Brand	LINCOLN ELECTRIC
Features	The Diesel Workhorse™ – For demanding jobs that call for high amperage capabilities, the SAE-400® offers 400 amps for DC stick welding and AC power. The SAE-400® is powered by a heavy duty Perkins® industrial diesel engine. This engine offers low maintenance and long life. Add CV wire welding with the optional CV Adapter. Rugged Construction – Designed with heavy gauge steel case withstands rough field handling. Dual Continuous Current Control – Equipped with a continuous current control that used in conjunction with a fine tuning control allows for precise setting of amps, volts, and slope for a digging, penetrating arc for root beads or a soft, buttery arc for stacking iron on the fill and cap passes. Tremendous control over the arc helps to overcome the most challenging joints on the job. High Duty Cycle Welding Output – 100% duty cycle at 400 amps and 60% duty cycle at 500 amps for the most demanding applications. Large-capacity DC weld output allows for multiple arcs with the Multi-Weld® 350 system. Available power of 22,500 watts at 60V DC. Generator Output – Euro and NEMA receptacles for 3,000 watts of 60 Hz, single-phase power at 120V or 240V. Industrial Diesel Engine – Powered by a 64.4 hp Perkins® naturally aspirated diesel engine.
