VANTAGE® 580

(1) Output rating in watts is equivalent to volt-amperes at unity power factor. Output voltage is within ± 10% at all loads up to rated capacity.

When welding, available auxiliary power will be reduced.

(2) Reduced to less than 30V in the CC-stick Mode when VRD (VOLTAGE REDUCTION DEVICE) is on.

(3) Maximum per circuit breaker rating.

(4) To Top of enclosure. Add 7.35 (186.7mm) to top of exhaust. Add 3.87”(98.3mm) to top of Lift Bail.
