Lincoln invertor Welder for sale CC/CV 350AMP

I wish I could use this, but I don't have 3 phase. I bought it thinking it was a plasma cutter and was buying it for a friend(it was listed that way on ebay,the guy was not a welder and he got it with a plasma torch head and thought that's what it was)since I already received and paid for it and it is such a nice unit I decided to keep it and see if I could get the power co. to hook up 3 phase to my shop, after talking to them I realized that since I have not won the FL.lottery nor am I related to anybody that has there own oil wells:) this was not possible. So now the lucky ones who have

3 phase get a chance at it. I thought I would let the people on the news net that have given me so much free info and good reading a chance at it before I list it on ebay or other ways-Here is the info on the unit. This is a brand new never hooked up Lincoln(France) inverter welder made for UNITOR ship supply co.-(co. supplies equipment for large ships world wide) It is a constant current/constant voltage DC multiprocessor welder-MIG-TIG-STICK ,Mod. # UNITOR-UWI-350 MP, output max open circuit voltage 34V ,350 max amps. @ 100% duty,250 amps @ 60% duty,180 amps @100% duty,input 3 phase 50 or 60 cycle-unit can be hooked up to almost any MIG unit such as the LN25 Lincoln mig or the Ready welder. The control plug can be set up for a foot pedal for DC TIG or for thumb wheel there are several service centers located in the USA-TX-FL-WA-OR-all over The best one for this unit is in Jacksonville FL and I will give you the number for it. It has a full crash cage and is intended for use in corrosive and severe conditions (circuit boards are coated and contacts are gold,according to service center) This is a tough,heavy duty industrial machine. Yet it is small enough to fit in my Hundi scope trunk and light enough to pick up and carry(I can pick it up with one hand and carry it around,but I tend to resemble one of our more hairy ancestors:) ) I will supply you with the exact size,weight upon request. The retail cost for it is well in excess of 3000.00 but I did not pay anywhere near that much and will just let it go for the best reasonable offer.(Reasonable please or maybe some trade and money,I am not easily offended but remember it IS new:) ) If you wish pics send me a email or give me a call in FL at 407-877-6030 or 407-399-4356 and I will send you some thanks bill k

Bill,

While you're checking consider that you may be able to run it off of a rotary phase converter. A rotary made from a 15 HP 3-phase, 240 V motor might serve you well. If the service center endorses operation from single phase, then, IMO, there is no reason it would not work well with a rotary.

After looking at the manufacturer's site, it appears this welder is DC only, no AC or square wave, and runs off 380-460 V only! It likely will run on single phase with derating, but it would have to be 4x0 V single phase!

I think you are looking at the new mod. they came out with late last year. the service center told me that this mod. will work on 240v 3 phase too. and yes it is a dc power source CC/CV I think the new one is 400 amps

your right ,I might be able to run it off a phase converter but then I would have another project to build and that list is getting really long, plus more money going out so I think my best bet is to just sell it and get a single phase unit as I already have a ready welder and a miller mig all I need is a good ac/dc tig I also got a 3phase 60 amp Hobart plasma with a new powcon torch that I am working on that I will sell shortly and add that money to the kitty
