INVERTER ARC WELDING MACHINES
The AMERARC I-400 MST arc welding machine is an inverter type arc
welder with 400 amps output for use with constant current (CC) and
constant voltage (CV) welding operations. The MST model is ideal for
welding with all the major shipboard welding processes:
• Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW-Stick) with all types
and sizes of electrodes
• Carbon Arc Gouging (CAC-A) with gouging rods up to 9 mm (3/8")
• Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW-TIG), with lift or scratch starting
with current as low as 5 amps
And with a wirefeeder...
• Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW-MIG) using the short spray
technique with 0.9 mm (0.035”) solid wire or the spray arc
technique with 1.3 mm (0.052”) wire
Specifications
Rated Output • Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) with cored wires up to
Amps 400A 2.4 mm (3/32")
Volts 44V
Duty Cycle 25% @ 400A
60% @ 300A Welding with any process is easy. The operator simply selects a
Output Range process, sets his current or voltage, and starts his job. Programmable
Amps 5 – 400A controls allow for maximum flexibility, offering either machine or remote
Volts 10 – 36V control of electric power and contactor. The MST allows adjustments for
Maximum OCV 80 OCV hot starting, hot current and arc control in the SMAW mode, inductance
Input Hz 50/60 Hz and material selection for GMAW, and pulse and slope controls for
GTAW. Five welding programs can be saved for standard applications.
Dimensions The AMERARC I-400 MST weighs only 29 kg so it is not difficult to take
Width 8.25 in/220 mm the machine to the work area, avoiding long cable lengths and both

Height 16.9 in/430 mm about the ship.
Weight 64.2 lb/29.2 kg
The MST accepts any power configuration: 208/330/460 volts,
Load Characteristics 1/3 phase, 50/60 Hz. The proper input voltage can be selected by
Input 400A 300A NO simply adjusting a switch; no tools are required. If the machine
