Castolin Total Arc 5000 is an inverter MIG/MAG power source for 3 x 400 V, with current from 3 to 450 A. At a 60% duty cycle it gives 450 A, and 360 A it pulls without a break. Inside works a Fronius TPS 450 power source, the power factor is 0.99.
What this machine is for
This is a compact set for a workshop and for production, where mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium are welded. The lower 3 A gives access to very thin sheet, the top 450 A to thick sections. At 360 A in a 100% duty cycle you lay long beads without breaks for cooling.
You weld manually, on synergic programs or with pulse. Pulse detaches the droplet with a current impulse, so you get less spatter and calmer heat input, which counts on stainless steel and on aluminium. This is the version with a simple panel, without an LCD display, there are fewer settings and you reach the ones used in the workshop every day faster.

- Synergic programs for the material, wire and gas.
- Pulse for stainless steel and aluminium.
- Four roll wire feeder for stable wire feeding.

- earth cable 5 m
- supply cable 5 m
- interconnection cable 1.5 m
What to watch out for
Mains fuse 32 A with a 3 x 400 V supply. The record classes the machine up to 500 A, and the technical description gives 450 A at a 60% duty cycle, so take the lower value when you choose. The record gives liquid cooling, and the set list has no cooling unit, so a liquid cooled torch needs a separate module. The interconnection cable is 1.5 m, the feeder stands by the power source. The simple panel has no program list from the LCD version.
