OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Output Studs
The output leads are connected to the output
terminals. The output terminals are located on the
lower case front and labeled “+” and “-”. There are
1000 amp rated “+” terminals on the right side, one
500 amp rated “+” terminal near the center and “-”
terminals on the left side. They are fully recessed to
minimize the possibility of accidental contact by an
object or a person. Strain relief is provided by the
oval holes in the base. The leads are run through
these oval holes before they are connected to the
output terminals.
An output stud cover protects against accidental
contact with the output studs. Cover hinges upward
for access to the studs.
The 1000 amp output connections provide the full
rated output range of the machine. See Table1 for
recommended DC-1000 cable sizes for combined
lengths of electrode and work cables.
The 500 amp output connections provide enhanced
lower current arc characteristics, especially for
submerged arc and GMAW procedures below
450 amps.
Auxiliary Power
This machine supplies the 115 volt, AC power needed
for operating wire feeding equipment. The power is
available from terminals #31 and #32 on the terminal
strip. An 8 amp slow blow fuse on the machine control
panel protects the auxiliary power from excessive
overloads. The circuit has a 1000 volt-ampere rating.
Control Cable Connection
Terminal strips with screw connections are located
behind the hinged door on the front of the power
source to make all the control cable connections for
operating wire feeding equipment. See the
appropriate connection diagram for exact instructions
covering the wire feeder being used.
With the DC-1000 turned off, the control cable from
the automatic wire feeding equipment is connected to
the terminal strip. A strain relief box connector is
provided for access into the terminal strip section. A
chassis grounding screw is also provided below the
terminal strip marked with the symbol for
connecting the wire feeding equipment grounding
wire. See the appropriate connection diagram for the
exact instructions for the wire feeder being used. A
spare hole is provided for an additional box connector
if required.
Connecting for Air Carbon Arc
:
a. Turn off all power.
b. Disconnect all wire feed unit control, electrode and
work leads.
c. Connect a jumper from 2-4 on terminal strip.
d. Place mode switch in the CV Innershield position.
With the DC-1000 connected for air carbon arc
welding, the output terminals will be energized at all
times.
