INPUT AND GROUND CONNECTIONS

1. Before starting the installation, check with the local power
company if there are any questions about whether your power
supply is adequate for the voltage, amperes, phase, and frequency
specified on the welder rating plate. Also be sure the planned
installation will meet the U.S. National Electrical Code and local
code requirements. This welder may be operated from a single
phase line or from one phase of a two or three phase line.
2. The following warning decal is adhered to the input panel located
on the back of the machine. The power cords supplied with the unit
shall only be used with the Power MIG 210 unit.

WARNING
3. The Power MIG 210 MP is shipped with (two) six-foot power cords.
4. Using the instructions in Figure B.2, have a qualified electrician
connect a receptacle (Customer Supplied) or cable to the input
power lines and the system ground per the U.S. National Electrical
Code and any applicable local codes. For cords over 100 foot,
larger copper wires should be used. Fuse the two hot lines with
super lag type fuses as shown in the following diagram. The
center contact in the receptacle is for the grounding connection. A
green wire in the input cable connects this contact to the frame of
the welder. This ensures proper grounding of the welder frame
when the welder plug is inserted into a grounded receptacle.

LOCATION AND MOUNTING

The Power MIG 210 MP will operate in harsh environments. Even so,
it is important that preventative measures are followed in order to
assure long life, reliability, and safe operation.
• The Power MIG 210MP must be located in an area with circulation
of clean air such that air movement in the back and out the front
louvers.
• Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the Power MIG 210MP should be
kept to a minimum. Failure to observe these precautions can result
in excessive operating temperatures and nuisance thermal trips.

HIGH FREQUENCY PROTECTION

During operation, distance the Power MIG 210 MP from radio
controlled machinery. The normal operation of the Power MIG 210 MP
may adversely affect the operation of RF controlled equipment, which
may result in bodily injury or damage to the equipment.
