WARNING: These Safety Precautions are foryour protection. They summarize precaution-ary information from the references listed inAdditional Safety Information section. Before

performing any installation or operating procedures, besure to read and follow the safety precautions listed belowas well as all other manuals, material safety data sheets,labels, etc. Failure to observe Safety Precautions can resultin injury or death.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS --Some welding, cutting, and gougingprocesses are noisy and require earprotection. The arc, like the sun, emitsultraviolet (UV) and other radiation and

can injure skin and eyes. Hot metal can cause burns.Training in the proper use of the processes and equip-ment is essential to prevent accidents. Therefore:

1. Always wear safety glasses with side shields in any workarea, even if welding helmets, face shields, and gogglesare also required.

2. Use a face shield fitted with the correct filter and coverplates to protect your eyes, face, neck, and ears fromsparks and rays of the arc when operating or observingoperations. Warn bystanders not to watch the arc andnot to expose themselves to the rays of the electric-arcor hot metal.

3. Wear flameproof gauntlet type gloves, heavy long-sleeveshirt, cuffless trousers, high-topped shoes, and a weld-ing helmet or cap for hair protection, to protect againstarc rays and hot sparks or hot metal. A flameproof apronmay also be desirable as protection against radiatedheat and sparks.

4. Hot sparks or metal can lodge in rolled up sleeves,trouser cuffs, or pockets. Sleeves and collars should bekept buttoned, and open pockets eliminated from thefront of clothing

5. Protect other personnel from arc rays and hot sparkswith a suitable non-flammable partition or curtains.

6. Use goggles over safety glasses when chipping slag orgrinding. Chipped slag may be hot and can fly far.Bystanders should also wear goggles over safety glasses.

FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS -- Heat fromflames and arcs can start fires. Hot slagor sparks can also cause fires and ex-plosions. Therefore:

1. Remove all combustible materials well away from thework area or cover the materials with a protective non-flammable covering. Combustible materials include wood,cloth, sawdust, liquid and gas fuels, solvents, paints andcoatings, paper, etc.

2. Hot sparks or hot metal can fall through cracks orcrevices in floors or wall openings and cause a hiddensmoldering fire or fires on the floor below. Make certainthat such openings are protected from hot sparks andmetal.“

3. Do not weld, cut or perform other hot work until theworkpiece has been completely cleaned so that thereare no substances on the workpiece which might pro-duce flammable or toxic vapors. Do not do hot work onclosed containers. They may explode.

4. Have fire extinguishing equipment handy for instant use,such as a garden hose, water pail, sand bucket, orportable fire extinguisher. Be sure you are trained in itsuse.

10/2001

5. Do not use equipment beyond its ratings. For example,overloaded welding cable can overheat and create a firehazard.

6. After completing operations, inspect the work area tomake certain there are no hot sparks or hot metal whichcould cause a later fire. Use fire watchers when neces-sary.

7. For additional information, refer to NFPA Standard 51B,"Fire Prevention in Use of Cutting and Welding Pro-cesses", available from the National Fire Protection Asso-ciation, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK -- Contact with liveelectrical parts and ground can causesevere injury or death. DO NOT use ACwelding current in damp areas, if move-ment is confined, or if there is danger offalling.

1. Be sure the power source frame (chassis) is connectedto the ground system of the input power.

2. Connect the workpiece to a good electrical ground.3. Connect the work cable to the workpiece. A poor or

missing connection can expose you or others to a fatalshock.

4. Use well-maintained equipment. Replace worn or dam-aged cables.

5. Keep everything dry, including clothing, work area, cables,torch/electrode holder, and power source.

6. Make sure that all parts of your body are insulated fromwork and from ground.

7. Do not stand directly on metal or the earth while workingin tight quarters or a damp area; stand on dry boards oran insulating platform and wear rubber-soled shoes.

8. Put on dry, hole-free gloves before turning on the power.9. Turn off the power before removing your gloves.

10. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (listed on next page)for specific grounding recommendations. Do not mistakethe work lead for a ground cable.

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS —May be dangerous. Electric current flow-ing through any conductor causes lo-calized Electric and Magnetic Fields(EMF). Welding and cutting current cre-ates EMF around welding cables andwelding machines. Therefore:

1. Welders having pacemakers should consult their physi-cian before welding. EMF may interfere with some pace-makers.

2. Exposure to EMF may have other health effects which areunknown.

3. Welders should use the following procedures to minimizeexposure to EMF:A. Route the electrode and work cables together. Secure

them with tape when possible.B. Never coil the torch or work cable around your body.C. Do not place your body between the torch and work

cables. Route cables on the same side of your body.D. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as

possible to the area being welded.E. Keep welding power source and cables as far away

from your body as possible.

SECTION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

FUMES AND GASES -- Fumes andgases, can cause discomfort or harm,particularly in confined spaces. Donot breathe fumes and gases. Shield-ing gases can cause asphyxiation.Therefore:

1. Always provide adequate ventilation in the work area bynatural or mechanical means. Do not weld, cut, or gougeon materials such as galvanized steel, stainless steel,copper, zinc, lead, beryllium, or cadmium unless positivemechanical ventilation is provided. Do not breathe fumesfrom these materials.

2. Do not operate near degreasing and spraying opera-tions. The heat or arc rays can react with chlorinatedhydrocarbon vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxicgas, and other irritant gases.

3. If you develop momentary eye, nose, or throat irritationwhile operating, this is an indication that ventilation is notadequate. Stop work and take necessary steps to im-prove ventilation in the work area. Do not continue tooperate if physical discomfort persists.

4. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (see listing below)for specific ventilation recommendations.

5. WARNING: This product, when used for welding orcutting, produces fumes or gases whichcontain chemicals known to the State ofCalifornia to cause birth defects and, insome cases, cancer. (California Health &Safety Code §25249.5 et seq.)

CYLINDER HANDLING -- Cylinders, ifmishandled, can rupture and violentlyrelease gas. Sudden rupture of cylin-der, valve, or relief device can injure orkill. Therefore:

1. Use the proper gas for the process and use the properpressure reducing regulator designed to operate fromthe compressed gas cylinder. Do not use adaptors.Maintain hoses and fittings in good condition. Followmanufacturer's operating instructions for mounting regu-lator to a compressed gas cylinder.

2. Always secure cylinders in an upright position by chainor strap to suitable hand trucks, undercarriages, benches,walls, post, or racks. Never secure cylinders to worktables or fixtures where they may become part of anelectrical circuit.

3. When not in use, keep cylinder valves closed. Havevalve protection cap in place if regulator is not con-nected. Secure and move cylinders by using suitablehand trucks. Avoid rough handling of cylinders.

4. Locate cylinders away from heat, sparks, and flames.Never strike an arc on a cylinder.

g. Empêchez l’apparition de toute humidité, notammentsur vos vêtements, à la surface de l’emplacement detravail, des câbles, du porte-électrode et du poste desoudage/coupage. Réparez immédiatement toute fuited’eau.

4. VENTILATION-- La respiration prolongée des fuméesrésultant des opérations de soudage/coupage, àl’intérieur, d’un local clos, peut provoquer des mal-aises et des dommages corporels. Aussi convient-ild’observer les précautions suivantes:

a. Assurez en permanence une aération adéquate del’emplacement de travail en maintenant une ventila-tion naturelle ou à l’aide de moyens mécaniques.N’effectuez jamais de travaux de soudage ou decoupage sur des matériaux de zinc, de plomb, deberyllium ou de cadmium en l’absence de moyensmécaniques de ventilation capables d’empêcherl’inhalation des fumées dégagées par ces matériaux.

b. N’effectuez jamais de travaux de soudage ou decoupage à proximité de vapeurs d’hydrocarbure chlorérésultant d’opérations voisines de dégraissage ou depulvérisation. La chaleur dégagée ou le rayonnementde l’arc peut déclencher la formation de phosgène --gaz particulièrement toxique -- et d’autres gaz irri-tants, à partir des vapeurs de solvant.

c. Une irritation momentanée des yeux, du nez ou de lagorge constatée au cours de l’utilisation del’équipement dénote un défaut de ventilation. Arrêtez-vous de travailler afin de prendre les mesures néces-saires à l’amélioration de la ventilation. Ne poursuivezpas l’opération entreprise si le malaise persiste.

d. Certaines commandes comportent des canalisationsoù circule de l’hydrogène. L’armoire de commande estmunie d’un ventilateur destiné à empêcher la forma-tion de poches d’hydrogène, lesquelles présentent undanger d’explosion; ce ventilateur ne fonctionne quesi l’interrupteur correspondant du panneau avant setrouve placé en position ON (Marche). Veillez àmanœuvrer cette commande en vérifiant si le couvercleest bien en place, de façon à assurer l’efficacité de laventilation ainsi réalisée. Ne jamais débrancher leventilateur.

e. Les fumées produites par l’opération de soudage oude coupage peuvent s’avérer toxiques. Aussi est-ilnécessaire de disposer en permanence d’un dispositifadéquat de ventilation de type aspirant, afin d’élimi-ner du voisinage de l’opérateur tout dégagement defumée visible.

1.1 GENERAL

The SVI 300i is a high performance constant voltage(CV) and constant current (CC) inverter power sourcedesigned to provide multi-process welding capabilitieswith dependability and ease of use. The SVI 300i is aself-contained unit which will produce power for GasMetal Arc (MIG), Gas Tungsten Arc (TIG) and ShieldedMetal Arc (Stick) welding without the use of optionalapparatus. The SVI 300i is rated at 300 amperes at 60%duty cycle.

For MIG (CV) welding, the SVI 300i supports welding awide selection of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys byutilizing three-step slope and variable inductance con-trols.

A special "lift-arc" circuit eliminates the need for highfrequency or "scratch" starting when using the TIG (CC)welding process. This feature provides smooth startswithout contaminating the electrode or the work.

The Stick (CC) welding mode provides adequate opencircuit voltage (72 V dc) for easy starts and re-starts aswell as an adjustable arc force which controls arcpenetration and wetting action.

The "Fan-on-Demand" feature operates the cooling fanonly when the contactor is energized or when theinternal temperature exceeds the safe operating level.During normal operation, the fan shuts down about 4minutes after the contactor disengages.

Refer to Table 1-1 for technical specifications.

1.2 DUTY CYCLE

The SVI 300i power source will operate on a 60% dutycycle with a load of 300 amperes at 32 V dc (with 3-phase input). Duty cycle is defined as the ratio ofoperating time to total time. Ratings are based on a 10-minute cycle. The 60% duty cycle rating means that the300 ampere, 32 volt rated load can be applied for a totalof 6 minutes and shut off for a total of 4 minutes in a 10-minute period. If the welding current (or voltage) isreduced, the duty cycle increases. Conversely, if thewelding current (or voltage) is increased, the duty cyclewill decrease. Refer to Figure 1-2.

1.3 VOLT-AMPERE CURVES

Figure 1-2 illustrates the static volt-ampere characteris-tics for the power source in the MIG (CV), TIG (CC), andStick (CC) modes. The slant of these curves is referredto as the 'slope' and is generally defined as the 'voltagedrop per 100 amperes of current rise'. These curvesshow the output voltage available at any given outputcurrent between the minimum and maximum settings ofthe output control. Values for other settings fall between

NOTE:These measurements are made at the output terminalsof the power source. Additional voltage "drops" willoccur in the welding cable, torch cable, and in theworkpiece. The use of proper size welding cable andsecure electrical connections for the electrode andground circuits will minimize these effects which ad-

2.3 UNPACKING AND PLACEMENT

NOTEWhen lifting the SVI 300i, apply direct upward pressureto both of the carrying handles. Do not transport the SVI300i with only one handle or apply outward pressure tothe handles. See Figure 2-1.

A. Immediately upon receipt of the SVI 300i,inspect for damage which may have occurredin transit. Notify the carrier of any defects ordamage at once.

B. After removing the components from the ship-ping container(s), check the container for anyloose parts. Remove all packing materials.

2.1 GENERAL

This section provides detailed instructions for the properinstallation of the SVI 300i power source from initialreceipt of the equipment to output welding connections.It is recommended that these instructions be followedcarefully to allow for the best possible operating environ-ment.

2.2 REQUIRED TOOLS

Some procedures require use of the following tools:5/16" wrench, 7/16" wrench, 5/16" allen wrench, and astraight blade screwdriver. The use of socket wrenchesor nutdrivers are recommended over straight wrenchesdue to the location of attaching hardware.

WRONG! WRONG!

CORRECT

C. Check air passages of power source for anypacking materials that may obstruct air flowthrough the power source.

D. If the equipment is not to be installed immedi-ately, store it in a clean, dry, well-ventilatedarea.

E. The location of the power source should becarefully selected to ensure satisfactory anddependable service. Choose a location rela-tively close to a properly fused source ofelectrical power.

F. The machine components are maintained atproper operating temperatures by forced airwhich is drawn through the cabinet by the fanunit. For this reason, it is important that themachine be located in an open area where aircan circulate freely at front and rear openings.If space is at a premium, leave at least 1 foot(300 mm) of clearance between the rear of thepower source and wall or other obstruction.The area around the unit should be relativelyfree of dust, fumes, and excessive heat. It isalso desirable to locate the unit so the covercan be removed easily for cleaning and main-tenance.

2.4 INPUT CONNECTIONS

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Precautionary mea-sures should be taken to provide maximum protec-tion against electrical shock.

Be sure that all power is OFF by opening the line(wall) disconnect switch when primary electricalconnections are made to the power source.

To be doubly safe, check your input leads with avoltmeter to make sure all power is OFF.

NOTEAs shipped from the factory, the SVI-300i, 230/460 Vversion, is setup for 460 volts input. If you are usingthe unit from a 230 V supply, modifications must bemade to the terminal board and at the ON-OFFswitch. The necessary modifications are describedin this section.

The SVI-300i is designed to compensate for line voltagevariations of plus or minus 10 percent from the ratedlevel while maintaining rated output, without damage to

internal components. If line voltage fluctuations exceedthis range, serious damage could occur. Therefore,prior to installation, it is recommended that the linevoltage of the supply circuit be measured at severaltimes during the day. If fluctuations beyond the +/-10%level are detected, another supply circuit should beselected, or the local power company should be askedto adjust the supply. In addition, certain types of factoryequipment can cause rapid voltage swings (transients)which can cause the SVI 300i safety circuits to “trip”.Examples of such equipment are resistance welders,punch presses, and starting of large electric motors.Should tripping by such transients become a problem,ESAB has available a “Primary Line Conditioner” (P/N15983) which can be added to filter out transient volt-ages. Contact your distributor for details. Please notethat the "conditioner" will not correct for sustained linefluctuations which exceed the 10% limits of its ratedvoltage inputs. If your input power cannot be maintainedwithin the 10% limits, consult your local power companyor contact the ESAB factory for possible solutions.

A. Input Terminal Board, U.S. Model (Figure2-2). If you have 208- or 230-volt input power,use the following procedure to modify yourinput terminal board.

NOTEAvoid dropping attaching hardware (screws, nuts,washers) inside of the power source during thefollowing procedure. Parts left inside the powersource during operation may damage internal com-ponents.

1. Remove the 5/16" screw securing the accesspanel on the right side of the power source.

2. Lift the panel and locate the input terminalboard.

3. Remove the set of nuts, flat washers, andlockwashers securing each jumper and placethem in a safe place.

4. Re-position the jumpers as illustrated in figure2-2 and secure them with the hardware re-moved in the previous step.

NoteFlat washers and lockwashers must ALWAYS be usedto secure the jumpers.

may either use the factory-installed input powercable (No. 8 AWG, 4/c, type SO (90 °C), 12 ft(3.7 m) length) or provide your own inputpower leads. If you choose to provide yourown, make sure they are insulated copperconductors. You must have two (single-phase)or three (three-phase) power leads and oneground wire. The wires may be heavy rubbercovered cable or may be run in a solid orflexible conduit. Refer to Table 2-1 for recom-mended input conductors and line fuse sizes.

Table 2-1. Recommended Input Conductors and Fuse Sizes

* Sizes per National Electric Code for 90 °C rated copper conductors@ 30 °C ambient. Not more than three conductors in raceway or cable.Local codes should be followed if they specify larger sizes other thanthose listed above.

Use the following procedure to disconnect the factory-installed cable and connect your own input power leads/cable.

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! It is of the utmostimportance that the chassis be connected to anapproved electrical ground to prevent accidentalshocking. Take care not to connect the ground wireto any of the primary leads.

NOTEAvoid dropping attaching hardware (screws, nuts,washers) inside of the power source during thefollowing procedure. Parts left inside of the powersource during operation may damage internal com-ponents.

4. Loosen the ON-OFF switch cable connections(L1-L3) located inside the power source.

5. Remove the factory-installed power cable.

6. Thread your power leads/cable from the line(wall) disconnect switch through the strainrelief hole in the rear panel of the powersource.

7. Attach the leads to the ON-OFF switch cableconnections as shown in figure 2-3 and se-cure tightly.

8. Tighten the strain relief and ground connectionsecurely.

9. Re-attach top cover with hardware removed instep 1.

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Make sure the groundlead is at least twice as long as the input power leadson the inside of the power source (see Figure 2-3).Ensure the strain relief and ground connection aresecurely tightened.

If these conditions are not met, the power sourcechassis may become electrically "hot" if excessivestress is placed on the input power cable.

If it is necessary to move the power source after ithas been connected to primary power, ensure thatthe power source is turned OFF, and that an ad-equate amount of "slack" is maintained in the inputpower cable.

If you have single-phase input power and are using thefactory-installed power cable, you must change the ON-OFF switch cable connections from three-phase tosingle-phase configuration as follows:

1. Remove the 5/16" screws securing the topcover and place them in a safe place.

2. Remove the top cover and set aside.

3. Loosen the ON-OFF switch cable connectionL2 located inside the power source (see Fig-ure 2-3).

4. Remove the red wire from cable connectionL2.


13

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! After the red wire hasbeen removed from L2, its center conductor isexposed. This conductor must be covered with aninsulating material. Failure to do so properly couldcause a serious electrical shock hazard.

5. Re-attach the top cover with hardware re-moved in step 1.

2.4 OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Before making anyconnections to the power source output terminals,make sure that all primary power input power isdeenergized (OFF) at the line (wall) disconnect switchor circuit breaker.

Two male plug connectors (P/N 13792513) are suppliedwith the SVI 300i (see Figure 2-3). To assemble theconnectors onto each of your welding cables, refer tothe following instructions:

1. Slip the insulating boot over the end of thecable.

2. Strip the wire approximately 1-1/2" (37 mm)from the end.

3. Place the ferrule over the stripped wire end.

4. Place the male connector over the ferrule andtighten the two Allen screws until they areflush with the connector.

5. Slide the insulating boot over the assembly.

Refer to Tables 2-2 and 2-3 and Figures 2-4, 2-5, 2-6,and 2-7 when attaching welding cables and optionalequipment to the SVI 300i.

Particular attention should be paid to the electricalresistance in the welding circuit; especially, the workand work cable and when using a water-cooled torch.High resistance in the welding circuit can cause perfor-mance deterioration (loss of "heat" input, popping ofweld puddle, bushy arcs, etc.). It is recommended thatthe power source/wire feeder and workpiece be placedas close together as possible to limit this resistance.Make sure that the work cable (ground) is large enough,kept as short as possible, properly insulated, securelyconnected to the workpiece, and that all connections areclean and tightly secured. If the work circuit includesmechanical fixtures, ship structure, robot fixtures, etc.,make sure that the circuit is secure and presents a lowresistance path to the flow of weld current. Also, thepower cable on a water-cooled torch is normally subjectto gradual deterioration and increasing resistance dueto corrosion which leads to the poor performance de-scribed above. To assure good torch performance, thewater-cooled power cable should be replaced periodi-cally.

3.1 GENERAL

Never, under any circumstances, operate the powersource with the cover removed. In addition to thesafety hazard, improper cooling may cause damageto internal components.

To prevent serious injury, never touch any torchparts forward of the handle (nozzle, electrode, etc.)unless the power switch is in the off position.

Wear proper protective gloves, clothing, safetyglasses, and helmet. A helmet with filter lens shadeNo. 11-14 should provide adequate protection foryour eyes. Refer to the Safety Precautions in thebeginning of this manual for additional operatingprecautions.

3.2 WELDING CONTROLS / INDICATORS(Figure 3-1)

A. VOLTAGE/CURRENT- This potentiometersets and regulates the desired amount ofwelding voltage/current required for your ap-plication. In constant voltage (CV) mode, volt-age is controlled. In constant current (CC)mode, current is controlled. The dial surround-

ing the knob provides a convenient referencefor resetting prior welding conditions. TheCONTROL switch must be in the PANELposition for the VOLTAGE/CURRENT poten-tiometer to function.

B. MAIN POWER - This light will illuminate whenthe PRIMARY POWER switch (located on therear panel) is placed in the ON position. Thisrotary switch provides primary input power toenergize the control circuitry.

C. HI/LOW LINE- This light is "on" when the inputvoltage is too high or too low. If a fault isdetected, the contactor will deenergize andthe power source will stop welding. Since thiscondition can be caused by a transient volt-age, try operating the torch switch again toresume welding. If tripping continues, stopand refer to section 5.

D. OVER TEMP- This light is "on" if componentsin the power source overheat. If this happens,allow the unit to cool with the primary powerswitch in the ON position (the fan will help coolthe power source). Continue with welding onlywhen this light goes "off".

E. SLOPE- This 3-position switch sets the slopeof the volt-ampere curve characteristic in theMIG (CV) mode. This control is bypassed inthe TIG and Stick modes. In MIG (GMAW)welding, slope is particularly useful in short-

foot control, or hand pendant control.

I. CONTROL- This switch determines the loca-tion from which welding voltage/current will beregulated. In the PANEL position, full-rangevoltage/current is controlled by setting theVOLTAGE/CURRENT potentiometer on thefront panel. When MIG (CV) welding, thisPANEL position is used for conventional wirefeeders without voltage control capability. Inthe REMOTE position, full range voltage/cur-rent control is regulated from a wire feederwith voltage control capability (CV) or from aremote control accessory (CC).

J. Digital Meter- This instrument provides directdigital reading of open-circuit voltage, weldingvoltage, or welding current depending on theposition of the VOLTS/AMPS selector switch.

3.3 MIG / GMAW (CV) Operation

A. Make all secondary output connections to thepower source output receptacles as describedin section 2 and as shown in the appropriatewire feeder and/or control instruction litera-ture.

B. After the primary input connections have beenmade in accordance with section 2, close themain wall disconnect switch or circuit breaker.

C. Place the primary power switch in the ONposition. This will apply power to the controlcircuitry as indicated by the MAIN POWERlight on the front panel.

D. Place the CONTROL switch in the desiredposition from which full-range welding voltagewill be regulated. Use the PANEL position forcontrol from the power source's front panel(typical for conventional MIG wire feeders), orthe REMOTE position for remote voltage con-trol wire feeders and/or accessories.

E. Place the CONTACTOR switch in the RE-MOTE position.

F. Place the MIG/TIG/STICK switch in the MIGposition.

G. Set a wire feed speed and begin welding.

H. Depending on the position of the CONTROLswitch, set the appropriate VOLTAGE poten-tiometer for your desired welding voltage.

circuiting transfer (“short-arc”, “dip transfer”)and for welding of aluminum. Slope adjust-ments control the short-circuit current andreduce spatter during short-circuiting weldingof steel, and reduce the current fluctuationswhich can cause instability when welding alu-minum. Refer to Table 3-1 for available set-tings. Typical slope settings are shown onTable 3-2 for several different electrode types,shielding gases, and arc modes. For morecomplete explanation of the function of slope,refer to the “Mig Welding Handbook”, Part No.791F18, or The Welding Handbook, publishedby the American Welding Society.

Table 3-1. Slope Settings

F. INDUCTANCE/ARC FORCE- Arc penetra-tion and wetting action are regulated by thiscontrol when using the constant voltage mode.Varying the inductance permits the operatorto optimize arc characteristics of short circuit-ing transfer. In general, increasing induc-tance will cause a “wetter,” more fluid puddle,and lower the short circuiting frequency. Typi-cal inductance settings are shown on Table 3-2 for several different electrode types, shield-ing gases, and arc modes. (As with SLOPE,a more complete description of the function ofInductance can be found in the “Mig WeldingHandbook”, Part No. 791F18, or The WeldingHandbook, published by the American Weld-ing Society).

In the constant current mode (stick welding),this control adjusts the rise in current as thearc gets shorter. Thus, by increasing the ARCFORCE setting, the electrode will penetratemore deeply and operation will become some-what more harsh, with increased spatter.

G. MIG/TIG/STICK- Weld process selection isprovided by this switch.

H. CONTACTOR- This switch determines thelocation for contactor initiation. When placedin the ON position, the contactor is closed andwelding voltage is available at the output re-ceptacles. When placed in the REMOTE po-sition, contactor closure is controlled by aremote control device such as a wire feeder,

I. Set the INDUCTANCE potentiometer to pro-vide the desired amount of inductance to suityour MIG welding condition. Since excessiveinductance may impede arc starting, an initialsetting of "0" is recommended. Inductancecontrol is particularly effective and primarilyused in short circuiting arc applications.

NOTEWhen the HC-5 remote hand control is plugged into thepower source, the INDUCTANCE potentiometer on thepower source is disabled even when the power source'sCONTROL switch is placed in the PANEL position.

J. Set the SLOPE switch to provide the desiredslope characteristic (FLAT, MEDIUM, orSTEEP) required for your operation. Refer toTable 3-2 for recommended settings.

K. Commence welding operations by energizingthe torch switch.

D. Place the CONTROL switch in the desiredposition from which full-range welding currentwill be regulated. Use the PANEL position forcontrol from the power source's front panel, orthe REMOTE position for control from a re-mote control accessory.

E. Place the CONTACTOR switch in the appro-priate position. Use the PANEL position forcontrol from the power source's front panel, orthe REMOTE position for control from a re-mote control accessory.

F. Place the MIG/TIG/STICK switch in the TIGposition.

G. Ensure the power source's digital meter is setto read AMPS.

H. Depending on the position of the CONTROLswitch, set the appropriate CURRENT poten-tiometer for your desired welding current.

NOTEWhen the HC-5 remote hand control is plugged into thepower source, the ARC FORCE potentiometer (used forstick welding) on the power source is disabled evenwhen the power source's CONTROL switch is placed inthe PANEL position.

J. Make sure you have a good clean ground anda secure workpiece. Also, ensure that shield-ing gas is turned on and flowing. Refer toTable 3-4 for recommended shielding gases.

K. To establish the welding arc, place theCONTACTOR switch on the front panel or theswitch on the remote control or torch to the ONposition. This will energize the solid-statecontactor and provide welding power to thetorch/electrode. Touch the electrode to theworkpiece. When ready to weld, lift the torch1/4" away from the workpiece. Welding cur-rent will automatically slope up to the presetamount when the arc is established. Makesure the CONTACTOR switch is turned "off"after each weld is completed.

L. For remaining accessory operations, refer tothe appropriate instruction literature suppliedwith your particular system.

SECTION 3 OPERATION

3.5 Stick / SMAW (CC) Operation

A. Make all secondary output connections to thepower source output receptacles as describedin section 2 and as shown in the appropriateaccessory instruction literature.



ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Make sure that thecontactor control switch on the remote control ac-cessory is in the "off" position (until you are readyto weld), otherwise, the electrode in the holder willbe "electrically-hot" and could shock you.

D. Place the CONTROL switch in the desiredposition from which full-range welding currentwill be regulated. Use the PANEL position for

control from the power source's front panel, orthe REMOTE position for control from a re-mote control accessory.

E. Depending on the position of the power sourceCONTROL switch, place the CONTACTORswitch in the ON or REMOTE position.

F. Place the MIG/TIG/STICK switch in the STICKposition.

G. Ensure the power source's digital meter is setto read AMPS.

H. Set the ARC FORCE and CURRENT potenti-ometers to "0".

I. Commence welding and adjust the CURRENTand ARC FORCE potentiometers as requiredfor the stick electrode type and diameter beingused. Follow the electrode manufacturer'srecommendations.

J. Make sure the CONTACTOR switch is turnedOFF after each weld is completed.

K. For remaining accessory operations, refer tothe appropriate instruction literature suppliedwith your system.

SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE

20

4.1 GENERAL

If this equipment does not operate properly, stop workimmediately and investigate the cause of the malfunc-tion. Maintenance work must be performed by an expe-rienced person, and electrical work by a trained electri-cian. Do not permit untrained persons to inspect, clean,or repair this equipment. Use only recommended re-placement parts.

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Be sure that the line(wall) disconnect switch or circuit breaker is openbefore attempting any work inside the power source.Always wear safety goggles with side shields whenblowing out the power source with air.

4.2 INSPECTION AND CLEANING

Since there are no moving parts (other than the fan) inthe power source, maintenance consist mainly of keep-ing the interior of the cabinet clean. Periodically, removethe cover from the cabinet, and wearing proper eyeprotection, blow accumulated dust and dirt from the airpassages and the interior components, using clean lowpressure air. It is imperative that the air passages, to theinterior of the unit, be free of dirt to ensure adequatecirculation of cooling air, especially over the rectifierbridge plates. The length of time between cleaning willdepend on the location of the unit, and the amount ofdust in the atmosphere.

SECTION 5 TROUBLESHOOTING

21

5.1 GENERAL

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Before attemptinginspection or work inside the power source, be surethat all primary power to the machine has beenexternally disconnected and the line (wall) discon-nect switch or circuit breaker is open.

5.2 FUNCTIONALITY CHECK (Table 5-1)

The SVI 300i Functionality Check should be used toverify proper power source operation. Before perform-ing the following checks, disconnect the remote connec-tions (WIRE FEEDER and REMOTE CONTROL) fromrear of power source and make sure there is no loadattached to the output terminals.

Table 5-1. SVI 300i Functionality Check

YES NO

1. Are input power supply connections properly secured? Go to nextstep.

Refer toSection 2.

2. Are the jumpers on the input terminal board properly configured andsecured?

Go to nextstep.

3. If using 3-phase power, are all three primary leads securely connected toprimary power switch.If using single-phase power, are black and white leads securely connected toprimary power switch?

Go to nextstep.

4. Position power source controls as follows:

CONTACTOR - ONVOLTS/AMPS - VOLTSCONTROL - PANELMIG/TIG/STICK - STICKCURRENT - "0"ARC FORCE - "0"SLOPE- Not Applicable in Stick mode.
