In Belgium, most of the pipeline and railway welding is performed with either Miller or Lincoln power sources, with a large preference for the red machines.
Now, only the 300 and 410 A Lincoln (diesel) gensets are available on the european market. The 500 does not have the required CE marking, and so cannot be imported.

The Millers have quite a harsh arc, but appear to be the only alternative here. Does somebody have knowledge or experience, or can steer me to another manufacturer that makes qualitative, reliable, 500 amp gensets (CV - for FCAW/innershield)?

Many thanks,
