815amp Lincoln Electric Idealarc DC 655 Air Arc Gouging Welding Machine for hire
815amp Lincoln Electric Idealarc DC 655 Sub Arc and Air Arc Gouging Welding Machine Package for hire
The Idealarc® DC-655 has a rugged construction, simple controls and 650amps @ 100% duty cycle output rating for flat out 10mm gouging carbons. To gouge 10mm carbons properly, you need 600amps. See gouging guide here.
A 63amp or 125amp plug would be fitted for your hire. At full power, this machine pulls approx. 90 amps off the 415V supply, and more when on an 16mm² 4-core extension lead.
We don’t recommend using 13mm carbons with the DC 655, as 900 to 1000amps would be required. We recommend the Lincoln Electric DC 1000 for 13mm carbons.
