Fuse the input circuit with the recommended super lag
fuses or delay type

circuit breakers. Choose an input
and grounding wire size according to local or national
codes or refer to the
Technical Specifications
page at
the beginning of this section. Using fuses or circuit
breakers smaller than recommended may result in
"nuisance" tripping from welder inrush currents even if
not welding at high currents.
Unbalanced AC TIG welding draws higher input cur-
rents than those for Stick, DC TIG, or Balanced AC TIG
welding. The welder is designed for these higher input
currents. However, where unbalanced AC TIG welding
above 180 amps is planned, the higher input currents
require larger input wire sizes and fuses per the
Technical Specifications
page at the beginning of
this section.
INPUT RECONNECT PROCEDURE
On multiple input voltage welders, be sure the recon-
nect panel is connected per the following instructions
for the voltage being supplied to the welder.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAN CAUSE IMMEDIATE FAILURE OF COMPO-
NENTS WITHIN THE WELDER.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welders are shipped connected for the highest input
voltage as listed on the rating plate. To change this con-
nection, refer to the following instructions:
1. Remove the right case side to reveal the reconnect
panel.
2. Reconnect the lead marked A to the terminal stud
corresponding to the input voltage used. Refer to
the figure representing the model being reconnect-
ed:

input and grounding lead sizes as specified in the operating manual. Failure to follow
instructions below can cause immediate failure of components within the welder.

1. Connect the input power leads to the input terminals, L1 (U) and L2 (V), at the right
below. Connect the input power leads with the hardware provided. Completely
tighten all fasteners.
Connect a grounding lead to the ground stud located on the machine base near
the input terminals.
Welders are shipped connected for the highest rated single phase input voltage
with the lead marked "A" connected to the stud marked "4 (HIGH)".
For middle range input, reconnect the lead marked "A" to the stud marked "3 (MID)".
For low range input, reconnect the lead marked "A" to the stud marked "2 (LOW)".

Also called "inverse time" or "thermal/magnetic" circuit breakers; circuit
breakers which have a delay in tripping action that decreases as the magni-
tude of the current increases.
