Vantage® 300

Compact, Multi-Process, Excellent Valu

The Vantage® 300 is an ideal choice for construction teams, pipe rig owners and rental fleet managers. Housed in a compact, corrosionresistant stainless steel case, this rugged welder/generator features Lincoln Chopper Technology® to deliver great arc starts and a smooth arc for stick, TIG or wire welding.

The quiet, smooth-running 1800 rpm water-cooled 4 cylinder Kubota® or Deutz® diesel engine generates 12,500 watts of 3 Phase or 11,500 watts of 1 Phase auxiliary power. And, it’s loaded with convenience features you’ll wish you had on your last welder! It all adds up— top arc performance, a smooth reliable engine, plenty of auxiliary power, compact case and tough materials that are built to last!

Compact Case With Stainless Steel Enclosure

-Small size and light weight is suitable for many pickup trucks. Standard stainless steel roof, side panels and engine-access door deliver added protection and durability.

Multi-Process Welding, Simple to Operate

-Select one of four Process Modes, including CC-Stick (up to 3/16"), Downhill Pipe (for stick), Touch-Start TIG® or CV-Wire (up to 5/64"), and then dial in the desired output.

- Digital Weld Meters included.

Plenty of AC Generator Power

-12.5 kW peak (11 kW continuous) 3-Phase 240V AC generator power. Will power industrial equipment such as a plasma cutter, pump or inverter welder.

-11.5 kW peak (10 kW continuous) 1-phase AC generator power for common construction tools.

Arc Gouging

-Arc gouging with up to 1/4" carbons.

Reliable Engines

-4 cylinder 1800 RPM Kubota® or Deutz® diesel engines run smooth and quiet. Standard engine gauges allow you to monitor performance at a glance.

Innovative Service Access

-Lockable, removable sliding engine access door provides ample space for engine and oil filter work without requiring a large clearance space on your truck. 55% more access than competitive product.

-Battery drawer on front of machine and top-mounted radiator cover provide convenient access to these systems.

-Patented tilt down control panel for easy servicing of internal components.

Arc Performance

300 amps @100% duty cycle with output range up to 400 amps. All ratings are at temperatures of 104°F/40°C.

WHAT IS CHOPPER TECHNOLOGY?

Traditional weld control is more

Chopper Technology®

variable around the desired output.

delivers extremely fast response

 

for smoother output control.

Patented and award-winning Lincoln Chopper Technology® delivers superior DC arc welding performancefor general purpose stick, Downhill Pipe, DC TIG, MIG, cored-wireand arc gouging.

Benefits of Chopper Technology® include:

-Easy arc starting

-Smooth arc action

-Low spatter levels

-Excellent bead appearance

Arc Gouging – The Vantage® 300 is capable of gouging with up to a 1/4" carbon.

CC-Stick mode is optimized for general purpose stick using E7018 low hydrogen electrode.

Built-in “hot” start for easier starts and restrikes minimizing the electrode “sticking” to the work.

Downhill pipe mode with active arc force control - enhanced downhill pipe welding mode. Excellent for cellulosic electrodes. Fast travel speeds, especially on fill passes. Arc control adjustment for a soft, buttery arc or a more forceful digging arc.

Standard DC Touch-Start TIG® welding, not scratch start, for easy arc starting that avoids tungsten contamination and the use of high-frequency.

WHAT IS TOUCH-START TIG®?

Touch-Start TIG® uses a very low voltage to sense when the tip of the tungsten electrode is touched to the work piece. When this occurs, a complete circuit is established. When the tungsten is then raised from the work piece, the circuit senses a change in voltage and initiates the appropriate welding current and voltage to support the TIG welding process.

Enjoy the added benefits of Lincoln’s Touch-Start TIG® when DC TIG welding. Not only do you avoid tungsten contamina - tion when arc starting, but you also don’t need extra high frequency equipment.

Excellent CV wire welding with cored-wire and MIG (CO2 and blended gas).

Generator Performance

3-Phase240V AC generatorpower rated at 12.5 kW peak

(11 kW continuous)output to power industrialequipmentsuch as a plasma cutter,pump or inverterwelder.Simultaneouslyweld and use 3-PhaseAC power - for example,up to 5,300 watts can be delivered while weldingat 200 amps. Compareto competitiveproductwhich does not have 3-Phasepower.

3-Phase 240V receptacle on control panel eliminates the need to hard-wire the connections.

The Vantage® 300 provides added value at the job site by delivering up to 11.5 kW peak (10 kW continuous) watts of 1-Phase AC auxiliary power for equipment such as a Lincoln plasma cutter. Also use for lights, grinders and other common construction tools. And, you can simultaneously weld and have access to AC power – 3,500 watts can be delivered while welding at 250 amps. Compareto competitiveproductwhich has no AC generatorpower at 225 amps weldingand above.

AC generator voltage is constant at 120V or 240V at any weld dial setting.

Two 120V GFCI duplex receptacles.

All receptacles are circuit breaker protected.

Convenient battery tray below control panel.

Latched and lockable radiator cap cover.

Handy oil drain valve and tube makes oil changes neat.

Two Great Engine Choices – Kubota® V1505 or Deutz® D2008L4. Both are 22 horsepower water-cooled 4 cylinder diesel engines. Both engines also have an automatic idler for greater fuel economy and reduced noise.

Engine hour meter for scheduled maintenance.

LN-25 PRO Arcoss-the-Arc wire feeder is a recommended option.

14-pin connector for Lincoln wire feeders with control cables: LF-72, LF-74, LN-7, LN-8, LN-15, LN23P,LN-25, and LN-742. Also compatible with Magnum® SG Spool Gun System.
