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.

Use the wiring diagram as a form of index for the description of operation. The circuit boards

are divided into numbered blocks, which are described individually in more detail in the

description of operation. 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 all design changes that have been made up to and including

June 2016.

The manual is valid for:

AristoMig C300 and ESABMig C300i are designed and tested in accordance with

applicable international and European standards series IEC/EN 60974. 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 above standard.



WARNING!

2 INTRODUCTION

The AristoMig and ESABMig power sources are renamed:

New name Old name

Mig L3000i AristoMig 300 / ESABMig 300i

Mig C3000i AristoMig C300 / ESABMig C300i



There are two different product families, Aristo and Origo, to which the power sources

belong. The product family is depending on the type of control panel that is used. The control

panels are not described in this manual, this manual describes the power sources: Mig

L3000i, Mig C3000i, Tig 3000i and Tig 3000i AC/DC



Design structure of the power source

The power source is transistor-controlled, operating on the inverter principle. It consists of a

number of function modules, as shown in the block diagram below. 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 MMC module

The control panel and display.

2 Mains module

Mains interference suppressor, mains switch, auxiliary transformer.

10 TIG module

Comprises all TIG functions.

13 Wire feeder module

Comprises all wire feeder functions.

15 Power module

This module is a dual forward inverter, operating at a switching frequency of 2 x 40 kHz.

IGBT transistors are used as the switching elements. All power semiconductors are built into

modules.

18 AC module

Comprises all AC TIG functions.

20 Processor board module (controller module)

This is the controller board, 20AP1, with a microprocessor, that monitors and controls the

voltage and current.

Data in brackets (x x x x) are valid for power sources without primary inductor.

*) The minimum current during AC welding depends on the alloy used for the aluminium

plates and their surface cleanliness.

Duty cycle

The duty cycle refers to the time as a percentage of a ten-minute period that you can weld or

cut at a certain load without overloading. The duty cycle is valid for 40°C/104°F, or below.

Enclosure class

The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i.e. the degree of protection against penetration

by solid objects or water.

Equipment marked IP 23S is intended for indoor and outdoor use; however, should not be

operated in precipitation.

Application class

The symbol indicates that the power source is designed for use in areas with increased

electrical hazard.
