2 INTRODUCTION
The Mig U5000i is a MIG/MAG and TIG welding power source, which can also be used for
MMA welding.
There are two variants of the power source:
• Mig U5000iw with cooling unit
• Mig U5000iw with cooling unit and WeldCloud™ unit
The power source is intended for use with the Feed 3004 or Feed 4804 wire feed units.
All the settings are made from the wire feed unit or control box.
The power source Mig U5000i WeldCloud™ is combined with U82and provides a control
box which enables wireless monitoring.
For more information about the feed units and WeldCloud™, refer to the Instruction manuals.
ESAB accessories for the product can be found in the "ACCESSORIES" chapter of
this manual.
