San
Diego, CA – Mobile Welding & Power,
Inc. (MWP) said today it is introducing two new innovative
products: MOBI-ARC™ and MOBI-POWER™. MOBI-ARC™
is a highly efficient, completely solid-state control and
delivery device designed to connect to virtually any alternator.
During normal driving, the alternator is regulated at an
automotive friendly 14.65 volts. When welding leads are
connected to the control unit and an arc is struck, the
MOBI-ARC™ automatically and instantly switches the
alternator into a “high current” mode and electronically
protects the vehicle’s battery and electrical system.
Optional MODE SELECT™ modules allow the user to create
programmable voltage output for safe battery jump-starting
and boost-charging applications. Available modules are programmed
for 14, 28, 36, and 42 volts however, modules are programmable
for custom applications as well.
MOBI-POWER™
is an optional accessory designed to compliment a MOBI-ARC™
Control Unit. Incorporating a UL approved splash-proof 120
volt DC power outlet, MOBI-POWER™ can drive halogen
lighting, universal powertools like grinders, sanders, saws,
etc, and comes in two performance levels: 2,500 watts and
4,500 watts. Foreign outlets providing 220 volts DC are
also available.
MOBI-ARC™
and MOBI-POWER™ stainless steel construction are designed
for under-the-hood extremes and are both dust-proof and
water resistant. Industries that benefit from these multi-function
platforms include service fleets, utility vehicles, off-road
enthusiasts, turf-utility vehicles, contractors, farm and
ranch maintenance, military, fire and rescue, mining equipment
maintenance, and many more.
What
makes these products innovative and unique? State-of-the-art
switch-mode power control technology affords unsurpassed
reliability in a truly ultra-compact package making installation
in tight spaces a snap. MOBI-ARC™ and MOBI-POWER™
are designed to connect to virtually any alternator making
them the first truly universal alternator-actuated welding
control units. They utilize no moving parts, no solenoids,
and no mechanical switches; completely solid-state. They
are completely automatic; it knows when you want to weld
and when welding is suspended, it automatically continues
to charge the vehicle’s battery. MOBI-ARC™ and
MOBI-POWER™ utilize MOSFET architecture, pulse-width
modulation (PWM) for reliability, prolong battery life by
regulating both amperage and voltage, and provide the most
efficient means to regulate and control power.
MOBI-ARC™
and MOBI-POWER ™ has employed cutting-edge technology
and sound electrical engineering architecture to safely
control alternator output for use in various applications
broadening the versatility of vehicles worldwide.
