Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and features of the CST 280 Stick/TIG Welding Power Source, designed for industrial applications such as power plant construction, petrochemical construction, maintenance, repair, and shipbuilding. It highlights the machine's portability, performance, and adaptability for various welding tasks.
Specifications: The CST 280 operates on both 3-phase and single-phase power, with an amperage range of 5-280 A and a maximum open-circuit voltage of 77 V. It weighs 41 lb (18.6 kg) and is designed for easy transport and installation. The machine offers superior Stick arc performance, especially with challenging electrodes like E6010, and features Adaptive Hot Start™ to prevent electrode sticking.
Features: The CST 280 includes remote amperage control via a 14-pin receptacle, allowing the use of standard remote control devices. It is equipped with Tweco® or Dinse-style connectors and a six-foot power cable. The machine can switch between low and high input voltage ranges without removal from inverter racks, and optional 4- or 8-pack racks are available for multiple operator applications.
Performance Data: The document provides detailed performance data, including rated output and duty cycles for both Stick (SMAW) and TIG (GTAW) welding modes. It also includes amperage input requirements at various voltages and dimensions of the machine.
Accessories: The document lists various accessories, including Weldcraft® TIG torches, remote controls, and cable connectors/adapters. It specifies the types of connectors required for different CST models and provides ordering information for these accessories.
Racks and Options: The CST 280 can be mounted in racks for easy transport and protection. The racks meet NEC requirements and include features like lift truck pockets and lifting eyes for crane transport. They are available in configurations for 4 or 8 machines, with optional running gear for mobility.
Warranty: The power source is warranted for 3 years, covering parts and labor, while the main power rectified parts have a 5-year warranty.

Issued March 2012 • Index No. DC/29.55 Stick/TIG Welding Power Source Industrial Applications Quick Specs Input Power Power Plant Construction Petrochemical Construction Maintenance and Repair Shipbuilding Stick (SMAW) TIG (GTAW) Lift-Arc™ Amperage Range Max. Open-Circuit Voltage Weight Superior Stick arc performance even on the difficult-to-run electrodes like E6010. Optional 4- or 8-pack racks are available for multiple operator applications. These are commonly used in construction and shipyard applications. All CST controls including the power switch are located on front of the machine for easy access. Adaptive Hot Start™ for Stick arc starts automatically increases the output amperage at the start of a weld should the start require it. Prevents the electrode from sticking. Portable in the shop or at the job site — at 41 pounds the CST 280 is easily moved from location to location. Lift-Arc start provides TIG arc starting without the use of high frequency. ™ Remote amperage control provided through 14-pin receptacle on front of the machine. This permits use of standard remote amperage control devices. Easy to install with a new switch on the outside of the package, the machine can be changed between low and high input voltage ranges. Also, since the switch is on the back, input voltages can be changed without removal from inverter racks. Tweco® or Dinse-style connectors are available on the CST 280. Six-foot power cable included. Power source is warranted for 3 years, parts and labor. Original main power rectified parts are warranted for 5 years.
