2.05 General<br />
The Power-Master <strong>500</strong> is a primary inverter DC power<br />
source that can be used for constant voltage and constant<br />
current weld processes. The output is rated at 450 Amps/<br />
38 Volts at 100% duty cycle and 560 Amps/42.4 Volts at<br />
60% duty cycle. The power source also provides 24VAC<br />
and 120VAC auxiliary outputs both rated at 10 Amps.<br />
Controls are built into the power source for Gas Tungsten<br />
arc welding (GTAW), Shielded Metal arc welding<br />
(SMAW), Carbon arc gouging (CAG) and Gas Metal arc<br />
welding (GMAW). An ArcForce/Inductance control is<br />
also provided to allow adjustment of the arc stiffness or<br />
drive for SMAW and GMAW welding processes<br />
The graphs in Figure 2-1 show the output volt-amp characteristics<br />
of the power source.<br />
