OVERVIEW

Industrial Reliability Meets Versatile Performance

The Lincoln Electric SAE-300® MP (Perkins®) is a powerhouse engine-driven welder designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial construction, pipeline maintenance, and heavy infrastructure projects. At its core, this machine utilizes a pure DC generator, a technology renowned for providing a distinctively smooth and stable arc that professionals rely on for critical welds. Unlike purely solid-state machines, the copper-wound generator design offers superior arc characteristics that are forgiving to the operator while delivering deep penetration and consistent bead profiles.

Powered by a 24.7 HP Perkins® 403F-15T turbo diesel engine, the SAE-300 MP is built for fuel efficiency and long-term durability. Fleet managers will appreciate the engine's reliability in varying environmental conditions, from scorching heat to freezing cold. The unit is housed in a rugged, enclosed case that protects internal components from dust, dirt, and moisture, ensuring maximum uptime and reducing maintenance intervals. With a 60% duty cycle at 300 Amps, this machine is engineered to perform continuously in high-demand environments without overheating or faltering.

Beyond its welding capabilities, the SAE-300 MP serves as a mobile power station. It provides 3,000 watts of AC auxiliary power, available in both 120V and 240V configurations. This allows crews to run grinders, lights, and other essential power tools directly from the welder, eliminating the need for additional generators on-site. The multi-process nature of the machine—supporting Stick, TIG, MIG, and Flux-Cored welding—makes it a versatile asset for any equipment fleet, capable of adapting to the specific needs of different job sites without requiring multiple specialized machines.

For procurement specialists and industrial buyers, the K4089-1 represents a strategic investment in quality and versatility. Its combination of traditional generator performance with modern diesel efficiency ensures that your operations remain productive and cost-effective. The inclusion of OCV (Open Circuit Voltage) control further enhances its utility, allowing for fine-tuned heat input that is critical for meeting strict code requirements in oil and gas applications.

FAQ

Pure DC Generator welders, like the SAE-300 MP, use copper windings and a rotating armature to generate welding current. This creates a very stable, smooth arc that is preferred by pipe welders for its controllability and puddle consistency, distinct from the arc characteristics of static rectifier machines.

Yes, the 'MP' stands for Multi-Process. This machine supports CV (Constant Voltage) wire welding, making it compatible with wire feeders for MIG and Flux-Cored applications, in addition to Stick and TIG welding.

The K4089-1 is powered by a Perkins® 403F-15T Turbo Diesel engine. It is a liquid-cooled, 3-cylinder engine rated at 24.7 HP.

The SAE-300 MP provides 3,000 watts of single-phase AC auxiliary power. It features receptacles for both 120V and 240V output to run tools like grinders and lights.

Yes, the machine features Dual Continuous Control, which allows you to adjust the Current and the Open Circuit Voltage independently. This lets you fine-tune the arc to be either 'digging' or 'soft' depending on your application.

Yes, the SAE-300 MP is rated for arc gouging with carbons up to 3/16 inch (4.8 mm) in diameter.

The machine is rated at 300 Amps DC at 32 Volts with a 60% duty cycle. It can also operate at 250 Amps DC at 30 Volts with a 100% duty cycle.

No, the K4089-1 includes the machine only. Trailers and running gear are sold separately as accessories.
