OVERVIEW

Streamline Your Welding Workflow

Stop wasting time swapping cables every time you need to change processes. The Lincoln Electric K1528-1 Dual Process Switch is designed for the professional welder who needs to get the job done efficiently. This handy accessory mounts directly to the front of your machine, putting control right at your fingertips. Whether you are tackling heavy structural repairs or precision fabrication, having the ability to control polarity and isolation without walking around to the back of the machine or unbolting leads is a massive time-saver.

This switch is a game-changer for shops running dual wire feeders. If your setup involves running mild steel on one feeder and aluminum or stainless on another, or perhaps a flux-core setup alongside a MIG setup, you know that these often require different polarities or inductance settings. The K1528-1 allows you to configure two separate feeders with their own unique requirements and switch between them instantly. It is also specifically engineered to excel in Arc Gouging applications, where polarity requirements often differ from your primary welding process.

Installation is straightforward, designed to integrate with your existing Lincoln Electric equipment. The switch provides a physical toggle for electrical isolation, meaning you can keep your cold feeder cold while working with the other, preventing accidental arcs and wire waste. Please be aware that this unit is not compatible if you are already using the K1486-1 air filter kit. Upgrade your power source today with the K1528-1 and experience the convenience of instant process switching, keeping your arc on time high and your downtime low.

FAQ

The K1528-1 Dual Process Switch is designed to provide polarity change or electrical isolation for welding outputs, mounting directly to the front of the machine.

Yes, it is explicitly described as being great for arc gouging applications where polarity changes are frequently required.

No, it is specifically noted as being not compatible with the K1486-1 air filter.

It allows two separate feeders to be connected that require different output polarity or inductance settings, enabling seamless switching between them.

The switch is designed to mount on the front of the welding machine for easy access.

Yes, it provides electrical isolation, which is useful for safety and managing multiple output devices.

This is a genuine Lincoln Electric product.

Different welding wires and gases perform better with specific inductance settings (e.g., stainless vs. mild steel); this switch allows you to preserve those optimal settings for two different feeders.
