INPUT CONNECTION

------------------------------------------------------------------------
(See Figure A.1)
Use a three-phrase supply line. A 1.40 inch diameter
access hole with strain relief is located on the case
back. Route input power cable through this hole and
connect L1, L2, L3 and ground per connection dia-
grams and National Electric Code. To access the
input power connection block, remove three screws
holding the access door to the side of the machine.

INPUT FUSE AND SUPPLY WIRE

CONSIDERATIONS
Refer to Specification Section for recommended fuse,
wire sizes and type of the copper wires. Fuse the
input circuit with the recommended super lag fuse or
delay type breakers (also called "inverse time" or
"thermal/magnetic" circuit breakers). Choose input
and grounding wire size according to local or national
electrical codes. Using input wire sizes, fuses or cir-
cuit breakers smaller than recommended may result in
"nuisance" shut-offs from welder inrush currents, even
if the machine is not being used at high currents.

INPUT VOLTAGE SELECTION

®
The POWER WAVE S500 automatically adjusts to
work with different input voltages. No reconnect switch
settings are required.
WARNING
The POWER WAVE
switch is not intended as a service
disconnect for this equipment. Only
a qualified electrician should con-
nect the input leads to the POWER
WAVE S500. Connections should
®
be made in accordance with all local and national
electrical codes and the connection diagram locat-
ed on the inside of the reconnect access door of
the machine. Failure to do so may result in bodily
injury or death.
