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.

A CLOSER LOOK
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
f
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.
