OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Industrial Power Source

The Lincoln Electric Power Wave S700 (K3557-1) is a powerhouse designed for the most demanding heavy fabrication and structural environments. Engineered to deliver a massive 700 amps at 100% duty cycle, this machine ensures continuous operation without thermal shutdowns, even when welding thick materials or using large diameter cored wires. It utilizes Lincoln's proprietary Waveform Control Technology®, which allows for precise control over arc characteristics for a wide variety of materials including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and nickel alloys.

This unit features PowerConnect® Technology, which automatically adjusts to any incoming 3-phase power from 200V to 575V, making it a versatile asset for global operations or facilities with fluctuating power grids. The Tribrid™ Power Module ensures high energy efficiency and a high power factor, reducing operating costs over time. For production managers, the integrated Ethernet connectivity and CheckPoint™ cloud services provide real-time data on weld quality, fault tracking, and productivity metrics, allowing for data-driven decision-making.

The S700 is built with a modular design, easily integrating with Lincoln's Cool Arc® water coolers and Power Feed® wire feeders via ArcLink® digital communication. Its IP23-rated case protects internal components from dust and moisture, ensuring longevity in harsh industrial settings. Whether used for manual semi-automatic welding or integrated into hard automation systems, the Power Wave S700 stands as a benchmark for high-output reliability.

FAQ

The Power Wave S700 is rated at 700 Amps / 44 Volts at 100% duty cycle, allowing for continuous welding at high amperages.

It features PowerConnect technology, accepting 3-phase input power ranging from 200V to 575V (50/60 Hz) automatically.

Yes, the S700 supports standard MIG, Pulsed MIG, Pulse-on-Pulse, and other advanced waveforms for various materials.

Absolutely. The S700 has a dedicated gouging mode and enough power to run up to 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) carbon electrodes.

No, the K3557-1 is the power source only. Compatible wire feeders, such as the Power Feed series, are sold separately.

No, but it is compatible with the Cool Arc 55S water cooler, which integrates directly with the power source.

CheckPoint is a cloud-based data service that allows you to track weld details, faults, and productivity metrics remotely via the machine's Ethernet connection.

The net weight of the machine is approximately 370 lbs (168 kg).
