GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CV-655 is an energy efficient constant voltage DC power
source that produces outstanding arc characteristics.
Four models are available:
Domestic - all 60 Hertz models except 230/460/575v.
NEMA Class 1 rated
Canadian - 230/460/575v 60 Hertz
NEMA Class 1 rated
European - 50/60 Hertz models rated for IEC 974-1
Export - 50/60 Hertz models NEMA Class 1 rated
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES AND
EQUIPMENT
The CV-655 is designed for GMAW (MIG), FCAW, and
CV submerged arc welding processes (SAW), plus the
capability of air carbon arc cutting (AAC) up to 3/8”
(10mm) diameter.
The CV-655 is recommended for use with Lincoln’s
DH-10 or LN-10 as well as the LN-7*, LN-7 GMA*, LN-
742, LN-8*, LN-9*, LN-9 GMA*, LN-23P and LN-25
semiautomatic wire feeders. It is also recommended
for use with the NA-3, NA-5 and NA-5R automatic
feeders, but “cold starting” for sub-arc cannot be used
(it must be jumpered out).
* The 14-pin MS receptacle on the European models
does not provide 115 VAC for these feeders; 115 VAC
must be obtained from terminal strip.
There are no provisions on the CV-655 for paralleling.
DESIGN FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES
• Two inductance positions: operator can choose the opti-
mum arc characteristics.
• Power on/off switch with pilot light and thermostat tripped
indicator light.
• Full range output voltage control for easy operation.
• Panel switches for remote or local output control, and out-
put on or remote selection.
• Hinged cover to protect output terminals and auxiliary con-
nections.
• 42 VAC, 10 amp auxiliary power available for the wire
feeder; circuit breaker protected.
DESIGN FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES
(CONT’D)
• 115 VAC, auxiliary power available for the wire feed-
er; circuit breaker protected. 20 amp breaker on
Domestic model and 15 amp breaker on Canadian,
European, and Export Models.
•
115VAC duplex plug receptacle available on
Domestic and Canadian Models. 20 amp breaker on
Domestic Models and 15 amp breaker on Canadian
Model.
• Single MS-type (14-pin) connection for wire feeder.
• Thermal Fan Control with electronic and thermostatic
protection for current overload and excessive temper-
atures.
•
Optional Field Installed Digital or Analog
Voltmeter/Ammeter kits are available.
• 220 VAC receptacle on European and Export models
for connecting to a water cooler. Protected by 2 amp
breaker.
WELDING CAPABILITY
The CV-655 has the following Output and Duty Cycle
based on operation for a 10 minute period:
650 Amps, 44 Volts at 100%
815 Amps, 44 Volts at 60%
