The Workhorse 300MS

CC/CV MIG/Stick Welder, 30-400A


 

True to its name, the portable Workhorse MIGweld 300MS is a very rugged multi-process MIG/Stick welding machine, weighing approximately 80lbs/36.3Kgs, and designed specifically for the industrial market. The underlying design concept was to employ proven electrical and mechanical technologies and build a “no-nonsense”, cost-effective machine where usability, reliability and ruggedness are the most important design parameters.

The electric circuitry is based on principles that over the years have proven their functionality and reliability in the over 100,000 welding machines sold and used around the world.

The fiberglass reinforced plastic case also provides unique benefits over the sheet metal and thermoplastic cases used in most competing products.

Product Specification


 

  • MIG/Stick welding current from 30 – 400 Amperes in 2 ranges.

  • Available in dual primary voltage, 240V (single or three phase) and 480V. Also available in single voltage 240V, 480V, 575V and 400V.

  • Easy to strike the arc

  • Carbon arc gouging protection. (Circuit design that eliminates the harmful currents caused during arc gouging has been added)

  • Constant-arc-power characteristic means less dependence on a steady hand to achieve a good weld and reduces risk for electrode “sticking”

  • The MIGweld 300MS can be used for MIG short arc with puddle control and spray transfer, Stick and carbon arc gouging.

  • The MIGweld 300MS uses all types of electrodes, including 6010-5P

  • The MIGweld 300MS is equipped with arc force control for stick welding

  • Smart surge control reduces weld puddle agitation caused by big drops from low hydrogen electrodes, eliminating a major cause of slag inclusions in the weld.

  • Corrosion Resistance: All welders shipped after June 15, 2005 include Seahorse protection to withstand corrosion in natural environments such as those found in shipyards, power plants, offshore oil rigs and in mines. Our process is based on experiences of 1,000+ welders used on the oil rigs in the North Sea. Arcon guarantees all models against corrosion-related failures for five-years.

  • Inverter circuitry allows for low weight (80lbs/36.3Kg) and rugged design.

  • Fiberglass enclosure allows for rough handling in demanding environments like construction sites, shipyards and offshore oil rigs.

  • The case has extra thick “skids” on the bottom case as part of the design allowing for the welder to be easily dragged on almost any surface.

  • Foldable handles with built-in grooves, as well as ridges in the case, makes nesting of units easy and practical.

  • Units can be connected in parallel for higher current or in series for higher voltage, should there be a need for that.
