(Read the manual carefully before installation, operation and maintenace) Safety Depends on You WEIRO are welding and cutting equipment is designed and built with safety in mind. However, your overall safety can be increased by proper installation... and thoughtful operation in your part. DO NOT INSTALL, OPERATE OR REPAIR THIS EQUIPMENT WITHOUT READING THIS MANUAL AND THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CONTAINED THROUGHOUT.
Principle & Technical data WT-DI Series Block Diagram Of Principle: 3~380V/50Hz 3 phases Hi-frequent Hi-frequent Rectifier Hi-frequent & filter Rectifier inverter transformer inverter Inverter Control circuit Figure 1: Block diagram of principle This series welding machines apply IGBT HF inverter technology. Inputted line frequency 3-phase 380V are rectified by rectifier, inverted into HF AC, reduced by HF transformer, rectified and filtered by HF rectifier, then output DC volt or 50Hz AC square wave volt suitable for welding by second invert.

Features & Application WT-DI series inverter multifunctional welding machines can be divided into three types (315DI, 500DI and 630DI). They can perform DC constant current TIG welding, DC pulse TIG welding, square wave AC constant current TIG welding, square wave AC pulse TIG welding, which are used for carbon steel, copper, titanium, aluminum as well as aluminum-magnesium alloy welding.
Installation Guide 1. Pre-installation 1.1 Installation Environment The WT-DI is designed for use in adverse environments. Examples of environments with increased adverse conditions are: 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;...

1.3 Power Source Connections Warning Thermal Arc advises that this equipment be electrically connected by a qualified electrician. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill; SIGNIFICANT DC VOLTAGE is present after removal of input power. DO NOT TOUCH live electrical parts. SHUT DOWN welding power source, disconnect input power employing lockout/tagging procedures.

1.2 Foot pedal switch with adjustable welding current Figure 8: Foot pedal switch Foot pedal switch can be used for arc start control and welding current regulation of model 315. Welder will switch automatically to foot pedal control after the control plug is connected to welder’s control cable socket.

The function of circuit breaker is to protect welding machine by automatic trip to cut the power supply while in machine is during overload or failure. Use switch on the switch box to start or stop welding machine. Don’t use this circuit breaker as power switch. (2) Input power cable It is 4-pin cable.

precautions such as filtering of the public supply system. Consideration should be given to shielding the supply cable of permanently installed arc welding equipment, in metallic conduit or equivalent. Shielding should be electrically continuous its length. The shielding should be connected to the welding power source so that good electrical contact is maintained between the conduit and the welding power source enclosure.
