4.1 General Description
The Workhorse power source combines time-proven technology with modern technology to
provide high-quality performance. The digitally controlled SCR type inverter is very reliable in
welding applications and able to deliver up to 400 Amps of power (@29% Duty Cycle).
4.2 Design Features
The Workhorse power source is designed to be portable and easily transported to provide many
benefits. No special lifting devices are required to move or maintain the machine. The machine
provides Constant Power output with Inverter-smooth arc, incorporating digitally-controlled
start/stop with no mechanical contactor. Other features include regulated output, step-less weld
power and time adjustment, short-circuit protection, automatic line voltage protection and 5-
zones of thermal protection. The sound the machine generates is somewhat different from the
sound of other inverter and non-inverter machines due to the Workhorses unique SCR type
inverter frequency. Operators should rest assured that the sound is normal and not a defect.
4.3 Controls and Settings – Front and Rear Panels. See Figure 4
4.3.1 Circuit Breaker (Power On/Off)
The Circuit Breaker is located on the control panel at the rear of the machine. Move
the switch lever up to the ON position to start the machine. This also activates the
Thermostat- controlled Cooling Fan for approximately 6 minutes indicating that
correct power connections have been made.
4.3.2 Electronically Controlled Cooling Fan
The cooling fan starts automatically when welder warms up and the welding current
exceeds 100 A. If the current drops below 100 Amps, the fan will stop after
approximately 6 minutes. If the fan is operating when the work is discontinued, the
fan will continue to run and stop after approximately six minutes.
4.3.3 Weld Current Range Selector
Two different settings (30 - 180 A and 80 - 400 A) are available. Each setting
defines a specific range of output current for the welder.
DO NOT adjust the range switch while under load!
4.3.4 Weld Power Control
This continuous control is used to adjust the welding current from minimum to
maximum value, depending on the setting of the Weld Current Range Selector.
