READ THIS FIRST

Maintenance and repair work must be performed by an experienced person, and electrical

work only by a trained electrician. Use only recommended replacement parts.

This service manual is intended for use by technicians with electrical/electronic training for

help in connection with fault-tracing and repair.

Before and after service, repair and maintenance work are performed, the safety procedure

described in the Safety test manual must be followed! The Safety test manual can be

downloaded from the Internet: manuals.esab.com

The circuit boards are divided into numbered blocks. Component names in the wiring

diagram are listed in the component description.

Use the spare parts list as a guide to where the components are located in the equipment.

The spare parts list is published as a separate document, see the "SPARE PARTS" chapter

in this manual.

This manual contains details of design changes that have been made up to and including

January 2020.

The manual is valid for:

Warrior 750i CC/CV 380 - 575 V 0445 555 881

Warrior 750i CC/CV VRD, 380 - 415 V 0445 555 882

For serial no 028-xxx-xxxx, Warrior 750i CC/CV (CE version) will fulfil the Australian standard

AS 1674.2-2003 regarding the output no load voltage for category C environment when VRD

35V is activated. Filter board 15AP3 and resistor 15R1 are needed for this and have been

added.

NOTE!

The unit is tested by ESAB in a general set-up. The responsibility for safety and

function, of the specific set-up, lies with the integrator.

The Warrior 750i CC/CV is designed and tested in accordance with the standards stated in

the instruction manual. On completion of service or repair work, it is the responsibility of the

person(s) performing the work to ensure that the product still complies with the requirements

of the involved standards.

CAUTION!

Read and understand the instruction manual before

installing or operating.

CAUTION!

INTRODUCTION

Overview

The Warrior 750i CC/CV is a welding power source intended for GMAW welding, as well as

for welding with powder filled cored wire (FCAW-S), for GTAW welding, for welding with

coated electrodes (SMAW) and arc air gouging.

Design structure of the power source

The Warrior 750i CC/CV power source is transistor-controlled, operating on the inverter

principle. It consists of a number of function modules. Each module has a module number,

which is always included as the first part of the name/identification of components in the

module. The modules have the following main functions:

1-User interface module

The display board that interface the weld settings with control board and display the weld

parameters (voltage and current).

2 - Mains module

Mains filter board, primary inductor, mains switch, auxiliary transformer.

15 - Power module

Power board including primary rectifier and IGBT transistor modules. IPS board main

transformer, secondary inductor, secondary diode modules.

20 - Control module

The control board, with a microprocessor, that monitors and controls the welding process.

Working principle

The mains input voltage range is three-phase 380±10% to 575±10% VAC at rated load.

The auxiliary transformer 2T1 has multiple primary connections and has to be correctly

connected depending on the mains voltage. The primary rectifier creates the DC bus voltage

by rectifying the input AC voltage.

The primary inverter of the Warrior 750i CC/CV power source has two inverter blocks which

are operating in parallel to deliver the rated load. Each inverter is a 4-transistor IGBT

fullbridge, operating at a switching frequency of 22 kHz. All power semiconductors are built

into modules.

Each inverter output is connected to a main transformer with 8:1 (CSA variant) / 7:1 (CE

variant) turn ratio. The main transformer output is connected to a secondary rectifier which

contains two diode modules. Warrior 750i CC/CV power source is rated 750A/44VDC at

100% and 820A/44VDC at 60% duty cycle.
