2. TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION.
2.1. TRANSPORT AND PACKAGING
Knocks and sudden movements must be avoided when transporting the equipment. In any case, the packaging
must be protected from water.
HANDLE THE EQUIPMENT CAREFULLY, IT WILL LAST LONGER !
2.2. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY INSTALLATION.
The electrical installation of the equipment making up the system must be carried out by specialised personnel
according to the applicable standards.
The location must fulfill the following conditions:
-
Place: Dry and ventilated. Far enough away from the welding area in order to prevent the dust caused by the
welding process from getting into the equipment. Never work in the rain.
-
The distribution panel where the machine has to be connected must have the following elements, at least:
DIFFERENTIAL CIRCUIT BREAKER (ID): Bi-polar or Tri-polar with a minimum sensitivity of 300 mA. The aim of this
switch is to protect the personnel from direct or indirect contact with electrical parts under voltage. The
differential circuit breaker is selected in agreement with the Characteristics plate.
AUTOMATIC CIRCUIT BREAKER (IA): Bi-polar. The instrument will be chosen according to the Characteristics
plate.
The connection to the mains is made by the input hose. IMPORTANT! Verify that the wire is connected to a plug
with an efficient earth tap.
If you have special equipment, with power supply voltage other than 230 V, you will find the data for defining the
necessary electrical installation on the equipment characteristics plate.
Any supply voltage that is outside the rated margin gives rise to the activation of the protection system, preventing
the welding operation.
CROSS-SECTION
If it is necessary to use a longer power supply
hose or a connection to an extension, keep in
mind the values of this table.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS SHOULD ONLY BE HANDLED BY SPECIALISED PERSONNEL.
BEFORE STARTING THE EQUIPMENT, VERIFY THAT THE ELECTRODE TONG IS
SEPARATED FROM THE WELDING MASS.
2.3. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION TO ELECTRICAL GENERATING SET.
The KENNEDY SYNER 200 / 160 appliances are suitable for electrical installation to electrical generating set. These
appliances include a protection system, which continuously verifies the supply voltage, in such a way that whenever
this voltage is outside the admitted margins or is dangerously distorted, the equipment will protect itself, by insulating
the sensitive circuits of the network. Under these conditions, the equipment will remain switched off or the amber
coloured indicator, “E”, will light up (see section 3). When the voltage is suitable again, the appliance will be ready to
operate.
For correct operation with electrical generating set the following minimum powers are required:
Welding with 2.5 mm coated electrode (I2=80 A): Single-phase set, P
min
= 4 KVA
Welding with 3.25 mm coated electrode (I2=140
160A): Single-phase set, P
min
= 8 KVA
