2.3. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION TO GENERATING SET.
The GALAXY 3000 equipment are suitable for electrical installation to 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. The activation of the protection system is indicated by means of
light diodes situated on the front of the equipment. See section 5.1.
The table below will help you choose the power of the generating set. These data are approximate and vary
with the quality of the generating set, its adjustment and environmental conditions.

2.4. LONG DISTANCE INSTALLATION OF WELDING POSITION.
The GALAXY 3000 equipment has two main qualities: high performance for OFFSHORE application
outdoors and high portability with reduced dimensions, enabling it to be transported conveniently to a welding
position situated a long distance away from the installation, without having to implement considerable lengths
of welding cable. This optimises the cost of the installation.
