OVERVIEW

Enhance Safety and Precision with the Lincoln Electric Contactor Kit

The Lincoln Electric K938-1 Contactor Kit is an essential upgrade designed specifically for the K930-2 TIG Module. In the world of industrial welding, equipment compatibility and safety are paramount. This kit bridges the gap between your TIG module and welding power sources that may not have a built-in contactor. By installing this unit, you transform the operational characteristics of your setup, ensuring that the TIG torch electrode remains electrically 'cold' until you are ready to weld. This feature is not just a convenience; it is a significant safety enhancement that prevents accidental arc strikes and protects both the operator and the workpiece during setup and positioning.

When working with high-performance TIG applications, the ability to position your torch without the risk of initiating an arc is crucial for achieving high-quality results. The K938-1 integrates seamlessly into the existing architecture of the K930-2 module, maintaining the rugged reliability you expect from Lincoln Electric products. It works in tandem with your Amptrol remote, meaning the power is only delivered to the torch when you physically engage the control. This on-demand power delivery system mimics the functionality of advanced, fully integrated TIG machines, giving you modern control even when utilizing older or more basic power sources.

Installation is straightforward, designed to fit perfectly within the chassis of the TIG module. Once installed, the kit operates invisibly in the background, providing reliable switching cycle after cycle. Whether you are upgrading an existing shop setup or configuring a specific mobile rig, the K938-1 ensures your equipment meets the safety standards and operational fluidity required for professional fabrication. Trust in Lincoln Electric's engineering to provide the components that keep your shop running smoothly and safely.

Investing in the K938-1 Contactor Kit is an investment in process control. It eliminates the 'always hot' electrode scenario that can lead to marred finishes on expensive materials or inadvertent flashes. By standardizing your equipment's behavior with this kit, you ensure a consistent, predictable, and safe welding environment for all operators.

FAQ

The K938-1 installs in the K930-2 TIG Module to provide a contactor, making the TIG torch electrode electrically 'cold' until the Amptrol is activated.

This kit is designed specifically for the Lincoln Electric K930-2 TIG Module.

This kit is primarily for use with welders that do *not* have a built-in contactor. If your power source already provides remote output control, this may not be necessary, but it is standard for the K930-2 setup.

The contactor is activated by the Amptrol (foot pedal or hand control) connected to the TIG module.

Yes, by keeping the electrode cold until you are ready to weld, it prevents accidental arc strikes and reduces the risk of electric shock during setup.

The K938-1 installs internally within the K930-2 TIG Module housing.
