3.04 Mains Supply Voltage Requirements
The Mains supply voltage should be within ± 10% of the rated Mains supply voltage. Too low of a supply voltage may
cause poor welding performance or wirefeeder malfunction. Too high of a supply voltage will cause components to
overheat and possibly fail.
Install a power outlet for each Power Supply and fit fuses as per the machine specifications.
