Technology Update

The constant current (CC) range is 10-500A at 35 per cent duty cycle for MMA and TIG welding, whilst for MIG welding the constant voltage (CV) range is 16-44V with 35 per cent duty cycle at 450A. It can provide 3-phase AC auxiliary power at 16 kVA/400V/23.1 A and single-phase AC generation at 12 kVA/230V/52.2A with a single-phase option of 6 kVA/110V/54.5A. The Perkins 404 C-22G water-cooled, 4-cylinder diesel engine has a low 69dB(A) noise level at 7m. The 60l fuel tank gives up to 15 hours running time at 60 per cent duty cycle, providing 20.3 kW output. It has as standard an electric start, hour meter, low fuel indicator, low oil pressure warning, and voltmeter. These are all super silenced to meet EU noise and safety regulations. Options include site and road tow capability, MIG wire feeder, remote controls, 15 and 20m, 50mm 2 welding cables and auxiliary power plugs as well as a voltage reduction device version.

New 500A diesel driven welding generator

Wilkinson Star Ltd, the sole UK representative of Mosa engine driven welding and generating sets, has launched a new Mosa DSP (Digital Signal Processing) 500 PS water cooled diesel driven welder generating set. This equipment includes chopper technology complementing Mosa’s

existing 400A, 600A and 2 x 400A Perkins powered 1,500rpm machines. This new multi-process (MIG, TIG and MMA) welder generator meets EEC directives. It is designed for use on pipelines producing X- ray quality welds, arduous onsite fabrication,

petrochemical plants, heavy plant maintenance, offshore operations as well as onsite general purpose welding and maintenance. multi-purpose DC ripple free welding capability including MMA, MIG, both solid and flux cored wire and TIG. It has
