Calibrator 1600i AC-DC

Calibrator 1600i AC DC is our highest capacity Calibrator load bank product.

This model is currently getting updated please contact us for info.

For testing every type of welding machine right up to the largest SUB ARC power sources.

The ultimate engineers tool for calibration / validation of welding machines to EN 50504, EN 60974-14 etc.

Our unique Calibrators offer unrivalled portability, they do not require any external power supply & can be connected to TIG machines with the HF running. Our design really speeds up the whole process of setting up & validating machines. which means it’s possible to calibrate many machines per hour!

MIG/MAG, AC/DC TIG, MMA, SUB ARC, PLASMA Welding. (MCAW, FCAW, SMAW, GTAW, SAW).

Really user friendly engineers tools with everything necessary for validation / calibration to European & international standards.

Updated design from July 2018! Now with greater load range & more resistors.

Description

Description

The fastest way to calibrate every type & make of welding machine. Just plug into your machines output terminals & get testing!

Our design is the most portable & easy to use load bank in the world & has sold in over 40 countries to date.

Multiple load resistors are built into a light but tough aluminium enclosure which utilises the ‘stack effect’ to give natural cooling in excess of a powerful fan. Each of the 16 main load switches can be operated independantly to give over 100 different load values. In addition a fine control switch with 5 steps up to 20A provides even more control of the load providing a combined total of several hundred different load values. This wide range of load resistance allows testing on all welding processes in accordance with the volt/amp relationship formula. For instance on MIG/MAG at 500A you can achieve 39V, on TIG you can achieve 30V, on MMA 40V etc. Every load setting is marked with the approx current rating but all will withstand overloads up to double the rating for a few seconds. The input is also protected from HF damage generated by TIG & plasma machines.
