POWER WAVE® AC/DC 1000
PRODUCT SUMMARY
The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 is a high performance,
digitally controlled inverter welding power source. It is
capable of producing a variable frequency and ampli-
tude AC output, DC positive output, or DC negative
output without the need for external reconnection. It
utilizes complex, high-speed waveform control to sup-
port a variety of constant current and constant voltage
welding modes in each of its output configurations.
The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 power source is
designed to be a part of a modular welding system.
Each welding arc may be driven by a single machine,
or by a number of machines in parallel. In multiple arc
applications the phase angle and frequency of differ-
ent machines can be synchronized with the use of an
external System Interface to improve performance
and reduce the effects of arc blow.
The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 is primarily designed to
interface with compatible ArcLink equipment.
However, it can also communicate with other industri-
al machines and monitoring equipment via DeviceNet,
or Ethernet. The result is a highly integrated and flexi-
ble welding cell.
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES
The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 is designed for sub-
merged arc welding (SAW). Due to its modular design
the Power Wave AC/DC can operate on either single
arc or multiple arc applications. Each machine is fac-
tory preprogrammed with multiple welding procedures
to support all types of submerged arc welding. The
Power Wave AC/DC 1000 carries an output rating of
1000 amps, 44 volts (at 100% duty cycle). If higher
currents are required machines can be easily paral-
leled.
PROCESS LIMITATIONS
The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 is suitable only for the
processes listed.
Do not use Power Wave AC/DC 1000 for pipe thaw-
ing.
EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS
The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 is not to be used in
outdoor environments.
Operating Temperature Range is 32°F to 104°F(0°C
to +40°C).
Only the ArcLink Power Feed 10S series wire feeders
and Power Feed 10A controller may be used in a
standard system. Other Lincoln or non-Lincoln wire
feeders can only be used with custom interfaces.
The Power Wave AC/DC will support a maximum
average output current of 1000 Amps at 100% Duty
Cycle.
