The recommended time delay fuse or circuit breaker size is 30 amp. An individual branch circuit capable of carrying 30 amperes
and protected by fuses or circuit breaker is recommended for this application. Fuse size is based on not more than 200 percent
of the rated input amperage of the welding power source (Based on Article 630, National Electrical Code)
Firepower continuously strives to produce the best product possible and therefore reserves the right to change, improve or revise the specifications
or design of this or any product without prior notice. Such updates or changes do not entitle the buyer of equipment previously sold or shipped
to the corresponding changes, updates, improvements or replacement of such items.
The values specified in the table above are optimal values, your values may differ. Individual equipment may differ from the above specifications
due to in part, but not exclusively, to any one or more of the following; variations or changes in manufactured components, installation location
and conditions and local power grid supply conditions.
The Welding power source is of a drooping characteristic. The thermal protection switch is rated at 75° C.
