FABRICATOR 210

3.04 Input Power Requirements

The Mains supply voltage should be within ± 10% of the rated Mains supply voltage. Too low of a supply
voltage may cause poor welding performance or wirefeeder malfunction. Too high of a supply voltage will cause
components to overheat and possibly fail.
Install a power outlet for each Power Supply and fit fuses as per the machine specifications.
Thermal Arc advises that your Fabricator 210 be electrically connected by a qualified electrical trades-
person.
The Fabricator 210 Power Supply is factory connected for the following input power supply voltage:

*Motor start fuses or thermal circuit breakers are recommended for this application. National Electrical Code
Standards permit the rating of the fuse or thermal circuit breaker protecting the circuit conductors to be double the
standard rating for any circuit used exclusively for an electric arc welder. Check local requirements for your situation
in this regard.
