The Ironhorse, A Portable
DC Inverter Welder
Designed For Subways and Commuter trains.
Salisbury,
MD. ARCON Welding LLC, a manufacturer of portable
industrial welding machines, is introducing The Ironhorse 300S 700V
DC, the first portable DC inverter welding machine to be manufactured
by a welding power supply company and marketed especially for use in
subway and commuter train systems.
What
is unique about this 300-Amp Stick/TIG welder is its ability to run
off the DC power of the third rail or overhead catenary systems between
500 and 800 Volts DC. The 80lb (36.3Kg) Ironhorse is
ideally suited for tunnels where AC primary power is not readily available,
and provides subway and commuter systems with alternatives to using
generators, thermite, or to powering down. In addition, The Ironhorse
may provide a healthier and safer alternative to those options
currently available. The Ironhorse also features a "safety yellow" fiberglass
case with extra thick drag skids. These are just two of the features
specifically recognized by New York City Transit Authority. As a member
of The Workhorse family of inverter type welders, The
Ironhorse offers the following new and unique features, not
available on other brands:
Constant
Arc Power (CAP). With this unique feature, there
is less dependency on the operator's ability to hold the tip of the
electrode at a constant distance from the base metal. In other words,
the CP feature compensates for an unsteady hand. With this feature,
The Ironhorse is easier to master than conventional Constant
Current (CC) machines and enables the average welder to become more
skilled. Its user-friendly CP feature will help him or her complete
the job in less time without sacrificing workmanship quality.
The
Ironhorse, A Portable DC Inverter Welder Arc Force Control (AFC)
allows the operator to adjust the current surge when a droplet shorts
the arc. AFC drastically reduces slag inclusions.
Input Voltage
Compensation (IVC) will provide steady output voltage
when the input voltage fluctuates with, for example, the starting and
stopping of trains.
Voltage Spike
Protection. (VSP) The Ironhorse has a built-in VSP
to handle surges up to 40,000 Amps. Such Input voltage spikes are caused
by surges from either generators or utility power lines.
Rugged, Very Reliable
Power Supply Design
The Ironhorse
operating system is based on the same reliable technology
that has been tested and proved in more than 100,000 welding machines
around the world. Field data statistics has proven the SCR design
to be100 times more durable for this type of application than the
IGBT semiconductor used in competing brands.
