It runs on 415V three phase power and delivers a 100% duty cycle at the full 500A output, with synergic or manual MIG, DC TIG, stick (MMA) and arc air gouging from the one machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe package pairs the FAB 500 power source with a separate 4-roll FAB Feed wire feeder on a trolley, and comes in two configurations: Air Cooled, with a BZ36 HD MIG torch, or Water Cooled, with the FAB Cool 7 L water cooler and a BZ501 water-cooled MIG torch. The full contents of each package are itemised in the Specifications tab.

and FAB Feed wire feeder, so welding output, duty cycle and processes are identical. The difference is torch cooling. The Air Cooled package suits most fabrication work and has fewer parts to maintain. The Water Cooled package adds the FAB Cool 7 L cooler and a BZ501 water-cooled torch, which keeps the torch cooler and lighter in the hand on long, high-current runs. An Air Cooled package can be converted later with the FAB Cool water cooler, coolant and a BZ501 torch. For arc air gouging you will need a gouging torch such as the \u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/bossweld-k4-arc-air-gouging-torch-1000-amp\"\u003eBossweld K4 Arc Air Gouging Torch 1000 Amp\u003c\/a\u003e.

If you are running it from a generator, BT Weld specifies 32 kVA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe FAB Feed wire feeder connects to the power source with the 2 m interconnection cable supplied. If you need to work further from the machine, 5 m, 10 m and 15 m interconnecting cables are available. The feeder comes with 0.9\/1.2 mm V-groove rollers fitted for solid wire, and 1.2\/1.6 mm knurled rollers as spares for flux-cored wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSynergic MIG sets the welding parameters for you from the job, and the weld parameter storage lets you save settings and recall them for repeat work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStorage and handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe package weighs 153 kg (Air Cooled) or 156 kg (Water Cooled) and ships palletised. Use mechanical handling to move it on and off the pallet, and move it on its trolley once on site. The machine is rated IP21S, so protect it from rain and wet conditions and store it in a dry place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLimits and safety\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a 415V three phase machine drawing up to 32.3A. The supply outlet should be installed by a licensed electrician. The VRD reduces open-circuit voltage in stick mode, and thermal overload protection shuts the output down if the machine overheats. The spec sheet lists compliance with EN 60974-1:2021 and EN 60974-10:2021. Aluminium can be welded in MIG mode only. Always wear appropriate welding PPE and read the operating manual before use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BT Weld","offers":[{"title":"Air Cooled","offer_id":50384161145109,"sku":"A0214076","price":7634.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Water Cooled","offer_id":50384161177877,"sku":"A0214077","price":8739.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/5191\/1957\/files\/659500_BT_WELD_FAB_500HD_Air_Cooled_Package_415V_32A_df73e1f0-47ce-4792-bc63-2bd70ede47c5.webp?v=1793946605","url":"https:\/\/aimsindustrial.com.au\/en-nz\/products\/bt-weld-fab-500hd-500a-multi-process-mig-welder-package-415v","provider":"AIMS Industrial Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
