0465350887 - ESAB Warrior 500i Multiprocess Welder 380-575V 3PH

Superior Arc Performance for Professional Welders

The ESAB Warrior 500i CV/CC is engineered for the professional welder who demands precision control and raw power. This 500-amp multi-process inverter redefines expectations for heavy-duty welding machines by combining the smooth arc characteristics of modern technology with the rugged simplicity of classic equipment. With a 60% duty cycle at 500 amps and a 100% duty cycle at 400 amps, this machine is built to lay down metal continuously without overheating or faltering.

One of the standout features of the Warrior 500i is its Short Circuit Termination (SCT) technology. This function automatically sharpens the wire at the end of each weld, preventing balling and ensuring consistent, trouble-free restrikes. This seemingly small detail significantly reduces post-weld cleanup and frustration during tacking operations. For stick welding, the machine provides excellent arc stability across all electrode types, including cellulosic (6010) rods, making it ideal for pipe welding applications.

The machine's gouging performance is equally impressive. It delivers the necessary voltage and amperage to run up to 3/8-inch (10mm) carbons effectively, making it a powerful tool for defect removal and joint preparation. The autofocus input voltage system allows the machine to accept any 3-phase power from 380V to 575V without manual linking, providing flexibility when moving between different facility power grids or running off generators.

Ergonomics and design have not been overlooked. The unit features sturdy side handles for crane lifting and manual transport. The air tunnel design keeps cooling air flowing over critical components while shielding sensitive electronics from metal shavings and dust, prolonging the life of the inverter. When paired with the Warrior Feed 304, this system becomes a formidable welding station capable of tackling the toughest fabrication challenges with ease.
