A CLOSER LOOK
What is Coaxial Transformer Technology™?
To transform large amounts of power as is needed for welding, the
power source transformer is a critical factor. Traditional transformers
become more inefficient the larger they become. This becomes a
problem especially for large power sources (i.e. submerged arc power
sources). If the transformer becomes inefficient, it requires more
power to be dissipated in all of the components before the trans-
former. This results in a drastically reduced overall efficiency, compo-
nents that run at higher temperatures, and reduced reliability.
Coaxial Transformer Technology eliminates these problems. Regardless
of the size (power level) a coaxial transformer has superior coupling and
efficiency. This is obtained through the coaxial orientation of the primary
and secondary windings.
The benefits for the customer include:
• Higher power capabilities (submerged arc inverters)
• Higher efficiency (reduced energy costs)
• Higher reliability (lower stresses on components)
Impeller Cooling Technology™
High Efficiency Cooling
Conventional-cooling mechanisms for welders rely on a fan to blow
through the machine, while Lincoln’s patented Impeller Cooling
Technology uses an impeller fan to create a high-pressure chamber.
This high-pressure chamber forces airflow across the heated
components in the machine cooling the Power Wave AC/DC 1000™
transformer and power switchgear.

Industry-leading Efficiency, Power Factor and Input Current Draw
Reduce Energy Spending!
The Power Wave® AC/DC 1000 has better efficiency and a
higher Power Factor than the Summit Arc 1000™. Two
Power Wave® AC/DC 1000 machines can be installed for
the same capacity that it takes to install one Summit Arc 1000™.
