SECTION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: These Safety Precautions are for
your protection. They summarize precaution­ary information from the references listed in
Additional Safety Information section. Before performing any installation or operating procedures, be sure to read and follow the safety precautions listed below as well as all other manuals, material safety data sheets, labels, etc. Failure to observe Safety Precautions can result in injury or death.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS Some welding, cutting, and gouging processes are noisy and require ear protection. The arc, like the sun, emits
ultraviolet (UV) and other radiation and can injure skin and eyes. Hot metal can cause burns. Training in the proper use of the processes and equip­ment is essential to prevent accidents. Therefore:
1. Always wear safety glasses with side shields in any work
area, even if welding helmets, face shields, and goggles are also required.
2. Use a face shield fitted with the correct filter and cover
plates to protect your eyes, face, neck, and ears from sparks and rays of the arc when operating or observing operations. Warn bystanders not to watch the arc and not to expose themselves to the rays of the electric-arc or hot metal.
3. Wear flameproof gauntlet type gloves, heavy long-sleeve
shirt, cuffless trousers, high-topped shoes, and a weld­ing helmet or cap for hair protection, to protect against arc rays and hot sparks or hot metal. A flameproof apron may also be desirable as protection against radiated heat and sparks.
4. Hot sparks or metal can lodge in rolled up sleeves,
trouser cuffs, or pockets. Sleeves and collars should be kept buttoned, and open pockets eliminated from the front of clothing
5. Protect other personnel from arc rays and hot sparks
with a suitable non-flammable partition or curtains.
6. Use goggles over safety glasses when chipping slag or
grinding. Chipped slag may be hot and can fly far. Bystanders should also wear goggles over safety glasses.
FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS -- Heat from flames and arcs can start fires. Hot slag or sparks can also cause fires and ex­plosions. Therefore:
1. Remove all combustible materials well away from the
work area or cover the materials with a protective non­flammable covering. Combustible materials include wood, cloth, sawdust, liquid and gas fuels, solvents, paints and coatings, paper, etc.
2. Hot sparks or hot metal can fall through cracks or
crevices in floors or wall openings and cause a hidden smoldering fire or fires on the floor below. Make certain that such openings are protected from hot sparks and metal.“
3. Do not weld, cut or perform other hot work until the
workpiece has been completely cleaned so that there are no substances on the workpiece which might pro­duce flammable or toxic vapors. Do not do hot work on closed containers. They may explode.
4. Have fire extinguishing equipment handy for instant use,
such as a garden hose, water pail, sand bucket, or portable fire extinguisher. Be sure you are trained in its use.
5. Do not use equipment beyond its ratings. For example, overloaded welding cable can overheat and create a fire hazard.
6. After completing operations, inspect the work area to make certain there are no hot sparks or hot metal which could cause a later fire. Use fire watchers when neces­sary.
7. For additional information, refer to NFPA Standard 51B, "Fire Prevention in Use of Cutting and Welding Pro-
--
1
cesses", available from the National Fire Protection Asso­ciation, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK -- Contact with live electrical parts and ground can cause severe injury or death. DO NOT use AC welding current in damp areas, if move­ment is confined, or if there is danger of falling.
1. Be sure the power source frame (chassis) is connected to the ground system of the input power.
2. Connect the workpiece to a good electrical ground.
3. Connect the work cable to the workpiece. A poor or missing connection can expose you or others to a fatal shock.
4. Use well-maintained equipment. Replace worn or dam­aged cables.
5. Keep everything dry, including clothing, work area, cables, torch/electrode holder, and power source.
6. Make sure that all parts of your body are insulated from work
and from ground.
7. Do not stand directly on metal or the earth while working in tight quarters or a damp area; stand on dry boards or an insulating platform and wear rubber-soled shoes.
8. Put on dry, hole-free gloves before turning on the power.
9. Turn off the power before removing your gloves.
10. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (listed on next page) for specific grounding recommendations. Do not mistake the work lead for a ground cable.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS — May be dangerous. Electric current flow­ing through any conductor causes lo­calized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding and cutting current cre­ates EMF around welding cables and welding machines. Therefore:
1. Welders having pacemakers should consult their physi­cian before welding. EMF may interfere with some pace­makers.
2. Exposure to EMF may have other health effects which are unknown.
3. Welders should use the following procedures to minimize exposure to EMF: A. Route the electrode and work cables together. Secure
them with tape when possible. B. Never coil the torch or work cable around your body. C. Do not place your body between the torch and work
cables. Route cables on the same side of your body.
D. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possible to the area being welded. E. Keep welding power source and cables as far away
from your body as possible.

SECTION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FUMES AND GASES -- Fumes and gases, can cause discomfort or harm, particularly in confined spaces. Do not breathe fumes and gases. Shield­ing gases can cause asphyxiation. Therefore:
1. Always provide adequate ventilation in the work area by natural or mechanical means. Do not weld, cut, or gouge on materials such as galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper, zinc, lead, beryllium, or cadmium unless positive mechanical ventilation is provided. Do not breathe fumes from these materials.
2. Do not operate near degreasing and spraying opera­tions. The heat or arc rays can react with chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritant gases.
3. If you develop momentary eye, nose, or throat irritation while operating, this is an indication that ventilation is not adequate. Stop work and take necessary steps to im­prove ventilation in the work area. Do not continue to operate if physical discomfort persists.
4. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (see listing below) for specific ventilation recommendations.
5. WARNING: This product, when used for welding or
cutting, produces fumes or gases which contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California Health &
Safety Code
CYLINDER HANDLING -- Cylinders, if mishandled, can rupture and violently release gas. Sudden rupture of cylin­der, valve, or relief device can injure or kill. Therefore:
1. Use the proper gas for the process and use the proper pressure reducing regulator designed to operate from the compressed gas cylinder. Do not use adaptors. Maintain hoses and fittings in good condition. Follow manufacturer's operating instructions for mounting regu­lator to a compressed gas cylinder.
2. Always secure cylinders in an upright position by chain or strap to suitable hand trucks, undercarriages, benches, walls, post, or racks. Never secure cylinders to work tables or fixtures where they may become part of an electrical circuit.
3. When not in use, keep cylinder valves closed. Have valve protection cap in place if regulator is not con­nected. Secure and move cylinders by using suitable hand trucks. Avoid rough handling of cylinders.
4. Locate cylinders away from heat, sparks, and flames. Never strike an arc on a cylinder.
5. For additional information, refer to CGA Standard P-1, "Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Cylinders", which is available from Compressed Gas Association, 1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

SECTION PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ
AVERTISSEMENT: Ces règles de sécurité ont pour objet d’ assurer votre protection. Veillez à lire et à observer les précautions énoncées ci-dessous avant de monter l’ équipement ou de commercer à l’utiliser. Tout défaut d’observation de ces précautions risque d’entraîner des blessures graves ou mortelles.
1. PROTECTION INDIVIDUELLE-- Les brûlures de la
peau et des yeux dues au rayonnement de l’arc électrique ou du métal incandescent, lors du soudage au plasma ou à l’électrode ou lors du gougeage à l’arc, peuvent s’avérer plus graves que celles résultant d’une exposition prolongée au soleil. Aussi convient­il d’observer les précautions suivantes:
a. Portez un écran facial adéquat muni des plaques
protectrices et des verres filtrants appropriés afin de vous protéger les yeux, le visage, le cou et les oreilles des étincelles et du rayonnement de l’arc électrique lorsque vous effectuez des soudures ou des coupes ou lorsque vous en observez l’exécution.
AVERTISSEZ les personnes se trouvant à proximité
de façon à ce qu’elles ne regardent pas l’arc et à ce qu’elles ne s’exposent pas à son rayonnement, ni à celui du métal incandescent.
b. Portez des gants ignifugés à crispins, une tunique
épaisse à manches longues, des pantalons sans rebord, des chaussures à embout d’acier et un casque de soudage ou une calotte de protection, afin d’éviter d’exposer la peau au rayonnement de l’arc électrique ou du métal incandescent. ll est également souhaitable d’utiliser un tablier ininflammable de façon à se protéger des étincelles et du rayonnement thermique.
c. Les étincelles ou les projections de métal incandes-
cent risquent de se loger dans des manches retroussées, des bords relevés de pantalons ou dans des poches. Aussi convient-il de garder boutonnés le col et les manches et de porter des vêtements sans poches à l’avant.
d. Protégez des étincelles et du rayonnement de l’arc
électrique les autres personnes travaillant à proximité à l’aide d’un écran ininflammable adéquat.
e. Ne jamais omettre de porter des lunettes de sécurité
lorsque vous vous trouvez dans un secteur où l’on effectue des opérations de soudage ou de coupage à l’arc. Utilisez des lunettes de sécurité à écrans ou verres latéraux pour piquer ou meûler le laitier. Les piquetures incandescentes de laitier peuvent être projetées à des distances considérables. Les personnes se trouvant à proximité doivent également porter des lunettes de protection.
f. Le gougeage à l’arc et le soudage à l’arc au plasma
produisent un niveau de bruit extrêmement élevé (de 100 à 114 dB) et exigent par conséquent l’emploi de dispositifs appropriés de protection auditive.
2 PRÉVENTION DES INCENDES-- Les projections de
laitier incandescent ou d’étincelles peuvent provoquer de graves incendies au contact de matériaux com­bustibles solides, liquides ou gazeux. Aussi faut-il
observer les précautions suivantes:
a. Éloigner suffisamment tous les matériaux combustibles
du secteur où l’on exécute des soudures ou des coupes à l’arc, à moins de les recouvrir complètement d’une bâche non-inflammable. Ce type de matériaux comprend notamment le bois, les vêtements, la sciure, l’essence, le kérosène, les peintures, les solvants, le gaz naturel, l’acétylène, le propane et autres substances combus­tibles semblables.
b. Les étincelles ou les projections de métal incandescent
peuvent tomber dans des fissures du plancher ou dans des ouvertures des murs et y déclencher une ignition lente cachée. Veiller à protéger ces ouvertures des étincelles et des projections de métal.
c. N’exécutez pas de soudures, de coupes, d’opérations
de gougeage ou autres travaux à chaud à la surface de barils, bidons, réservoirs ou autres contenants usagés, avant de les avoir nettoyés de toute trace de substance susceptible de produire des vapeurs inflammables ou toxiques.
d. En vue d’assurer la prévention des incendies, il convient
de disposer d’un matériel d’extinction prêt à servir immédiatement, tel qu’un tuyau d’arrosage, un seau à eau, un seau de sable ou un extincteur portatif.
e. Une fois le travail à l’arc terminé, inspectez le secteur de
façon à vous assurer qu’aucune étincelle ou projection de métal incandescent ne risque de provoquer ultérieurement un feu.
3. CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE-- Le gougeage à l’arc et à l’arc au plasma exige l’emploi de tensions à vide relativement importantes; or, celles-ci risquent de causer des dommages corporels graves et même mortels en cas d’utilisation inadéquate. La gravité du choc électrique reçu dépend du chemin suivi par le courant à travers le corps humain et de son intensité.
a. Ne laissez jamais de surfaces métalliques sous tension
venir au contact direct de la peau ou de vêtements humides. Veillez à porter des gants bien secs.
b. Si vous devez effectuer un travail sur une surface
métallique ou dans un secteur humide, veillez à assu-rer votre isolation corporelle en portant des gants secs et des chaussures à semelles de caoutchouc et en vous tenant sur une planche ou une plate-forme sèche.
c. Mettez toujours à la terre le poste de soudage/coupage
en le reliant par un câble à une bonne prise de terre.
d. N’utilisez jamais de câbles usés ou endommagés. Ne
surchargez jamais le câble. Utilisez toujours un équipement correctement entretenu.
e. Mettez l’équipement hors tension lorsqu’il n’est pas en
service. une mise à la masse accidentelle peut en effet provoquer une surchauffe de l’équipement et un danger d’incendie. Ne pas enrouler ou passer le câble autour d’une partie quelconque du corps.
f. Vérifiez si le câble de masse est bien relié à la pièce en
un point aussi proche que possible de la zone de travail. Le branchement des câbles de masse à l’ossature du bâtiment ou en un point éloigné de la zone de travail augmente en effet le risque de passage d’un courant de sortie par des chaînes de

SECTION PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ
levage, des câbles de grue ou divers chemins électriques.
g. Empêchez l’apparition de toute humidité, notamment
sur vos vêtements, à la surface de l’emplacement de travail, des câbles, du porte-électrode et du poste de soudage/coupage. Réparez immédiatement toute fuite d’eau.
4. VENTILATION-- La respiration prolongée des fumées résultant des opérations de soudage/coupage, à l’intérieur, d’un local clos, peut provoquer des mal­aises et des dommages corporels. Aussi convient-il d’observer les précautions suivantes:
a. Assurez en permanence une aération adéquate de
l’emplacement de travail en maintenant une ventila­tion naturelle ou à l’aide de moyens mécaniques. N’effectuez jamais de travaux de soudage ou de coupage sur des matériaux de zinc, de plomb, de beryllium ou de cadmium en l’absence de moyens mécaniques de ventilation capables d’empêcher l’inhalation des fumées dégagées par ces matériaux.
b. N’effectuez jamais de travaux de soudage ou de
coupage à proximité de vapeurs d’hydrocarbure chloré résultant d’opérations voisines de dégraissage ou de pulvérisation. La chaleur dégagée ou le rayonnement de l’arc peut déclencher la formation de phosgène -­gaz particulièrement toxique -- et d’autres gaz irri­tants, à partir des vapeurs de solvant.
c. Une irritation momentanée des yeux, du nez ou de la
gorge constatée au cours de l’utilisation de l’équipement dénote un défaut de ventilation. Arrêtez­vous de travailler afin de prendre les mesures néces­saires à l’amélioration de la ventilation. Ne poursuivez pas l’opération entreprise si le malaise persiste.
d. Certaines commandes comportent des canalisations
où circule de l’hydrogène. L’armoire de commande est munie d’un ventilateur destiné à empêcher la forma­tion de poches d’hydrogène, lesquelles présentent un danger d’explosion; ce ventilateur ne fonctionne que si l’interrupteur correspondant du panneau avant se trouve placé en position ON (Marche). Veillez à manœuvrer cette commande en vérifiant si le couvercle est bien en place, de façon à assurer l’efficacité de la ventilation ainsi réalisée. Ne jamais débrancher le ventilateur.
e. Les fumées produites par l’opération de soudage ou
de coupage peuvent s’avérer toxiques. Aussi est-il nécessaire de disposer en permanence d’un dispositif adéquat de ventilation de type aspirant, afin d’élimi­ner du voisinage de l’opérateur tout dégagement de fumée visible.
f. Consultez les recommandations particulières en matière
de ventilation indiquées à l’alinéa 6 de la norme Z49.1 de l’AWS.
5. ENTRETIEN DE L’ÉQUIPEMENT-- Un équipement entretenu de façon défectueuse ou inadéquate risque non seulement de réaliser un travail de mauvaise
qualité mais, chose plus grave encore, d’entraîner des dommages corporels graves, voire mortels en déclenchant des incendies ou des chocs électriques. Observez par conséquent les précautions suivantes:
a. Efforcez-vous de toujours confier à un personnel qua-
lifié l’installation, le dépannage et l’entretien du poste de soudage et de coupage. N’effectuez aucune réparation électrique sur l’équipement à moins d’être qua-lifié à cet effet.
b. Ne procédez jamais à une tâche d’entretien quelconque
à l’intérieur du poste de soudage/coupage, avant d’avoir débranché l’alimentation électrique.
c. Maintenez en bon état de fonctionnement les câbles,
le câble de masse, les branchements, le cordon d’alimentation et le poste de soudage/coupage. N’utilisez jamais le poste ou l’équipement s’il présente une défectuosité quelconque.
d. Prenez soin du poste de soudage et de coupage et des
équipements accessoires. Gardez-les à l’écart des sources de charleur, notamment des fours, de l’humidité, des flaques d’eau maintenez-les à l’abri des traces d’huile ou de graisse, des atmosphères corro­sives et des intempéries.
e. Laissez en place tous les dispositifs de sécurité et tous
les panneaux de l’armoire de commande en veillant à les garder en bon état.
f. Utilisez le poste de soudage/coupage conformément à
son usage prévu et n’effectuez aucune modification.

SECTION 1 DESCRIPTION
1.1 GENERAL
Refer to Table 1-1 for technical specifications.
The SVI 300i is a high performance constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) inverter power source designed to provide multi-process welding capabilities with dependability and ease of use. The SVI 300i is a self-contained unit which will produce power for Gas Metal Arc (MIG), Gas Tungsten Arc (TIG) and Shielded Metal Arc (Stick) welding without the use of optional apparatus. The SVI 300i is rated at 300 amperes at 60% duty cycle.
For MIG (CV) welding, the SVI 300i supports welding a wide selection of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys by utilizing three-step slope and variable inductance con­trols.
1.2 DUTY CYCLE
The SVI 300i power source will operate on a 60% duty cycle with a load of 300 amperes at 32 V dc (with 3­phase input). Duty cycle is defined as the ratio of operating time to total time. Ratings are based on a 10­minute cycle. The 60% duty cycle rating means that the 300 ampere, 32 volt rated load can be applied for a total of 6 minutes and shut off for a total of 4 minutes in a 10­minute period. If the welding current (or voltage) is reduced, the duty cycle increases. Conversely, if the welding current (or voltage) is increased, the duty cycle will decrease. Refer to Figure 1-2.
A special "lift-arc" circuit eliminates the need for high frequency or "scratch" starting when using the TIG (CC) welding process. This feature provides smooth starts without contaminating the electrode or the work.
The Stick (CC) welding mode provides adequate open circuit voltage (72 V dc) for easy starts and re-starts as well as an adjustable arc force which controls arc penetration and wetting action.
The "Fan-on-Demand" feature operates the cooling fan only when the contactor is energized or when the internal temperature exceeds the safe operating level. During normal operation, the fan shuts down about 4 minutes after the contactor disengages.

1.3 VOLT-AMPERE CURVES
Figure 1-2 illustrates the static volt-ampere characteris­tics for the power source in the MIG (CV), TIG (CC), and Stick (CC) modes. The slant of these curves is referred to as the 'slope' and is generally defined as the 'voltage drop per 100 amperes of current rise'. These curves show the output voltage available at any given output current between the minimum and maximum settings of the output control. Values for other settings fall between

NOTE: These measurements are made at the output terminals of the power source. Additional voltage "drops" will occur in the welding cable, torch cable, and in the workpiece. The use of proper size welding cable and secure electrical connections for the electrode and ground circuits will minimize these effects which ad-
versely affect welding conditions and waste electrical energy.

SECTION 2 INSTALLATION
2.1 GENERAL
This section provides detailed instructions for the proper installation of the SVI 300i power source from initial receipt of the equipment to output welding connections. It is recommended that these instructions be followed carefully to allow for the best possible operating environ­ment.
2.2 REQUIRED TOOLS
Some procedures require use of the following tools: 5/16" wrench, 7/16" wrench, 5/16" allen wrench, and a straight blade screwdriver. The use of socket wrenches or nutdrivers are recommended over straight wrenches due to the location of attaching hardware.
CORRECT
2.3 UNPACKING AND PLACEMENT
NOTE When lifting the SVI 300i, apply direct upward pressure to both of the carrying handles. Do not transport the SVI 300i with only one handle or apply outward pressure to the handles. See Figure 2-1.
A. Immediately upon receipt of the SVI 300i,
inspect for damage which may have occurred in transit. Notify the carrier of any defects or damage at once.
B. After removing the components from the ship-
ping container(s), check the container for any loose parts. Remove all packing materials.

SECTION 2 INSTALLATION
C. Check air passages of power source for any
packing materials that may obstruct air flow through the power source.
D. If the equipment is not to be installed immedi-
ately, store it in a clean, dry, well-ventilated area.
E. The location of the power source should be
carefully selected to ensure satisfactory and dependable service. Choose a location rela­tively close to a properly fused source of electrical power.
F. The machine components are maintained at
proper operating temperatures by forced air which is drawn through the cabinet by the fan unit. For this reason, it is important that the machine be located in an open area where air can circulate freely at front and rear openings. If space is at a premium, leave at least 1 foot (300 mm) of clearance between the rear of the power source and wall or other obstruction. The area around the unit should be relatively free of dust, fumes, and excessive heat. It is also desirable to locate the unit so the cover can be removed easily for cleaning and main­tenance.
2.4 INPUT CONNECTIONS
internal components. If line voltage fluctuations exceed this range, serious damage could occur. Therefore, prior to installation, it is recommended that the line voltage of the supply circuit be measured at several times during the day. If fluctuations beyond the +/-10% level are detected, another supply circuit should be selected, or the local power company should be asked to adjust the supply. In addition, certain types of factory equipment can cause rapid voltage swings (transients) which can cause the SVI 300i safety circuits to “trip”. Examples of such equipment are resistance welders, punch presses, and starting of large electric motors. Should tripping by such transients become a problem, ESAB has available a “Primary Line Conditioner” (P/N
15983) which can be added to filter out transient volt­ages. Contact your distributor for details. Please note that the "conditioner" will not correct for sustained line fluctuations which exceed the 10% limits of its rated voltage inputs. If your input power cannot be maintained within the 10% limits, consult your local power company or contact the ESAB factory for possible solutions.
A. Input Terminal Board, U.S. Model (Figure
2-2). If you have 208- or 230-volt input power,
use the following procedure to modify your input terminal board.
NOTE Avoid dropping attaching hardware (screws, nuts, washers) inside of the power source during the following procedure. Parts left inside the power source during operation may damage internal com­ponents.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Precautionary mea­sures should be taken to provide maximum protec­tion against electrical shock.
Be sure that all power is OFF by opening the line (wall) disconnect switch when primary electrical connections are made to the power source.
To be doubly safe, check your input leads with a voltmeter to make sure all power is OFF.
NOTE As shipped from the factory, the SVI-300i, 230/460 V version, is setup for 460 volts input. If you are using the unit from a 230 V supply, modifications must be made to the terminal board and at the ON-OFF switch. The necessary modifications are described in this section.
The SVI-300i is designed to compensate for line voltage variations of plus or minus 10 percent from the rated level while maintaining rated output, without damage to
1. Remove the 5/16" screw securing the access panel on the right side of the power source.

may either use the factory-installed input power cable (No. 8 AWG, 4/c, type SO (90 °C), 12 ft (3.7 m) length) or provide your own input power leads. If you choose to provide your own, make sure they are insulated copper conductors. You must have two (single-phase) or three (three-phase) power leads and one ground wire. The wires may be heavy rubber covered cable or may be run in a solid or flexible conduit. Refer to Table 2-1 for recom­mended input conductors and line fuse sizes.

Use the following procedure to disconnect the factory­installed cable and connect your own input power leads/ cable.
4. Loosen the ON-OFF switch cable connections (L1-L3) located inside the power source.
5. Remove the factory-installed power cable.
6. Thread your power leads/cable from the line (wall) disconnect switch through the strain relief hole in the rear panel of the power source.
7. Attach the leads to the ON-OFF switch cable connections as shown in figure 2-3 and se­cure tightly.
8. Tighten the strain relief and ground connection securely.
9. Re-attach top cover with hardware removed in step 1.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Make sure the ground lead is at least twice as long as the input power leads on the inside of the power source (see Figure 2-3). Ensure the strain relief and ground connection are securely tightened.
If these conditions are not met, the power source chassis may become electrically "hot" if excessive stress is placed on the input power cable.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! It is of the utmost importance that the chassis be connected to an approved electrical ground to prevent accidental shocking. Take care not to connect the ground wire to any of the primary leads.
NOTE Avoid dropping attaching hardware (screws, nuts, washers) inside of the power source during the following procedure. Parts left inside of the power source during operation may damage internal com­ponents.
1. Remove the 5/16" screws securing the top cover and place them in a safe place.
2. Remove the top cover and set aside.
3. Loosen the strain relief on the lower right-hand corner of the rear panel.
If it is necessary to move the power source after it has been connected to primary power, ensure that the power source is turned OFF, and that an ad­equate amount of "slack" is maintained in the input power cable.
If you have single-phase input power and are using the factory-installed power cable, you must change the ON­OFF switch cable connections from three-phase to single-phase configuration as follows:
1. Remove the 5/16" screws securing the top cover and place them in a safe place.
2. Remove the top cover and set aside.
3. Loosen the ON-OFF switch cable connection L2 located inside the power source (see Fig­ure 2-3).
4. Remove the red wire from cable connection L2.

Particular attention should be paid to the electrical resistance in the welding circuit; especially, the work and work cable and when using a water-cooled torch. High resistance in the welding circuit can cause perfor-
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! After the red wire has been removed from L2, its center conductor is exposed. This conductor must be covered with an insulating material. Failure to do so properly could cause a serious electrical shock hazard.
5. Re-attach the top cover with hardware re­moved in step 1.
2.4 OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Before making any connections to the power source output terminals, make sure that all primary power input power is deenergized (OFF) at the line (wall) disconnect switch or circuit breaker.
Two male plug connectors (P/N 13792513) are supplied with the SVI 300i (see Figure 2-3). To assemble the connectors onto each of your welding cables, refer to the following instructions:
1. Slip the insulating boot over the end of the cable.
2. Strip the wire approximately 1-1/2" (37 mm) from the end.
3. Place the ferrule over the stripped wire end.
4. Place the male connector over the ferrule and tighten the two Allen screws until they are flush with the connector.
5. Slide the insulating boot over the assembly.
Refer to Tables 2-2 and 2-3 and Figures 2-4, 2-5, 2-6, and 2-7 when attaching welding cables and optional equipment to the SVI 300i.
mance deterioration (loss of "heat" input, popping of weld puddle, bushy arcs, etc.). It is recommended that the power source/wire feeder and workpiece be placed as close together as possible to limit this resistance. Make sure that the work cable (ground) is large enough, kept as short as possible, properly insulated, securely connected to the workpiece, and that all connections are clean and tightly secured. If the work circuit includes mechanical fixtures, ship structure, robot fixtures, etc., make sure that the circuit is secure and presents a low resistance path to the flow of weld current. Also, the power cable on a water-cooled torch is normally subject to gradual deterioration and increasing resistance due to corrosion which leads to the poor performance de­scribed above. To assure good torch performance, the water-cooled power cable should be replaced periodi­cally.

SECTION 3 OPERATION
3.1 GENERAL
Never, under any circumstances, operate the power source with the cover removed. In addition to the safety hazard, improper cooling may cause damage to internal components.
To prevent serious injury, never touch any torch parts forward of the handle (nozzle, electrode, etc.) unless the power switch is in the off position.
Wear proper protective gloves, clothing, safety glasses, and helmet. A helmet with filter lens shade No. 11-14 should provide adequate protection for your eyes. Refer to the Safety Precautions in the beginning of this manual for additional operating precautions.
3.2 WELDING CONTROLS / INDICATORS (Figure 3-1)
A. VOLTAGE/CURRENT- This potentiometer
sets and regulates the desired amount of welding voltage/current required for your ap­plication. In constant voltage (CV) mode, volt­age is controlled. In constant current (CC) mode, current is controlled. The dial surround-
ing the knob provides a convenient reference for resetting prior welding conditions. The CONTROL switch must be in the PANEL position for the VOLTAGE/CURRENT poten­tiometer to function.
B. MAIN POWER - This light will illuminate when
the PRIMARY POWER switch (located on the rear panel) is placed in the ON position. This rotary switch provides primary input power to energize the control circuitry.
C. HI/LOW LINE- This light is "on" when the input
voltage is too high or too low. If a fault is detected, the contactor will deenergize and the power source will stop welding. Since this condition can be caused by a transient volt­age, try operating the torch switch again to resume welding. If tripping continues, stop and refer to section 5.
D. OVER TEMP- This light is "on" if components
in the power source overheat. If this happens, allow the unit to cool with the primary power switch in the ON position (the fan will help cool the power source). Continue with welding only when this light goes "off".
E. SLOPE- This 3-position switch sets the slope
of the volt-ampere curve characteristic in the MIG (CV) mode. This control is bypassed in the TIG and Stick modes. In MIG (GMAW) welding, slope is particularly useful in short-

circuiting transfer (“short-arc”, “dip transfer”) and for welding of aluminum. Slope adjust­ments control the short-circuit current and reduce spatter during short-circuiting welding of steel, and reduce the current fluctuations which can cause instability when welding alu­minum. Refer to Table 3-1 for available set­tings. Typical slope settings are shown on Table 3-2 for several different electrode types, shielding gases, and arc modes. For more complete explanation of the function of slope, refer to the “Mig Welding Handbook”, Part No. 791F18, or The Welding Handbook, published by the American Welding Society.
Table 3-1. Slope Settings
Switch Position Process / Material Slope
FLAT MEDIUM STEEP
Spray Arc Short Arc/MS/AL Short Arc/MS/AL/SS
1 V / 100 A 3 V / 100 A 6 V / 100 A
F. INDUCTANCE/ARC FORCE- Arc penetra-
tion and wetting action are regulated by this control when using the constant voltage mode. Varying the inductance permits the operator to optimize arc characteristics of short circuit­ing transfer. In general, increasing induc­tance will cause a “wetter,” more fluid puddle, and lower the short circuiting frequency. Typi­cal inductance settings are shown on Table 3­2 for several different electrode types, shield­ing gases, and arc modes. (As with SLOPE, a more complete description of the function of Inductance can be found in the “Mig Welding Handbook”, Part No. 791F18, or The Welding Handbook, published by the American Weld­ing Society).
In the constant current mode (stick welding),
this control adjusts the rise in current as the arc gets shorter. Thus, by increasing the ARC FORCE setting, the electrode will penetrate more deeply and operation will become some­what more harsh, with increased spatter.
G. MIG/TIG/STICK- Weld process selection is
provided by this switch.
H. CONTACTOR- This switch determines the
location for contactor initiation. When placed in the ON position, the contactor is closed and welding voltage is available at the output re­ceptacles. When placed in the REMOTE po­sition, contactor closure is controlled by a remote control device such as a wire feeder,
foot control, or hand pendant control.
I. CONTROL- This switch determines the loca-
tion from which welding voltage/current will be regulated. In the PANEL position, full-range voltage/current is controlled by setting the VOLTAGE/CURRENT potentiometer on the front panel. When MIG (CV) welding, this PANEL position is used for conventional wire feeders without voltage control capability. In the REMOTE position, full range voltage/cur­rent control is regulated from a wire feeder with voltage control capability (CV) or from a remote control accessory (CC).
J. Digital Meter- This instrument provides direct
digital reading of open-circuit voltage, welding voltage, or welding current depending on the position of the VOLTS/AMPS selector switch.
3.3 MIG / GMAW (CV) Operation
A. Make all secondary output connections to the
power source output receptacles as described in section 2 and as shown in the appropriate wire feeder and/or control instruction litera­ture.
B. After the primary input connections have been
made in accordance with section 2, close the main wall disconnect switch or circuit breaker.
C. Place the primary power switch in the ON
position. This will apply power to the control circuitry as indicated by the MAIN POWER light on the front panel.
D. Place the CONTROL switch in the desired
position from which full-range welding voltage will be regulated. Use the PANEL position for control from the power source's front panel (typical for conventional MIG wire feeders), or the REMOTE position for remote voltage con­trol wire feeders and/or accessories.
E. Place the CONTACTOR switch in the RE-
MOTE position.
F. Place the MIG/TIG/STICK switch in the MIG
position. G. Set a wire feed speed and begin welding. H. Depending on the position of the CONTROL
switch, set the appropriate VOLTAGE poten-
tiometer for your desired welding voltage.
17
SECTION 3 OPERATION
I. Set the INDUCTANCE potentiometer to pro-
vide the desired amount of inductance to suit your MIG welding condition. Since excessive inductance may impede arc starting, an initial setting of "0" is recommended. Inductance control is particularly effective and primarily used in short circuiting arc applications.
NOTE When the HC-5 remote hand control is plugged into the power source, the INDUCTANCE potentiometer on the power source is disabled even when the power source's CONTROL switch is placed in the PANEL position.
J. Set the SLOPE switch to provide the desired
slope characteristic (FLAT, MEDIUM, or STEEP) required for your operation. Refer to Table 3-2 for recommended settings.
K. Commence welding operations by energizing
the torch switch.
L. For remaining wire feeder or control opera-
tions, refer to the appropriate instruction litera­ture supplied with your particular system.
3.4 TIG / GTAW (CC) Operation
A. Make all secondary output connections to the
power source output receptacles as described in section 2 and as shown in the appropriate accessory instruction literature.
B. After the primary input connections have been
made in accordance with section 2, close the main wall disconnect switch or circuit breaker.
C. Place the primary power switch in the ON
position. This will apply power to the control circuitry as indicated by the MAIN POWER light on the front panel.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Make sure that the contactor control switch on the remote control ac­cessory is in the "off" position until you are ready to weld. Otherwise, the electrode in the torch will be "electrically-hot" and could shock you.
D. Place the CONTROL switch in the desired
position from which full-range welding current will be regulated. Use the PANEL position for control from the power source's front panel, or the REMOTE position for control from a re­mote control accessory.
E. Place the CONTACTOR switch in the appro-
priate position. Use the PANEL position for control from the power source's front panel, or the REMOTE position for control from a re­mote control accessory.
F. Place the MIG/TIG/STICK switch in the TIG
position.
G. Ensure the power source's digital meter is set
to read AMPS.
H. Depending on the position of the CONTROL
switch, set the appropriate CURRENT poten­tiometer for your desired welding current.
NOTE When the HC-5 remote hand control is plugged into the power source, the ARC FORCE potentiometer (used for stick welding) on the power source is disabled even when the power source's CONTROL switch is placed in the PANEL position.
J. Make sure you have a good clean ground and
a secure workpiece. Also, ensure that shield­ing gas is turned on and flowing. Refer to Table 3-4 for recommended shielding gases.
K. To establish the welding arc, place the
CONTACTOR switch on the front panel or the switch on the remote control or torch to the ON position. This will energize the solid-state contactor and provide welding power to the torch/electrode. Touch the electrode to the workpiece. When ready to weld, lift the torch 1/4" away from the workpiece. Welding cur­rent will automatically slope up to the preset amount when the arc is established. Make sure the CONTACTOR switch is turned "off" after each weld is completed.
L. For remaining accessory operations, refer to
the appropriate instruction literature supplied with your particular system.

position. This will apply power to the control circuitry as indicated by the MAIN POWER light on the front panel.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Make sure that the contactor control switch on the remote control ac­cessory is in the "off" position (until you are ready to weld), otherwise, the electrode in the holder will be "electrically-hot" and could shock you.
D. Place the CONTROL switch in the desired
position from which full-range welding current will be regulated. Use the PANEL position for
control from the power source's front panel, or the REMOTE position for control from a re­mote control accessory.
E. Depending on the position of the power source
CONTROL switch, place the CONTACTOR switch in the ON or REMOTE position.
F. Place the MIG/TIG/STICK switch in the STICK
position.
G. Ensure the power source's digital meter is set
to read AMPS.
H. Set the ARC FORCE and CURRENT potenti-
ometers to "0".
I. Commence welding and adjust the CURRENT
and ARC FORCE potentiometers as required for the stick electrode type and diameter being used. Follow the electrode manufacturer's recommendations.
J. Make sure the CONTACTOR switch is turned
OFF after each weld is completed.
K. For remaining accessory operations, refer to
the appropriate instruction literature supplied with your system.

SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE
4.1 GENERAL
If this equipment does not operate properly, stop work immediately and investigate the cause of the malfunc­tion. Maintenance work must be performed by an expe­rienced person, and electrical work by a trained electri­cian. Do not permit untrained persons to inspect, clean, or repair this equipment. Use only recommended re­placement parts.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Be sure that the line (wall) disconnect switch or circuit breaker is open before attempting any work inside the power source. Always wear safety goggles with side shields when blowing out the power source with air.
4.2 INSPECTION AND CLEANING
Since there are no moving parts (other than the fan) in the power source, maintenance consist mainly of keep­ing the interior of the cabinet clean. Periodically, remove the cover from the cabinet, and wearing proper eye protection, blow accumulated dust and dirt from the air passages and the interior components, using clean low pressure air. It is imperative that the air passages, to the interior of the unit, be free of dirt to ensure adequate circulation of cooling air, especially over the rectifier bridge plates. The length of time between cleaning will depend on the location of the unit, and the amount of dust in the atmosphere.
