Extension cable
If needed, it is recommended to use an extension cable, 3x.10 "
length of 164 ft.
Supply from power generators
The power source can be supplied from different types of generators. However,
some generators may not provide sufficient power for welding. The generators with
AVR, equivalent or better type of regulation with rated power 5.5...6.5 kW are
recommended to supply the power source within it's full capacity.
It is also possible to use generators with lower rated power, starting from 3.0kW, but
in that case the setting must be proportionally limited. The power source is protected
against undervoltage. If the power supplied by the generator is not sufficient, the
welding is interrupted. Especially the welding start could be disturbed. In case of
disturbed welding process, either adjust the welding parameters or change to a more
powerful generator.
