CV-400
Rugged, Proven Construction
for Wire Welding
The rugged CV-400 is ready to tackle MIG and cored wire
fabrication and production work in a variety of industries:
transportation, heavy equipment, structural steel, railroad,
furniture, appliances and sheet metal fabrication. Simple
fixed inductance, time-proven technology and heavy-duty
construction will deliver years of reliable performance.

Advantage Lincoln
• Lincoln’s unique fixed inductance design delivers exceptional
short-circuit metal transfer characteristics.
• 115V and 42V wire feeder auxiliary power with circuit breaker
protection.
• Connect wire feeders via either 14-pin MS-type or
terminal strip.
• Internal components, including windings, rectifiers and circuit
boards, are coated to protect against the effects of moisture
and corrosion.

A CLOSER LOOK
PERFORMANCE
• Provides line voltage compensation for maintaining weld
consistency, even with changes of ±10%.
• Full output control potentiometer lets operator accurately
regulate power levels.
• Excellent arc stability and weld consistency.
FEATURES
• Quick, simple 14-pin MS-type (amphenol) wire feeder connection.
• Low flat-top case can be placed under a workbench or stacked
on top of each other for smaller footprint.
• Remote control of output is possible via 14 pin connector on the
control panel or terminal strip connection.
