•
In areas, not exposed to direct sunlight or rain.
•
Place at a distance of 12" – 18" (300 - 460mm) or more from walls or similar
that could restrict natural air flow for cooling
3.2 Environment
These units are designed for use in environments with increased hazard of
electric shock. Examples of environments with increased hazards are:
A. In locations in which freedom of movement is restricted, so that the operator is
forced to perform the work in a cramped (kneeling, sitting or lying) position
with physical contact with conductive parts.
B. In locations which are fully or partially limited by conductive elements, and in
which there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact by the operator.
C. In wet or damp hot locations where humidity or perspiration considerably
reduces the skin resistance of the human body and the insulation properties of
accessories.
Environments with increased hazard of electric shock do not include places
where electrically conductive parts in the near vicinity of the operator, which can
cause increased hazard, have been insulated.
3.3 Electrical Input Power
The S-200i is a three-wire grounded device (hot-neutral-ground) rated for 240 V
maximum.
THE S-200i SHOULD BE OPERATED FROM A SINGLE-PHASE 50/60Hz, AC
POWER SUPPLY. THE INPUT VOLTAGE SHOULD MATCH THE ELECTRICAL
INPUT VOLTAGES SHOWN ON THE INPUT DATA LABEL ON THE UNIT
NAMEPLATE. SEE SECTION 2.1 FOR EXAMPLE
The time-delay fuses or circuit breaker of an individual branch circuit may trip
when welding with this product due to the amperage rating of the time-delay
fuses or circuit breaker.
The recommended time-delay fuses or circuit breaker size is 30 amperes.
Fuse/circuit breaker size is based on not more than 200 percent of the rated
input amperage of the welding power source (Based on Article 630, National
Electrical Code).
An individual branch circuit capable of carrying 30 amperes and time-delay fuses
or circuit breaker protection is recommended for this application.
