2. TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION
2.1. TRANSPORT AND PACKAGING
Knocks and sudden movements must be avoided when transporting the equipment. 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 board where the machine has to be connected must have the following
elements, at least:
DIFFERENTIAL CIRCUIT BREAKER (GFCI o RCBO): 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 Rating Plate.
AUTOMATIC CIRCUIT BREAKER (MCB): Bi-polar. The instrument will be chosen according to
the Rating 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’s Rating Plate.
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
