Installation
This chapter explains the necessary equipment, installation environment and transportation method for installing the
welding power source.
3.1 Required Equipment
This section explains the necessary power supply equipment for installing the welding power source and equipment for
preventing lack of oxygen and dust hazard during welding.
3.1.1
Welding power source equipment
For installing the welding power source, power source equipment and protective device that meet the following ratings
are required.
•
When the welding power source is used in a humid environment such as construction
site, or location with highly conducting material such as steel plate or on steel structure,
install a leakage breaker.
Otherwise, electric shock due to leakage of electricity may occur.
•
Be sure to install a switch with fuse or a circuit breaker to the input side of each welding
power source.
Otherwise, electric shock and fire due to overcurrent or damage to the welding power
source may occur.
