Input Supply Connection
WARNING
Only a qualified electrician can connect the welding
machine to the supply network. Installation had to be
made in accordance with the appropriate National
Electrical Code and local regulations.
Check the input voltage, phase and frequency supplied
to this machine before turning it on. Verify the
connection of ground wires from the machine to the input
source. The welding machine
BESTER 210MP
, must be
connected to a correctly installed plug-in socket with an
earth pin.
Input voltage is 230V, 50/60Hz. For more information
about input supply refer to the technical specification
section of this manual and to the rating plate of the
machine.
Make sure that the amount of mains power available
from the input supply is adequate for normal operation of
the machine. The necessary delayed fuse (or circuit
breaker with "D" characteristic) and cable sizes are
indicated in the technical specification section of this
manual.
WARNING
The welding machine can be supplied from a power
generator of output power at least 30% larger than input
power of the welding machine.
WARNING
When powering welder from a generator be sure to turn
off welder first, before generator is shut down, in order to
prevent damage to welder!
Output Connections
Refer to points [8], [9] and [10] of the Figure 2.
Power Source Placement and
connections
WARNING
Avoid excessive dust, acid and corrosive materials in the
air.
Keep protected from rain and direct sun when in use
outdoors.
There should be 500 mm space about for the welding
machine to have good ventilation.
Use adequate ventilation when in confined areas.

Note:
The ‘protection indicator light’ will come on if the duty
cycle is exceeded. It shows that the inner
temperature is over the permitted level, the machine
should be stopped being used to allow it cool down.
Welding can continue after the ‘protection indicator
light’ is off.
The power source should be switched off when not in
use.
Welders should wear protective clothing and welding
helmet to prevent injury from arc and thermal
radiation.
Care should be taken so as not to expose others to
the welding arc. Use of screening is recommended.
Do not weld near Inflammable or explosive materials.
