GENERATOR SET
Features and connections
The welding machine indicated in this handbook can operate with an alternate current
between a minimum value of 195V and a maximum value of 265V; the frequency range
goes from 50Hz to 60Hz.
Always use earth connection with a residual current device
with a 16A slow curve
magnetothermic switch (for the 230V version), or a 20A slow curve magnetothermic switch
(for the 110V version). The power peak at the very first instant of the welding may achieve
3500VA.
The machine can work in an ambient temperature between
–
10 °C and +50°C.
Dimensions of the electrical couplers, and the condition and cleanliness of the connectors,
pins and terminals, they all determine the power required. The characteristics of the
generator are to be taken into consideration, as well.
ATTENTION PLEASE! No other device besides the welding machine must be plugged to the
generator during the welding cycle.
ATTENTION PLEASE! The power output of the generator decreases of approximately 10% for
every 1000 m altitude increase.
Acceptable extensions:
230V version
The section of the electric wires of the power supply cables varies according to their length:
-
Section of 2,5 mm
2
for a maximum length of 70 m
-
Section of 1,5 mm
2
for a maximum length of 35 m
110V version
The section of the electric wires of the power supply cables varies according to their length:
-
Section of 2,5 mm
2
for a maximum length of 30 m
-
Section of 1,5 mm
2
for a maximum length of 10m
The power supply cable must be completely laid out and stretched before being used.
ALWAYS RESPECT THE APPLICABLE LOCAL/NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL LAWS, REGULATIONS,
STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR GENERATOR SETS.

BEFORE AND AFTER WELDING
Before plugging the machine and starting to weld, check the following:
NOMINAL VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY OF THE POWER SOURCE:
be sure they correspond to
the ones of the machine (ref.
“Technical Features”).
OUTLETS AND EXTENSION CABLES:
they must be adequate to the power absorbed by the
machine (see pages 23 and 26).
CABLES:
their insulating must be intact. Cables must not be exposed to the passage of
vehicles and/or passers-by, and/or to chemical substances and/or any and all mechanical
strain.
CHASSIS:
must be isolated and positioned in a stable manner.
Keep the machine and correspondent cables clean and dry at all times. Before starting a
cleaning operation, unplug the machine from the power source. Use a soft cloth moist with
water or alcohol (avoid any type of solvents).
ELEKTRA
is an electronic device; therefore, it must be handled with caution, avoiding violent
impacts and abrupt changes in temperature.
In order to assure a long-lasting reliability of the machine, the user must do some periodical
check-ups, paying special attention to:
•
Pins and connectors
•
Welding and power supply cables
•
Display
•
Mechanical structure (case, chassis)
