage sensing in thePower Wave as follows:

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Do not touch electrically live partsor electrodes with your skin or wetclothing.

• Insulate yourself from the work andground.

• Always wear dry insulating gloves.

-----------------------------------------------------------

1. Turn off power to the power source at the discon-nect switch.

2. Remove the front cover from the power source.

3. The control board is on the left side ofthe power source. Locate the 8-positionDIP switch and look for switch 8 of theDIP switch.

4. Using a pencil or other small object,slide the switch to the OFF position ifthe work sense lead is NOT connected.Conversely, slide the switch to the ONposition if the work sense lead is pre-sent.

5. Replace the cover and screws. The PC board will(read) the switch at power up, and configure thework voltage sense lead appropriately.

Electrode Voltage SensingEnabling or disabling electrode voltage sensing isautomatically configured through software. The 67electrode sense lead is internal to the cable to thewire feeder and always connected when a wire feederis present.

CONTROL CABLE CONNECTIONSBETWEEN POWER SOURCE ANDWIREFEEDERConnect the control cable between the power sourceand wire feeder. The wire feeder connection on thePowerWave AC/DC is located under the spring loadedoutput cover, on the case front. The control cable iskeyed and polarized to prevent improper connect.

For convenience, the control cables can be routedbehind the left or right strain relief (under the springloaded output cover), along the channels of the PowerWave, out the back of the channels, and then to thewire feeder.

Excessive voltage drops at the work piece con-nection often result in unsatisfactory pulse weld-ing performance.------------------------------------------------------------------------

CONTROL CABLE CONNECTIONSBETWEEN POWER SOURCES RUNIN PARALLELThe connectors located on the rear of the machine areused for synchronizing the operation of multiplemachines. To run machines in parallel connect thecontrol cable (K1795 series) between power sourcesthat are to run in parallel. The bottom (male) connec-tor on the master connects to the top (female) connec-tor on the slave. If needed the bottom connector onthe slave machine is then used to connect to anotherslave machine. This connection scheme is duplicatedfor any additional slaves.

CONTROL CABLE CONNECTIONSBETWEEN A POWER SOURCEAND PHASE GENERATORIf multiple arcs need to be synchronized an externalphase generator is required. The phase generator isconnected to all of the master machines. A controlcable (K1795 series) should be connected betweenthe phase generator and the top (female) connectoron the rear of the master machine.

CONTROL CABLE SPECIFICATIONSIt is recommended that genuine Lincoln control cablesbe used at all times. Lincoln cables are specificallydesigned for the communication and power needs ofthe Power Wave / Power Feed system.

The use of non-standard cables, especially inlengths greater than 25 feet, can lead to communi-cation problems (system shutdowns), poor motoracceleration (poor arc starting) and low wire dri-ving force (wire feeding problems). Use the short-est length of control cable possible. Do not coilexcess cable as this can cause communicationproblems (system shutdowns).------------------------------------------------------------------------Lincoln control cables are copper 22 conductor cablein a SO-type rubber jacket.

The K1795 series of control cables can be added inseries as needed. Do not exceed more than 100 feet(30.5 m) total control cable length.

ETHERNET CONNECTIONS

The PowerWave is equipped with an Ethernet con-nector, which is located under the spring loaded out-put cover. All Ethernet cables external to either a con-duit or an enclosure should be solid, shielded with adrain, cat 5 cable. The drain should be grounded. Donot use cat 5+, cat 5E, cat 6 or stranded cable. If con-nection failure during welding persists reroute cablesaway from any other cables that carry current or otherdevices that would create a magnetic field. See FigureA.4a.

MULTI-ARC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The following is a general description of how thePowerWave AC/DC can be configured in a multi-arcset-up.

Each welding arc may be driven by one machine or upto four machines connected in parallel. The hardwarefor the power source has been designed so that thepower source can either operate as a master or aslave. A few DIP switches must be configured proper-ly to set the machine’s identity. Each power sourcehas a rating of 500 amps average current, with a peakcurrent of 725 amps. So, four machines are capableof driving 2000 amps of output current with up to 2900amps of peak current available. Each arc must haveone power source designated as the master. If onlyone machine is required for an arc, then it must be setup as the master. The master power source controlsthe AC switching for the arc. The slaves respond towhat the master wants

Due to the flexibility of the platform the configurationmay vary. A typical subarc system will consist of fourwelding arcs, which require ten power sources andone synchronous generator. Arc # 1 & #2 will be threemachines in parallel. Arc #3 & #4 will be two machinesconnected in parallel (each individual machine is con-nected to the ethernet hub).

The PC will function as the control center for theAC/DC system as well as the user interface. TheEthernet hub splits the Ethernet port from the PC to allthe power sources and the phase generator. The PCwill act to coordinate the welding sequence of the mul-tiple machines.

One machine will be designated the master, with therest of the machines connected in parallel consideredslaves. The master can generate it's own AC frequen-cy or it can use an external signal as a reference. Anexternal Phase Generator provides the means to syn-chronize the AC wave shape between multiple arcs.The phase angle between arcs can be adjusted toreduce "Arc Blow" and other welding related issues.An external phase control signal is required to keepthe separate wave shapes synchronized with eachother

An Ethernet-Gateway board can be used as the exter-nal Phase Generator. An Ethernet-Gateway PC boardthat can be configured to generate four phase signalsonto four differential I/O lines. The phase signals canthen be used to synchronize the four different arcs toa common carrier frequency. The frequency canrange from 10 hertz to 300 hertz, with the most practi-cal range being from 50 to 100 hertz. It may be desir-able that sync signals 2, 3, or 4 are some multiple ofthe first signal. The frequency and phase shift arecontrolled by software.

WELDER OPERATION

Making a WeldThe serviceability of a product or structure utilizing thewelding programs is and must be the sole responsibili-ty of the builder/user. Many variables beyond the con-trol of The Lincoln Electric Company affect the resultsobtained in applying these programs. These variablesinclude, but are not limited to, welding procedure,plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design,fabrication methods and service requirements. Theavailable range of a welding program may not be suit-able for all applications, and the build/user is and mustbe solely responsible for welding program selection.

The steps for operating the Power Wave will varydepending upon the user interface of the welding sys-tem. The flexibility of the Power Wave lets the usercustomize operation for the best performance.

First, consider the desired welding process and thepart to be welded. Choose an electrode material,diameter, shielding gas and process (GMAW, GMAW-P, SAW, etc.)

B-6OPERATIONB-6

POWER WAVE AC/DC

Second, find the program in the welding software thatbest matches the desired welding process. The stan-dard software shipped with the Power Waves encom-passes a wide range of common processes and willmeet most needs. If a special welding program isdesired, contact the local Lincoln Electric sales repre-sentative.

To make a weld, the Power Wave needs to know thedesired welding parameters. ArcLink allows full cus-tomization for exacting performance. The PowerWave can be programmed with specific values forStrike, Run-in, Crater and other parameters as need-ed.

The Power Wave supports advanced features, liketouch sensing and through-the-arc-seam tracking(TAST).

WELDING ADJUSTMENTS

All adjustments are made on through the user inter-face which can vary. Because of the different configu-ration options your system may not have all of the fol-lowing adjustments. Regardless of availability, all con-trols are described below.

GENERAL WELDING ADJUSTMENTS

1. WFS / AMPS:In synergic welding modes (synergic CV, pulseGMAW) WFS (wire feed speed) is the dominantcontrol parameter, controlling all other variables.The user adjusts WFS according to factors such asweld size, penetration requirements, heat input, etc.The Power Wave then uses the WFS setting toadjust its output characteristics (output voltage, out-put current) according to pre-programmed settingscontained in the Power Wave. In non-synergicmodes, the WFS control behaves more like a con-ventional CV power source where WFS and voltageare independent adjustments. Therefore to maintainthe arc characteristics, the operator must adjust thevoltage to compensate for any changes made to theWFS.

2. VOLTS / TRIM:In constant voltage modes (synergic CV, standardCV) the control adjusts the welding voltage.

In pulse synergic welding modes (pulse GMAWonly) the user can change the Trim setting to adjustthe arc length. It is adjustable from 0.500 to 1.500.A Trim setting of 1.000 is a good starting point formost conditions.

3. WELDING MODE:May be selected by name (CV/MIG, CC/Stick Crisp,Gouge, etc.) or by a mode number (10, 24, 71,etc.). Selecting a welding mode determines the out-put characteristics of the Power Wave powersource

4. ARC CONTROL:Also known as Inductance or Wave Control. Allowsoperator to vary the arc characteristics from "soft" to"harsh" in all weld modes. It is adjustable from -10.0to +10.0, with a nominal setting of 0.0.

B-7OPERATIONB-7

CV WELDING

Synergic CV:For each wire feed speed, a corresponding voltage ispreprogrammed into the machine through special soft-ware at the factory. The nominal preprogrammed volt-age is the best average voltage for a given wire feedspeed, but may be adjusted to preference. With syner-gic programs, when the wire feed speed changes thePower Wave will automatically adjust the voltage cor-respondingly to maintain similar arc characteristicsthroughout the WFS range.

Non Synergic CV:This type of CV mode behaves more like a conven-tional CV power source. Voltage and WFS are inde-pendent adjustments. Therefore to maintain the arccharacteristics, the operator must adjust the voltage tocompensate for any changes made to the WFS.

All CV Modes:Wave control adjusts the inductance of the waveshape. (This adjustment is often referred to as "pinch".Inductance is inversely proportional pinch.)Increasing wave control greater than 0.0 results in acrispier, colder arc while decreasing the wave controlto less than 0.0 provides a softer, hotter arc.(See Figure B.2 for CURRENT WAVE FORM (CV)

PULSE WELDING

Pulse welding procedures are set by controlling anoverall "arc length" variable. When pulse welding, thearc voltage is highly dependent upon the waveform.The peak current, back ground current, rise time, falltime and pulse frequency all affect the voltage. Theexact voltage for a given wire feed speed can only bepredicted when all the pulsing waveform parametersare known. Using a preset voltage becomes impracti-cal, and instead the arc length is set by adjusting"trim".

Trim adjusts the arc length and ranges from 0.50 to1.50, with a nominal value of 1.00. Trim values greaterthan 1.00 increase the arc length, while values lessthan 1.00 decrease the arc length.

Most pulse welding programs are syngeric. As thewire feed speed is adjusted, the Power Wave willautomatically recalculate the waveform parameters tomaintain similar arc properties.

POWER WAVE AC/DC

Wave Control 0.0

Wave Control +10.0

Wave Control -10.0

The Power Wave utilizes "adaptive control" to com-pensate for changes in electrical stick-out while weld-ing. (Electrical stick-out is the distance from the con-tact tip to the work piece.) The Power Wave wave-forms are optimized for a 0.75" (19mm) stick-out.The adaptive behavior supports a range of stickoutsfrom 0.50" (13mm) to 1.25" (32mm). At very low orhigh wire feed speeds, the adaptive range may beless due to reaching physical limitations of the weldingprocess.

Wave control in pulse programs usually adjusts thefocus or shape of the arc. Wave control values greaterthan 0 increase the pulse frequency while decreasingthe background current, resulting in a tight, stiff arcbest for high speed sheet metal welding. Wave con-trol values less than 0 decrease the pulse frequencywhile increasing the background current, for a soft arcgood for out-of-position welding. (See Figure B.3)

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Only Qualified personnel shouldperform this maintenance.

• Turn the input power OFF at thedisconnect switch or fuse boxbefore working on this equipment.

• Do not touch electrically hot parts.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Routine maintenance consists of periodicallyblowing out the machine, using a low pressureairstream, to remove accumulated dust and dirtfrom the intake and outlet louvers, and the cool-ing channels in the machine.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCECalibration of the Power Wave AC/DC is critical toits operation. Generally speaking the calibrationwill not need adjustment. However, neglected orimproperly calibrated machines may not yield sat-isfactory weld performance. To ensure optimalperformance, the calibration of output Voltageand Current should be checked yearly.

CALIBRATION SPECIFICATIONOutput Voltage and Current are calibrated at thefactory. Generally speaking the machine calibrationwill not need adjustment. However, if the weld per-formance changes, or the yearly calibration checkreveals a problem, contact the Lincoln ElectricCompany for the calibration software utility.

The calibration procedure itself requires the useof a grid, and certified actual meters for voltageand current. The accuracy of the calibration willbe directly affected by the accuracy of the mea-suring equipment you use. Detailed instructionsare available with the utility.
