  • Page 7: Installation

    Installation The SifWeld MTS200 is equipped with a network voltage compensation device, this ensures that when the network voltage changes within the 15% range, the machine can still continue to work. The cross-sectional area of any extension cable must be above the cross-sectional area of the machines mains input cable to minimise voltage drop.
