K1278-14 / SAE-400® Engine Drive (Perkins®)

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.
