2.1. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY INSTALLATION.
The electrical installation of the equipment making up the system must be carried out by specialised
personnel according to the standards in force.
The location must meet the following requirements:
Place: Dry and ventilated, far enough away from the welding area in order to prevent the metal dust
caused by the welding process from getting into the equipment. The equipment must not be used in the rain.
PLACE THE WELDING MACHINE ON A FIRM FLAT SURFACE.
IF EQUIPMENT OF THIS KIND TIPS OVER IT CAN HAVE VERY SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.
The main switchboard where the machine has to be connected must be comprised of a differential circuit
breaker and a magnetothermal switch.
AUTOMATIC CIRCUIT BREAKER (IA): Three-pole or four-pole. The instrument will be chosen according to
the characteristics plate. We advise choosing a slow type Intensity-Time characteristic (Curve G), as false
tripping could occur due to transitory overloads.
DIFFERENTIAL CIRCUIT BREAKER (ID): Four-pole or three-pole with minimum sensitivity of 300 mA. The
aim of this switch is to protect the personnel from direct or indirect contact with electrical parts under voltage.
The differential circuit breaker is selected with a superior gauge to ID.

If a supply hose longer than 5 metres should be required, you should replace the existing hose (See Figure
4 mark K) with another one whose section must be chosen according to Table 3. To carry out this operation
remove the side of the equipment (mark 23 on the general parts explosion), the terminals of the supply hose
are adjacent to the intake stuffing box (mark 22 on the general parts explosion).

by arrows on the packaging. In any case, the packaging must be
protected from water.
with a crane. To assemble the modular system follow the
assembly instructions enclosed with the transport trolley or bottle
support. The assembly will be carried out by suspending the
equipment as shown in figure 2.
The connection to the mains is made from the intake hose. The Figure on the left
shows the connection of the intake hose to the two most common types of
standardised plug (IEC 309-2). In this figure L1, L2 and L3 show the phase cables
and PE represents the earth protection conductor.
DO NOT FORGET TO FIT THE EARTH CONNECTION INTO THE PLUG.
