ERFORMANCE
Arc Performance
• 300 amps @100% duty cycle with output range up to 400 amps.
All ratings are at temperatures of 104°F/40°C.
• Arc Gouging – The Vantage
®
300 is capable of gouging with up
to a 1/4" carbon.
• CC-Stick mode is optimized for general purpose stick using
E7018 low hydrogen electrode.
• Built-in “hot” start for easier starts and restrikes minimizing the
electrode “sticking” to the work.
• Downhill pipe mode with active arc force control - enhanced
downhill pipe welding mode. Excellent for cellulosic electrodes.
Fast travel speeds, especially on fill passes. Arc control
adjustment for a soft, buttery arc or a more forceful digging arc.
• Standard DC Touch-Start TIG
®
welding, not scratch start, for
easy arc starting that avoids tungsten contamination and the use
of high-frequency.
• Excellent CV wire welding with cored-wire and MIG (CO
2
and
blended gas).
Generator Performance
• 3-Phase 240V AC generator power rated at 12.5 kW peak
(11 kW continuous) output to power industrial equipment such as a
plasma cutter, pump or inverter welder. Simultaneously weld and use
3-Phase AC power - for example, up to 5,300 watts can be delivered
while welding at 200 amps. Compare to competitive product which
does not have 3-Phase power.
• 3-Phase 240V receptacle on control panel eliminates the need to
hard-wire the connections.
• The Vantage
®
300 provides added value at the job site by
delivering up to 11.5 kW peak (10 kW continuous) watts of
1-Phase AC auxiliary power for equipment such as a Lincoln
plasma cutter. Also use for lights, grinders and other common
construction tools. And, you can simultaneously weld and have
access to AC power – 3,500 watts can be delivered while
welding at 250 amps. Compare to competitive product which
has no AC generator power at 225 amps welding and above.
• AC generator voltage is constant at 120V or 240V at any weld
dial setting.
• Two 120V GFCI duplex receptacles.
• All receptacles are circuit breaker protected.

Patented and award-winning Lincoln Chopper Technology
®
delivers superior DC arc welding performance for general purpose
stick, Downhill Pipe, DC TIG, MIG, cored-wire and arc gouging.
Benefits of Chopper Technology
®
include:
- Easy arc starting
- Smooth arc action
- Low spatter levels
- Excellent bead appearance
Traditional weld control is more
variable around the desired output.
Chopper Technology
®
d
elivers extremely fast response

or smoother output control.
WHAT IS CHOPPER TECHNOLOGY?
WHAT IS TOUCH-START TIG
®
?
Touch-Start TIG
®
uses a very low voltage to sense when
the tip of the tungsten electrode is touched to the
work piece. When this occurs, a complete circuit is estab-
lished. When the tungsten is then raised from the work piece,
the circuit senses a change in voltage and initiates the
appropriate welding current and voltage to support the TIG
welding process.
Enjoy the added benefits of Lincoln’s Touch-Start TIG
®
when
DC TIG welding. Not only do you avoid tungsten contamina-
tion when arc starting, but you also don’t need extra high
frequency equipment.
