PHASE

MULTIPROCESS WELDERS

Idealarc

The DC-1500 is a multiprocess DC arc welding power source for automatic welding applications. It produces outstanding arc characteristics on both constant voltage and constant current processes. This provides great welding versatility in a single power source.

The DC-1500 is designed for submerged arc welding, and FCAW processes within the capacity of the machine. It produces outstanding welding performance with a single range full output control potentiometer.

The precise output of the DC-1500 enhances productivity and quality control when used with Lincoln NA-3 and NA-5 automatic wire feeders, and the LT-7 tractor.
