3-10. Electrical Service Guide CAUTION: INCORRECT INPUT POWER can damage this welding power source. This welding power source requires a CONTINUOUS supply of 50/60 Hz (+10%) power at +10% of rated input voltage. Phase to ground voltage shall not exceed +10% of rated input voltage. Do not use a generator with automatic idle device (that idles engine when no load is sensed) to supply input power to this welding power source.
3-11. Connecting Input Power = GND/PE Earth Ground WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill; SIGNIFICANT DC VOLTAGE exists after removal of input power. S Always wait 5 minutes after power Is turned off before working on unit. S Check input capacitor voltage, and be sure it is near 0 before touching any parts.
SECTION 4 − RECOMMENDED SETUP PROCEDURES 4-1. Selecting Weld Cable Sizes* Y ARC WELDING can cause Electromagnetic Interference. To reduce possible interference, keep weld cables as short as possible, close together, and down low, such as on the floor. Locate welding operation 100 meters from any sensitive electronic equipment. Be sure this welding machine is installed and grounded according to this manual.
