2.1. 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 metal dust
caused by the welding process from getting into the equipment. The equipment must not be used in the rain.
PLACE THE WELDING MACHINE ON A FIRM FLAT SURFACE.
IF EQUIPMENT OF THIS KIND TIPS OVER IT CAN HAVE VERY SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.
The main switchboard where the machine has to be connected must be comprised of a differential circuit
breaker and a magnetothermal switch.
AUTOMATIC CIRCUIT BREAKER (IA): Three-pole or four-pole. The instrument will be chosen according to
the characteristics plate. We advise choosing a slow type Intensity-Time characteristic (Curve G), as false
tripping could occur due to transitory overloads.
DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH (ID): Four-pole or three-pole with 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 with a superior gauge to ID.

The connection to the mains is made from the intake hose. The Figure on the left
shows the connection of the intake hose to the two most common types of
standardised plug (IEC 309-2). In this figure L1, L2 and L3 show the phase cables
and PE represents the earth protection conductor.
DO NOT FORGET TO FIT THE EARTH CONNECTION INTO THE
PLUG.

If a supply hose longer than 5 metres should be required, you should replace the existing hose with
another one whose section must be chosen according to the preceding table.
VOLTAGE CHANGE
Standard equipment leave the factory with the voltage selected at 400 V. To change to 230V voltage
remove the lid on the rear of the equipment, changing the location of the terminals as shown on the upper
figure.
DO NOT FORGET TO FIT THE EARTH CONNECTION INTO THE PLUG.
MAKE SURE THE MAINS VOLTAGE COINCIDES WITH
THAT ESTABLISHED IN THE MACHINE.
