2 INTRODUCTION
Mig C170 3ph, Mig C200 3ph and Mig C250 3ph are step controlled power
sources of a compact design, intended for welding with solid steel, stainless steel or
aluminium wire as well as tubular wire with or without shielding gas. It is possible to
weld with homogeneous wire/shielding gas and weld with gasless tubular wire by
switching the + and - connections on the switching terminal by the wire feed unit.
ESAB's accessories for the product can be found on page 20.

Application classification
Duty cycle
The duty cycle refers to the time as a percentage of a ten-minute period that you can weld or cut at
a certain load without overloading. The duty cycle is valid for 40°C.
Enclosure class
The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i. e. the degree of protection against penetration by solid
objects or water. Equipment marked IP23 is designed for indoor and outdoor use.
Application class
The symbol indicates that the power source is designed for use in areas with increased
electrical hazard.
4 INSTALLATION
The installation must be carried out by a professional.
Note!
Connect the power source to the electricity mains with a network impedance of 0.268 (C250 3ph) ohm
or lower. If the network impedance is higher, there is a risk of flicker in the illuminators.
CAUTION
This product is intended for industrial use. In a domestic environment this product may
cause radio interference. It is the user's responsibility to take adequate precautions.
4.1 Location
Position the welding power source in such way that its cooling air inlets and outlets
are not obstructed.

5.2 Welding without gas
5.3 Wire feed pressure
Start by making sure that the wire moves smoothly through the wire guide. Then
set the pressure of the wire feeder's pressure rollers. It is important that the
pressure is not too great.
Fig 1 Fig 2
To check that the feed pressure is set correctly, you can feed out the wire against
an insulated object, e.g. a piece of wood.
When you hold the gun approx. 5 mm from the piece of wood (fig. 1) the feed
rollers should slip.
If you hold the gun approx. 50 mm from the piece of wood, the wire should be
fed out and bend (fig. 2).

5.4 Replacing and inserting wire
SOpen the side panel.
SDisconnect the pressure sensor by folding it backwards, the pressure rollers
slide up.
GB

- 12 -
ba46e
SStraighten the new wire for 10-20 cm. File away burrs and sharp edges from the
end of the wire before inserting it into the wire feed unit.
SMake sure that the wire goes properly into the feed roller track and into the outlet
nozzle and the wire guide.
SSecure the pressure sensor.
SClose the side panel.
5.5 Overheating protection
When the machine is switched on with the mains switch [1], indicator lamp [2] is on and
lamp [3] off - the machine is ready to operate. If the internal temperature becomes too
high, the welding is interrupted and disabled. This state is indicated by lighting of the
orange indicator lamp [3] on the front of the machine. It resets automatically when the
temperature has fallen.
6 MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is important for safe, reliable operation.
CAUTION
All guarantee undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if the customer attempts any
work to rectify any faults in the product during the guarantee period.
6.1 Inspection and cleaning
Check regularly that the power source is free from dirt.
The power source should be regularly blown clean using dry compressed air at reduced
pressure. It should be cleaned more frequently in dirty environments. Otherwise the air
inlet/outlet may become blocked and cause overheating.
Welding gun
SThe welding gun's wear parts should be cleaned and replaced at regular
intervals in order to achieve trouble-free wire feed. Blow the wire guide clean
regularly and clean the contact tip.
The brake hub
The hub is adjusted when delivered, if
readjustment is required, follow the instructions
below. Adjust the brake hub so that wire is slightly
slack when wire feed stops.
SAdjusting the braking torque:
STurn the red handle to the locked position.
SInsert a screwdriver into the springs in the hub.
Turn the springs clockwise to reduce the braking torque
Turn the springs counter-clockwise to increase the braking torque. NB: Turn
both springs the same amount.

7 FAULT TRACING
Try these recommended checks and inspections before sending for an authorised
service technican.
Type of fault Actions
No arc SCheck that the mains power supply switch is turned on.
SCheck that the welding current supply and return cables are
correctly connected.
SCheck that correct current value is set.
Welding current is interrupted
during welding
SCheck whether the thermal overload trip has operated
(indicated by the orange lamp on the front).
SCheck the main power supply fuses.
Thermal overload trips
operate frequently
SCheck to see whether the air inlets/outlets are clogged.
SMake sure that you are not exceeding the rated data for the
power source (i.e. that the unit is not being overloaded).
Poor welding performance SCheck that the welding current supply and return cables are
correctly connected.
SCheck that the correct current value is set.
SCheck that the correct welding wires are being used.
SCheck the main power supply fuses.
SCheck the wire feed unit - if proper rolls are applied and
properly set the pressure of the wire feeder's pressure rollers
