301610 - Miller 8-Pack Rack for CST 282 and Maxstar 200 (Rack Only)

Technical Overview of the Miller 8-Pack Rack

The Miller 301610 is a specialized 8-Pack Rack designed specifically to house and transport Miller CST™ 282 and Maxstar® 200 welding power sources. Engineered for the rigorous demands of industrial environments such as shipbuilding, construction, and heavy maintenance, this rack system provides a centralized station for multiple arcs. The unit is constructed with a rugged enclosure that meets the durability requirements of field construction, ensuring that the enclosed inverters are protected from impact and environmental hazards common to active job sites.

Electrically, the rack is designed to streamline setup and operation. It features a common output ground connection, which allows for a simplified grounding scheme when all machines are operating with the same polarity. This reduces cable clutter and potential tripping hazards. The integrated junction box serves as a central power distribution point, containing individual fuses for each machine. The rack comes pre-equipped with fuses rated for 460 V operation. For facilities or sites utilizing 220-230 V or 575 V power, appropriate fuses must be ordered separately to match the input voltage requirements.

Logistics and mobility are key components of the design. The rack includes standard running gear, allowing it to be rolled across flat surfaces. For lifting and positioning, the structure incorporates a heavy-duty lifting eye suitable for cranes or overhead lifting devices. Additionally, fork pockets are built into the base, enabling safe and stable transport via forklift. This multi-modal transportability ensures that the rack can be positioned exactly where it is needed, whether on a ground-level slab or elevated on a ship deck. The rack is sold as an empty unit, allowing users to populate it with existing compatible machines or configure a new fleet as required.
