OVERVIEW

Industrial-Grade Portable Wire Feeder Package

The Miller SuitCase 12RC (951599) is a heavy-duty, portable wire feeder designed for demanding industrial environments where reliability and performance are paramount. This specific package configuration includes the Bernard™ BTB 300A MIG gun and is equipped with advanced control features including a 3-second preflow, 5-second postflow, trigger hold, and burnback control. The unit operates on 24 VAC control voltage, making it compatible with Miller power sources that provide 14-pin remote control capabilities.

Engineered for consistency, the 12RC features a high-torque drive motor with tachometer control, ensuring wire feed speed remains accurate regardless of load variations or cable orientation. The wire drive system utilizes ultra-low drag inlet guide pins to prevent wire deformation and ensure smooth feeding of both solid and flux-cored wires. The feeder is rated for a substantial 500 amps at 100% duty cycle, providing ample headroom for high-amperage applications, although the included gun is rated for 300 amps.

The external construction is as robust as the internal mechanics. The case is manufactured from impact-resistant, flame-retardant material that is totally enclosed to protect the welding wire and internal components from moisture, dust, and contaminants. The design includes built-in slide rails for easy positioning and a door that opens vertically or horizontally for convenient wire spool changes. Digital meters with SunVision™ technology allow operators to monitor voltage and wire feed speed (and amperage with compatible power sources) clearly, even in direct sunlight.

FAQ

The SuitCase 12RC requires a power source with a 24 VAC auxiliary power supply and a remote control connection (typically a 14-pin receptacle). It is designed for standard remote voltage control.

The 12RC (Remote Control) uses a control cord to power the feeder and allows voltage adjustment at the feeder. The 12VS (Voltage Sensing) operates off the arc voltage and does not require a control cord, but voltage must be adjusted at the power source.

Yes, this package (951599) includes a Bernard™ BTB Gun rated at 300 Amps with a 15-foot cable.

It accepts up to a 12-inch diameter spool, typically weighing between 33 and 45 pounds.

Absolutely. The SuitCase 12RC is excellent for flux-cored applications and can handle wire diameters up to 1/8 inch (with appropriate drive rolls).

This specific model comes with a preset 3-second preflow and 5-second postflow timer to ensure adequate gas coverage before and after the arc.

Yes, the case is impact-resistant, flame-retardant, and totally enclosed to protect the wire and components from moisture, dust, and dirt common in outdoor environments.

The feeder itself is rated for 500 Amps at 100% duty cycle, though the system's total output will be limited by the gun (300A included) or power source used.
