Lincoln Ideal Arc DC-1000 Multi Process Welder

Lincoln Ideal Arc DC-1000 Multi Process Welder

The Lincoln Electric Idealarc DC-1000 is designed for semiautomatic and automatic welding applications that demand uncompromising power, consistency, and reliability. With an output of up to 1300 amps of smooth DC power, this machine provides superior results across MIG, flux-cored, submerged arc welding, and air carbon arc gouging (up to 15.9 mm carbons).

Engineered for high-duty, round-the-clock use, the DC-1000 features a 1000A @ 100% duty cycle, making it ideal for heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, and industrial production. Its robust build and all-weather epoxy-sealed internals ensure long service life in even the harshest conditions, while advanced control features give operators precise handling across a range of processes.

Key Features

High Amperage Multiprocess Capability
Handles MIG, flux-cored, submerged arc, and gouging with up to 15.9 mm carbons, delivering versatility for demanding fabrication jobs.

1000 Amp Continuous Duty
With a 100% duty cycle at 1000 amps, this machine is designed for 24/7 operation in high-output environments. Two DC-1000 units can be paralleled for up to 2000 amps continuous output.

Enhanced Control for Precision Welding
Equipped with a 500A @ 100% terminal for better low-amperage arc characteristics, plus single range control, volt/amp meters, and mode selection for CV and CC submerged arc or Innershield® processes.

Rugged, Long-Life Construction
The transformer, choke, and SCR assemblies are epoxy-dipped for superior protection against moisture, salt air, and corrosive atmospheres. Recessed controls and a low-profile case add further durability.

Reliable Power & Efficiency
Features line voltage compensation to maintain weld consistency with ±10% fluctuations, along with thermostatic and electronic overload protection for safe, dependable performance.

Easy Service & Integration
Removable side panels allow quick access to internal parts, while auxiliary 115V power supports wire feeders. The compact design can be stacked or installed under workbenches to save space.

Warranty Backed
Covered by a 3-year warranty on parts and labor, plus a 7-year warranty on the power rectifier, ensuring long-term peace of mind.
