2.3 CONNECTING TO THE POWER GRID
The welding machine is designed as a standard:
1.
The mains voltage is 230V (-30% +13%) - for the ProMIG-160/200/250;
2.
The ProMIG-270/350/500/630 models operate on a three-phase 3x380V or 3x400V (-
15% +15%) input, facilitated by three conductors - for safety compliance in welding
operations, grounding the machine's enclosure is imperative, which can be achieved
in two ways:
a)
by leveraging the fourth conductor in the mains cable, adhering to the
yellow-green international marking standard,
b)
by connecting to the bolt terminal at the machine's rear, a practice aligned
with the stringent grounding specifications in CIS nations.
ATTENTION
!: If the device is connected to a mains voltage higher than 270 V (for PRO-
160/200/250) or 450 V (for PRO-270/350/500/630), all manufacturer's warranty obligations
are void!
The manufacturer's warranty obligations are also void if the mains phase is
incorrectly connected to source earth.
The mains connection, mains cable cross-sections and mains fuses must be selected on the
basis of the technical data of the appliance.
2.4 CONNECTING THE POWER PLUG
ATTENTION!
The plug must match the supply voltage and current consumption of the
welder (see technical data). Use sockets with guaranteed earthing according to safety
regulations!
ATTENTION
! The main switch on the
ProMIG-160/200/250
serves as a signal button and
only interrupts the power supply to the welding machine, without fully powering down its
internal electronics. For utmost safety, always unplug the unit's power cord from the
electrical outlet after finishing work.
3. MANUAL METAL ARC (SMAW) WELDING
ATTENTION!
Due to unblocked connectors of the welding current connection (device
connection) or dirt on the workpiece connection (paint, corrosion), the connection areas and
wires can get hot and you can get burned if you touch them!
Daily check the welding current connections and, if necessary, lock them by turning them
clockwise. Thoroughly clean the workpiece connection area and attach properly! Do not use
the workpiece structure parts as the welding current return line!
