0349311256 - ESAB Origo Mig 5002c MV Heavy Duty Power Source

Industrial Multi-Process Chopper Power Source

The ESAB Origo™ Mig 5002c MV (SKU: 0349311256) is a high-performance chopper-controlled power source designed for the most demanding industrial environments. Engineered for heavy-duty fabrication, this unit delivers a maximum output of 500 Amps and boasts a robust 60% duty cycle at maximum output, ensuring continuous operation without overheating. The 'MV' designation indicates its Multi-Voltage capability, allowing connection to 230, 400, 415, or 500V 3-phase mains supplies, making it a versatile asset for facilities with varying power infrastructures.

Unlike standard step-controlled transformers, the 5002c utilizes chopper technology (switching converter) to provide superior arc characteristics and infinite voltage control. This results in a smoother arc, less spatter, and better overall weld quality across MIG/MAG and MMA processes. The machine is also fully capable of Air Carbon Arc Gouging, making it a comprehensive solution for structural steel, shipbuilding, and repair operations. The unit is housed in a galvanized steel casing designed to withstand rough handling and harsh conditions, rated IP23 for outdoor use.

Integration is seamless with ESAB's range of wire feeders, such as the Origo Feed 3004 or 4804. The power source features digital instrumentation for clear visibility of welding parameters, and its energy-saving standby mode reduces power consumption when the machine is idle. The 5002c represents a bridge between traditional rugged transformer reliability and modern electronic control.
