2. INTRODUCTION

2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

WELDKAR MIG 3140
With its high output of 315 amps and corresponding high
duty cycle of 40%, this portable Weldkar WK MIG 3140
can be used for a very wide range of applications.
From independent contractors to shipyards, this
machine can take on any welding job on various types of
materials. Because of its 4-roll wire feed system, long-
lasting and trouble-free wire feed is guaranteed up to a
maximum length of 4 meters.
All the parameters are stepless adjustable on the digital
display, which makes it extremely accurate.
Powerful, reliable, compact and portable: these are
a few characteristics of this robust MIG inverter. The
machine is provided with CE and EMC and suitable for
generator use (min. 15 kVA).
The weld inverter is supplied as standard with a:
- WK MIG 3140 Inverter Power source
- Earth clamp with 4-meter earth cable and DIN Plug
- Power cable 5 meter, 3 x 2.5 mm²
- Gas hose
- 4-roller wire feed unit in aluminium
- Operating manual
The instructions below provide detailed information for
the correct and safe use of the machine and instructions
for obtaining the greatest efficiency and quality from
your power source.
IT MUST NOT BE USED TO DEFROST PIPES.

current absorbed, considering the duty
cycle.
IP23 Protection rating for the housing. Grade
3 as the second digit means that this
equipment may be stored, but it is
not suitable for use outdoors in the rain,
unless it is protected. Suitable for use in
high-risk environments.
H Isolation Class.
AF Aircooling with fan.

2.4 THERMAL PROTECTION

This inverter is protected by a thermostat. When the
thermostat is tripped, the machine stops delivering
current but the fan continues to run. The yellow led (12)
lights to indicate when it is tripped. Do not shut off the
welding machine until the led has gone off.

2.5 MOTOR-DRIVEN GENERATORS

These must have a power equal to or greater than 15 kVA,
and must not deliver a voltage greater than 440 V.
