OVERVIEW

Unlock 2000 Amps of Power with Lincoln Electric

Take your welding capabilities to the next level with the Lincoln Electric K1897-1 Paralleling Kit. This specialized accessory is the key to transforming your existing equipment into a heavy-duty powerhouse. By enabling the seamless connection of two compatible power sources, this kit allows you to double your total output amperage. It is the perfect solution for workshops that occasionally need to perform extremely heavy welding or gouging tasks but do not wish to purchase a standalone 2000-amp machine.

Seamless Integration for DC-1000 and DC-600

The K1897-1 is built to work perfectly with Lincoln's legendary industrial machines. When used with two DC-1000 power sources, you can achieve up to 2000 amps of output with a continuous 100% duty cycle. This makes it ideal for running large diameter submerged arc wires or aggressive gouging carbons. The kit is also compatible with Idealarc DC-600 units (specifically those with codes below 10500), adding significant value to your existing inventory of trusted Lincoln welders.

Reliable and Safe Connection

Paralleling welders requires precise cabling to ensure the electrical load is balanced and the arc remains stable. The Lincoln K1897-1 kit provides the engineered components necessary to make this connection safely and effectively. Whether you are looking to increase deposition rates or handle thicker materials, this paralleling kit offers a cost-effective and versatile method to scale your power output on demand. Trust in genuine Lincoln Electric parts to maintain the integrity and longevity of your welding machinery.
