2.0 INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION
2.01 Description
The Thermal Arc
™
ARC MASTER 400 MSTP is a single & three-phase DC arc welding power source with Constant
Current (CC) and Constant Voltage (CV) output characteristics. This unit is equipped with a Digital Volt/Amperage, lift
arc starter for use with Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Arc Control and Hot Start for Shielded Metal Arc Welding
(SMAW), Inductance Control for Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) processes. The power source is totally enclosed in
an impact resistant, flame resistant and non-conductive plastic case.
