ELECTRIC SHOCK – Can kill

• Install and ground the unit in accordance with instruction manual.
• Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or wet clothing.
• Insulate yourself from work and ground.
• Ensure your working position is safe

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS – Can be dangerous to health

• Welders having pacemakers should consult their physician before welding. EMF may interfere with some pacemakers.
• Exposure to EMF may have other health effects which are unknown.
• Welders should use the following procedures to minimize exposure to
  EMF:
  • Route the electrode and work cables together on the same side of
    your body. Secure them with tape when possible. Do not place your body between the torch and work cables. Never coil the torch or work cable around your body. Keep welding power source and cables as far away from your body as possible.
  • Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded.

FUMES AND GASES – Can be dangerous to health

• Keep your head out of the fumes.
• Use ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to take fumes and gases away from your breathing zone and the general area.
  ARC RAYS – Can injure eyes and burn skin
• Protect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens and wear protective clothing.
• Protect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.
  NOISE – Excessive noise can damage hearing
  Protect your ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.
• MOVING PARTS – Can cause injuries
• Keep all doors, panels and covers closed and securely in place. Have only qualified people remove covers for maintenance and troubleshooting as necessary. Reinstall panels or covers and close doors when service is finished and before starting engine.
• Stop engine before installing or connecting unit.
• Keep hands, hair, loose clothing and tools away from moving parts.

FIRE HAZARD.

• Sparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure that there are no inflammable materials nearby.
• Do not use on closed containers.

MALFUNCTION – Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!

CAUTION! This product is solely intended for arc welding.
WARNING! Do not use the power source for thawing frozen pipes.
CAUTION! Class A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where the electrical power is provided by the public low-voltage supply system. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility of class A equipment in those locations, due to conducted as well as radiated disturbances.
NOTE! Dispose of electronic equipment at the recycling facility! In observance of European Directive 2012/19/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law, electrical and/or electronic equipment that has reached the end of its life must be disposed of at a recycling facility.
As the person responsible for the equipment, it is your responsibility to obtain information on approved collection stations.

INTRODUCTION

The Tig 3000i AC/DC is a TIG welding power source for alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). It can also be used for MMA welding.
ESAB accessories for the product can be found in the “ACCESSORIES” chapter of this manual.

Equipment

The power source is supplied with: Instruction manual for the welding power source, instruction manual for the control panel and 5 m return cable. Instruction manuals in other languages can be downloaded from the Internet: www.esab.com

Control panel

TA24 AC/DC

See the separate instruction manual for a detailed description of the control panel.

TECHNICAL DATA

The minimum current during AC welding depends on the alloy used for the aluminum plates and their surface cleanliness.

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 / 104 °F, or below.
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 intended for indoor and outdoor use.
Application class
The symbol indicates that the power source is designed for use in areas with increased electrical hazard.
Mains supply, Ssc min
Minimum short circuit power on the network in accordance with IEC 61000-3-12.

INSTALLATION

The installation must be carried out by a professional.

NOTE!
Mains supply requirements
This equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-12 provided that the short-circuit power is greater than or equal to Sscmin at the interface point between the user’s supply and the public system. It is the responsibility of the installer or user of the equipment to ensure, by consultation with the distribution network operator if necessary, that the equipment is connected only to a supply with a short-circuit power greater than or equal to Sscmin. Refer to the technical data in the TECHNICAL DATA chapter.

Lifting instruction

Location

Position the welding power source such that its cooling air inlets and outlets are not obstructed.

Mains power supply

Check that the welding power source is connected to the correct mains power supply voltage, and that it is protected by the correct fuse size. A protective earth connection must be made in accordance with regulations. Rating plate with supply connection data

Recommended fuse sizes and minimum cable area

NOTE!
The mains cable areas and fuse sizes as shown above are in accordance with Swedish regulations. For other regions, supply cables must be suitable for the application and meet local and national regulations.

NOTE!
The welding power source is designed for connection to a 230 / 400 volt system with four conductors.
If the power source is to be used in countries with a higher supply voltage, the power source must be connected via a safety transformer.

OPERATION

General safety regulations for handling the equipment can be found in the “SAFETY” chapter of this manual. Read it through before you start using the equipment!

Connections and control devices

1. Control panel, see separate instruction 5 Connection for return cable manual
2. Mains voltage switch
3. Connection for welding cable or welding torch
4. Connection for shielding gas
5. Connection for start signal from the welding torch
6. CAN connection for cooling unit or remote 8 Connection for gas to the torch control unit
   

Key to symbols

Fan control

The power source has a time control that means that the fans continue to run for 6.5 minutes after welding has stopped, and the unit switches to energy-saving mode. The fans start again when welding restarts.
The fans run at reduced speed for welding currents up to 110 A, and at full speed for higher currents.

Overheating protection

The welding power source has overheating protection that operates if the temperature becomes too high. When this occurs the welding current is interrupted and a fault code is displayed on the control panel.
The overheating protection resets automatically when the temperature has fallen.

MAINTENANCE

NOTE! Regular maintenance is important for safe and reliable operation.

CAUTION! All warranty undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if the customer attempts any work to rectify any faults in the product during the warranty period.
Only those persons who have appropriate electrical knowledge (authorized personnel) may remove the safety plates to connect or carry out service, maintenance or repair work on welding equipment.

Inspection and cleaning

Power source
Check regularly that the welding power source is not clogged with dirt.
How often and which cleaning methods apply depend on: the welding process, arc times, placement, and the surrounding environment. It is normally sufficient to blow down the power source with dry compressed air (reduced pressure) once a year.
Clogged or blocked air inlets and outlets otherwise result in overheating.
Welding torch

• The wear parts of the welding torch 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.

FAULT-TRACING

Try these recommended checks and inspections before sending for an authorized service technician.

ORDERING SPARE PARTS
