Pretty simple really. Any plans to offer a 3phase 460v AC/DC TIG machine? Simple is better, from my perspective anyways. S/F.....Ken M

The 315 EXT series is in 460 3 phase and all the others can be ordered in it for the next shipment. The MTS 400 is in 240 1ph with a switch for 460 3ph as well, currently.
Thanks for the quick reply. S/F....Ken M
Would pricing on an analog machine in 3phase 460v, like a 250EX, be similar to a listed model? S/F....Ken M
Good lawd that's a lot of voltage!
Have 600v coming into the building.
Place I used to work in the 90's had 1440v coming into the place(1920's construction). Had to throw the fuzes with a 10ft wood pole for leverage and arc avoidance. S/F.....Ken M
Maybe a small premium. Shouldn't be too much more though on special order.
Would it be possible to have 3phase 460v input and still be able to use 230v single phase? That would give me a machine I could use at home and at the shop also. S/F.....Ken M
MTS 400 is configured that way with a switchable input, but output is limited to 250 a. On the others, no. MTS 400 is fairly similar to the XMT series.
I was chasing a machine with those sort of specs. In my case it would have been 3 phase 400V / 1 phase 230V and was told "US is still not prepared to commit to a ANZ/Euro model".Quote:

Also surprised, because I am guessing that the input power to the machine is just rectified to provide a DC bus, with the IGBTs at the output, switched to provide the required output voltage / current.
In industry it is very rare to fine a single phase 15A or above outlet, while 3 phase outlets are everywhere. Domestically, here, even a single phase 15A outlet is rare, but is possible, and three phase very rare.
To me, a machine that can operate on a selection of input voltages would have been ideal, given that at the lower single phase voltage, the output of the machine would be reduced.
Just bought a used XMT, covers me for DC TIG and SMAW, but truthfully, I'm going to leave it at the shop. Still need AC TIG, mostly at the shop. I may simply buy two machines, since hauling all the accessories about gets old quickly. Thanks for the reply. S/F....Ken MQuote:
