INSTALLATION
Caddy 130/140
The Caddy 130/140 is available in a version intended for 230 V, single- - phase power supply,
and can be used on supply voltages of 230 - - 240 V, 50- - 60 Hz.
To use Caddy 130/140 at its full rating, it must be protected by a 16 A slow- -blow fuse.
If, however, it will be used only for welding currents of up to about 100 A, a 10 A slow- - blow
fuse is sufficient.
Caddy 200
The Caddy 200 is available in a version intended for 400 V, three- - phase power supply,
50- - 60 Hz.
A 10 A slow blow fuse is sufficient to allow Caddy 200 to be used at its full rating.
(Normally, 400 V supplies are protected by 16 A fuses.)

The requisite welding cable cross- - sectional areas are 16 mm
for the Caddy 130/140 and 25
2
mm
for the Caddy 200.
Cable lengths in excess of 3 m are seldom required: if you intend to weld some distance from
the nearest mains supply point, use a mains extension lead. It is always preferable to have a
long mains cable rather than long welding cables, as the voltage drop is less in a mains cable.
Note, however, that excessively long cables can affect the welding voltage.
Caddy incorporate mains voltage compensation, which means that
10% variation in mains
±
supply voltage results in a variation of only
0.2% of arc voltage.
