2. TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION.
2.1. TRANSPORT AND PACKAGING
Knocks and sudden movements must be avoided when transporting the equipment. In any case, the
packaging must be protected from water.
HANDLE THE EQUIPMENT CAREFULLY, IT WILL LAST LONGER !
2.2. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY INSTALLATION.
The electrical installation of the equipment making up the system must be carried out by specialised
personnel according to the applicable standards.
The location must fulfill the following conditions:
Place: Dry and ventilated. Far enough away from the welding area in order to prevent the dust caused
-
by the welding process from getting into the equipment. Never work in the rain.
The distribution panel where the machine has to be connected must have the following elements, at
-
least:
DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH (ID): Tripolar-tetrapolar with a minimum sensitivity of 300 mA. The mission of this
device is to protect people from direct or indirect contact with live electrical parts. The differential switch
is selected on the basis of the type plate.
AUTOMATIC CIRCUIT BREAKER (IA): Tripolar. The device will be selected according to the type plate.
The connection to the mains is made by the input hose. IMPORTANT! Verify that the wire is connected to a
plug with an efficient earth tap.
If you have special equipment, with power supply voltage other than 230 V, you will find the data for
defining the necessary electrical installation on the equipment characteristics plate.
Any supply voltage that is outside the rated margin gives rise to the activation of the protection system,
preventing the welding operation.

If it is necessary to use a longer power supply hose
or a connection to an extension, keep in mind the
values of this table. These values are for
reference and are influenced by the state of the
conductors, connections and ambient
temperature.
