SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Power Wave 455 is a high performance, digitally
controlled inverter welding power source capable of
complex, high-speed waveform control. The Power
Feed 10 is a high performance, digitally controlled,
modular wire feeder. Properly equipped, they can
support the GMAW, GMAW-P, and FCAW processes.
Operating as a system, each component in the sys-
tem has special circuitry to “talk with” the other sys-
tem components, so each component (power source,
wire feeder, electrical accessories) knows what the
other is doing at all times. This shared information
lays the groundwork for a system with superior weld-
ing performance.
The Power Feed 10 is a four driven roll feeder that
operates on 40 VDC input power, and is available
configured in both boom and bench models. In addi-
tion, the Control Box and wire feed unit can also be
purchased separately. The bench model is designed
so that it can easily be converted to a boom feeder.
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
The Power Feed 10 must be used with the Power
Wave 455.
