5 Power Connection
The connecting conditions of EVU, the VDE-directions, the accident prevention
regulations, DIN/CEN-regulations as well as national regulations have to be
considered.
Electro Fusion Control Units have to be used by operators, which are trained and authorised conform the
national and international standards and directives, only. The operator has to supervise the electro fusion
control box during the whole fusion process.
The electro fusion control unit has to be used within the following ranges:
Parameter 230V Control Units 110V Control Units
Input Voltage: 185V – 300V (AC) 90V – 150V (AC)
Input Frequency:: 40Hz – 70Hz 40Hz – 70Hz
Ambient Temperature: -10°C – +50°C -10°C – +50°C
Max. Output Power: 3600W 3600W
Caution: 110V Control Units shall not be used at 230V power supply and vice versa.
When operating on a electric distributor or the main power supply of nominal 230V, a min. 16 Amps slow
fuse comprising a
residual current-operated protective device (RCCB) should be used (110V: min.
32Amps).
Extension Cables:
To extend the power supply cable you have to follow the following rules:
Cable length Cross Section (230V) Cross Section (110V)
Up to 20m 3 x 1.5mm² 3 x 4mm²
20 to 50m 3 x 2.5mm² 3 x 4mm²
50-100m 3 x 4mm² -
It is not allowed to extend the welding cable!
Important notes for the use of generators:
•
First start generator, then plug in the device.
•
No other machine or device shall be connected to the generator
•
The idle running voltage should be regulated to 240V – 260V (AC) at nominal 230V
(nominal 110V: 120V – 130V (AC)).
•
Plug out welding device before turning off the generator.
•
The usable generator power will decrease by 10% per 1000m height.
•
Check the fuel level before starting the welding process.
