OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
The Multi-Source has two parallel connected output
studs for positive and negative connections. Each one
is rated to carry the full output current. For its maximum
rated current at 100% duty cycle a minimum size of 4/0
AWG welding cable is recommended.
Connection of Electrode and Work Leads to Output
terminals.
1. Set the POWER ON/OFF Toggle Switch to OFF.
2. Raise the hinged cover protecting the output termi-
nals.
3. Insert the electrode lead up through the elliptical
hole in the machine base below the positive output
terminal. Pull through enough cable to reach the out-
put terminal.
4. Connect electrode lead to the terminal .
5. Tighten the output terminal nut with a wrench.
6. Connect the work lead to the negative output termi-
nal following steps 3-5.
7. Lower the cover to protect the output terminals.
PARALLELING
Machines may be paralleled for increased output. The
S20428 paralleling kit permits paralleling of two MULTI-
SOURCE power supplies for supplying currents of up
to 1000 amps, 100% duty cycle.
MULTI-SOURCE OUTPUT LIMITATIONS
The number of Multi-Weld Converters that may be con-
nected to a single Multi-Source Power Source is deter-
mined by the following formula:
Power Source (Volts x Amps) capacity > 1.1 x Sum
of Converters’ (Volts x Amps) arcs
The number of Multi-Weld 350s, the procedures used
and the combined duty cycle of the arcs are only limit-
ed by the 40,000 (36,000 watts on 50Hz) watt rating of
the Multi-Source supply. The machine is IP-23S rated
and is designed for outdoor applications.
DISTRIBUTION BOX
The Multi-Weld Distribution Box (K1736-1) is available
for interconnection of the Multi-System using the same
“pig-tail” connection method provided with the Multi-
Weld 350 converter. Six cable strain-relief ports are
provided for connection of up to (12) cables for distrib-
ution or “daisy-chain” inter-connection to other boxes.
Four “pig-tail” leads (see below) are included with the
Box.
“PIG TAIL” LEADS AND CONNEC-
TIONS
Accessory “pig tail” leads and Twist-Mate connectors
are available from Lincoln for extra connections to the
Multi-Weld 350 or the Distribution Box:
Order No.
