Single-phase operation
Single-phase op-
eration As an alternative to three-phase operation, the multivoltage variant (MV) of the power
source enables a welding operation with limited power or duration from just a single-phase
supply. The maximum possible welding power is limited due to the dimensioning of the
mains fuse protection, upon which the safety cut-out of the power source is dependant.
If the mains cable has a 20 A or 30 A fuse, the FUS parameter may be changed to 20 A or
30 A. Welding with a higher maximum power or for longer periods is therefore possible.
The FUS parameter is in the level 2 Setup menu and can be set for a single-phase supply
as well as to a US setting (SEt parameter to US).
In order to use the power source in single-phase operation, the following prerequisites
must be fulfilled:
-
Correct single-phase power source supply in accordance with the chapter "Installation
and commissioning," section "Connecting the mains cable" - "Fitting the strain-relief
device, single-phase operation."
The following table shows which mains voltages and fuse values limit the welding current
in single-phase operation:
The welding current data applies at an ambient temperature of 40°C (104°F).
At a mains voltage of 240 V and a fuse value of 30 A the maximum value of 220 A for the
MIG/MAG welding for instance is possible at a duty cycle of 40 %.
