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.
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 to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.
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 fol low youremployer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available fromyour welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

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 instruc-tions et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissentdans ce manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûretégénérales suivantes:
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 unegrande partie du corps peut être en contact avec lamasse.
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 soud-er parce 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 pro-téger contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Nejamais enrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quellepartie du 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 durayonnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soudeou quand 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-inflamma-bles.
4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l’arc desoudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protectionlibres de l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse,pantalons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.
5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone desoudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans leszones 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 lesvapeurs du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas forte-ment 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 codede l’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dis-positif de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché àune bonne mise à la terre.
2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du posteseront effectués par un électricien qualifié.
3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’ interieur de poste, ladebrancher à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur

B-5OPERATIONB-5
PARALLEL OPERATION
The Invertec’s are operable in parallel. For bestresults, the currents of each machine should be rea-sonably well shared. As an example, with twomachines set up in parallel for a 300 amp procedure,each machine should be set to deliver approximately150 amps, not 200 amps from one and 100 ampsfrom the other. This will minimize nuisance feedbackconditions. In general, more than two machines in par-allel will not be effective due to the voltage require-ments of procedures in that power range.
To set machine outputs, start with output control potsand arc force pots in identical positions. Adjust out-puts and arc forces to maintain current sharing whileestablishing the proper output current.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The machine is electrically protected from producinghigh output currents. Should the output currentexceed 290A, an electronic protection circuit willreduce the current to less than 200A. The machinewill continue to produce this low current until the pro-tection circuit is reset. Reset occurs when the outputload is removed.
THERMAL PROTECTION
Thermostats protect the machine from excessiveoperating temperatures. Excessive temperatures maybe caused by a lack of cooling air or operating themachine beyond the duty cycle and output rating. Ifexcessive operating temperature should occur, thethermostats will prevent output voltage or current.
Thermostats are self-resetting once the machine coolssufficiently. If the thermostat shutdown was caused byexcessive output or duty cycle and the fan is operatingnormally, the Power Switch may be left on and thereset should occur within a 15 minute period. If the fanis not turning or the air intake louvers were obstructed,then the power must be switched off for 15 minutes inorder to reset. The fan problem or air obstruction mustalso be corrected.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
1. Perform the following preventive maintenanceprocedures at least once every six months. It isgood practice to keep a preventive maintenancerecord; a record tag attached to the machineworks best.
2. Remove the machine wrap-around cover and per-form the input filter capacitor discharge procedure(detail at the beginning of this chapter).
3. Keeping the machine clean will result in cooleroperation and higher reliability. Be sure to cleanthe following areas with a low pressure airstream. See figure D.2 for component locations.
• Power and control printed circuit boards
• Power switch
• Main transformer
• Input rectifier
• Heat sink fins
• Input Filter Capacitors
• Output Terminals
4. Examine capacitors for leakage or oozing. Replaceif needed.
5. Examine the sheet metal case for dents or break-age. Repair the case as required. Keep the casein good condition to ensure that high voltageparts are protected and correct spacings aremaintained. All external sheet metal screws mustbe in place to assure case strength and electricalground continuity.
6. Check electrical ground continuity. Using an ohm-meter, measure resistance between either outputterminal and an unpainted surface of the machinecase. (See Figure D.2 for locations.) Meter readingshould be 500,000 ohms or more. If meter readingis less than 500,000 ohms, check for electricalcomponents that are not properly insulated fromthe case. Correct insulation if needed.
7. Replace machine cover and screws.
FILTER CAPACITORCONDITIONING
A protection circuit is included to monitor the voltageacross filter capacitors C1 and C2. In the event thatthe capacitor voltage is too high, the protection circuitwill prevent output. Nominal trip setting is at 230/460VAC +15%. Reset occurs about 3% lower (230/460VAC +12%).
On new installations, the protection circuit may alsoprevent output providing all these circumstances aremet:
1. Machine is connected for 380-415 or 440-460VAC input.
2. Machine did not have power applied for manymonths.
3. Machine will not produce output when power isfirst switched on.
If these circumstances apply, the proper action is toswitch the machine on and let it idle for up to 30 min-utes. This is required to condition the filter capacitorsafter an extended storage time. The protection circuitwill automatically reset once the capacitor conditioningand resultant voltage levels are acceptable. It may benecessary to turn the power switch off and back onagain after this period.

OC GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Invertec V250-S is a 250 amp arc welding power source that utilizes either single or three phase input powerto produce a constant current output. The output response of this machine has been optimized for the SMAWand TIG welding processes.
E-3THEORY OF OPERATIONE-3
PRECHARGE AND PROTECTION
The input voltage is rectified and the DC voltage isapplied, through the reconnect switch, to the powerboard. The power board contains precharging circuit-ry for the safe charging of the input filter capacitors.Once the capacitors are precharged and balanced thecontrol board activates the CR1 input relay which con-nects full input power to the filter capacitors. Whenthe filter capacitors are fully charged they act aspower supplies for the IGBT switching circuit. TheInsulated Gate Bipolar Transistors supply the maintransformer primary windings with DC current flow.See IGBT Operation Discussion and diagrams inthis section. The power board also monitors the filter capacitors forvoltage balance and/or overvoltage and, if eithershould occur, sends the appropriate signal to the con-trol board to deactivate the CR1 input relay. Themachine output will also be disabled.

MAIN TRANSFORMER
Each IGBT pair acts as a switch assembly. Eachassembly feeds a separate, oppositely wound primarywinding of the main transformer. The reverse direc-tions of current flow through the main transformer pri-maries and the offset timing of the IGBT pairs inducean AC square wave output signal at the secondary ofthe main transformer. The DC current flow through each primary winding isredirected or “clamped” back to each respective filtercapacitor when the IGBTs are turned off. This isneeded due to the inductance of the transformer pri-mary winding. The primary currents also pass through the currenttransformer which sends a signal to the control board.If the primary currents are not equal the control boardcompensates by adjusting the IGBT gate signals. The firing of both IGBT pairs occurs during halves ofthe 50 microsecond intervals, creating a constant 20KHZ output.

OUTPUT RECTIFICATION AND CONTROL
The AC output from the main transformer secondaryis rectified to a DC output and applied to the outputterminals. Output voltage and current feedback infor-mation, which is fed to the control board, is sensed atthe output terminals and shunt. The control boardmonitors the panel controls and remote control recep-tacle and compares these commands to the feedbackinformation to determine how the output should becontrolled to optimized welding results. The controlboard controls the IGBT switching through pulse widthmodulation circuitry. See IGBT Operation Discussionin this section.

E-6THEORY OF OPERATIONE-6
PROTECTION CIRCUITS
Protective circuits are designed into the V250-Smachine to sense trouble and shut down the machinebefore the trouble damages the internal machine com-ponents. Both overload and thermal protection cir-cuits are included.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The V250-S is electrically protected from producinghigh output currents. Should the output currentexceed 290 amps, an electronic protection circuit willreduce the current to less than 200 amps. LincolnElectric refers to this current reduction as “Fold Back”.The machine will continue to produce this low currentuntil the protection circuit is reset. Reset occurs whenthe output load is removed.
A protection circuit is included to monitor the voltageacross the input filter capacitors. In the event that thecapacitor voltage is too high, the protection circuit willprevent output. On new installations, the protection circuit may pre-vent output, due to unbalanced capacitor leakages,providing the following circumstances are met:
1. Machine is connected for 380 - 460VAC input.
2. Machine did not have power applied for manymonths.
3. Improper connections.
4. Internal component damage.
THERMAL PROTECTION
Thermostats protect the machine from excessiveoperating temperatures. Excessive temperatures maybe caused by a lack of cooling air or operating themachine beyond the duty cycle and output rating. Ifexcessive operating temperature should occur, thethermostat will prevent output voltage or current andthe thermal indicator light will glow.
Thermostats are self-resetting once the machine coolssufficiently. If the thermostat shutdown was causedbe excessive output or duty cycle and the fan is oper-ating normally, the power switch may be left on andthe reset should occur within 15 minute period. If thefan is not turning or the air intake louvers wereobstructed, then the power must be switched off for 15minutes in order to reset. The fan problem or airobstruction must be corrected.

E-7THEORY OF OPERATIONE-7
INSULATED GATE BIPOLAR TRANSISTOR (IGBT) OPERATION
An IGBT is a type of transistor. IGBTs are semicon-ductors well suited for high frequency switching andhigh current applications.
Drawing A shows an IGBT in a passive mode. Thereis no gate signal, zero volts relative to the source, andtherefore, no current flow. The drain terminal of theIGBT may be connected to a voltage supply; but sincethere is no conduction the circuit will not supply cur-rent to components connected to the source. The cir-cuit is turned off like a light switch in the OFF position.
Drawing B shows the IGBT in an active mode. Whenthe gate signal, a positive DC voltage relative to the
source, is applied to the gate terminal of the IGBT, itis capable of conducting current. A voltage supplyconnected to the drain terminal will allow the IGBT toconduct and supply current to circuit componentscoupled to the source. Current will flow through theconducting IGBT to downstream components as longas the positive gate signal is present. This is similarto turning ON a light switch.

E-8THEORY OF OPERATIONE-8
PULSE WIDTH MODULATION
The term PULSE WIDTH MODULATION is used todescribe how much time is devoted to conduction inthe positive and negative portions of the cycle.Changing the pulse width is known as MODULATION.Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is the varying of thepulse width over the allowed range of a cycle to affectthe output of the machine.
MINIMUM OUTPUT
By controlling the duration of the gate signal, the IGBTis turned on and off for different durations during acycle. The top drawing below shows the minimumoutput signal possible over a 50-microsecond timeperiod.
The positive portion of the signal represents one IGBTgroup1 conducting for 1 microsecond. The negativeportion is the other IGBT group1. The dwell time (offtime) is 48 microseconds (both IGBT groups off).Since only 2 microseconds of the 50-microsecondtime period is devoted to conducting, the output poweris minimized.
MAXIMUM OUTPUT
By holding the gate signals on for 24 microsecondseach and allowing only 2 microseconds of dwell time(off time) during the 50-microsecond cycle, the outputis maximized. The darkened area under the top curvecan be compared to the area under the bottom curve.The more dark area under the curve, the more poweris present.

F-3TROUBLESHOOTING & REPAIRF-3
_______________________________CAUTION: Sometimes machine failuresappear to be due to PC board failures. Theseproblems can sometimes be traced to poorelectrical connections. To avoid problemswhen troubleshooting and replacing PCboards, please use the following procedure:
1. Determine to the best of your technicalability that the PC board is the most likelycomponent causing the failure symptom.
2. Check for loose connections at the PCboard to assure that the PC board is prop-erly connected.
3. If the problem persists, replace the sus-pect PC board using standard practices toavoid static electrical damage and electri-cal shock. Read the warning inside thestatic resistant bag and perform the follow-ing procedures:
P.C. Board can be dam-aged by static electricity.
- Remove your body’s stat-ic charge before openingthe static-shielding bag.Wear an anti-static wriststrap. For safety, use a 1Meg ohm resistive cordconnected to a groundedpart of the equipmentframe.
- If you don’t have a wriststrap, touch an unpainted,grounded, part of the
equipment frame. Keep touching the frame toprevent static build-up. Be sure not to touchany electrically live parts at the same time.
- Tools which come in contact with the P.C.Board must be either conductive, anti-static orstatic-dissipative.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.Have an electrician installand service this equip-ment. Turn the input powerOFF at the fuse box beforeworking on equipment. Donot touch electrically hotparts.
- Remove the P.C. Board from the static-shielding bag and place it directly into theequipment. Don’t set the P.C. Board on ornear paper, plastic or cloth which could havea static charge. If the P.C. Board can’t beinstalled immediately, put it back in the static-shielding bag.
- If the P.C. Board uses protective shortingjumpers, don’t remove them until installationis complete.
- If you return a P.C. Board to The LincolnElectric Company for credit, it must be in thestatic-shielding bag. This will prevent furtherdamage and allow proper failure analysis.
4. Test the machine to determine if the fail-ure symptom has been corrected by thereplacement PC board.
NOTE: It is desirable to have a spare (knowngood) PC board available for PC board trou-bleshooting.
NOTE: Allow the machine to heat up so thatall electrical components can reach their oper-ating temperature.
5. Remove the replacement PC board andsubstitute it with the original PC board torecreate the original problem.
a. If the original problem does not reap-pear by substituting the originalboard, then the PC board was not theproblem. Continue to look for badconnections in the control wiring har-ness, junction blocks, and terminalstrips.
b. If the original problem is recreated bythe substitution of the original board,then the PC board was the problem.Reinstall the replacement PC boardand test the machine.
6. Always indicate that this procedure wasfollowed when warranty reports are to besubmitted.
NOTE: Following this procedure and writing on thewarranty report, “INSTALLED AND SWITCHED PCBOARDS TO VERIFY PROBLEM,” will help avoiddenial of legitimate PC board warranty claims.
