XA
NOTE: Turn main input power to the machine OFF before performing connection procedure. Failure to do so will result in damage to the machine.
INPUT CONNECTION
WARNING
Only a qualified electrician should connect the input leads to the Power Wave. Connections should be made in accordance with all local and national electrical codes and the connection dia- gram located on the inside of the reconnect/input access door of the machine. Failure to do so may result in bodily injury or death.
Use a
inside of the input access door or refer to Figure A.1 .
INPUT VOLTAGE CHANGE OVER (FOR MULTIPLE INPUT VOLTAGE MACHINES ONLY)
Welders are shipped connected for the highest input voltage listed on the rating plate. To move this con- nection to a different input voltage, see the diagram located on the inside of the input access door.
If the Auxiliary (A) lead is placed in the wrong position, there are two possible results. If the lead is placed in a position higher than the applied line voltage, the welder may not come on at all. If the Auxiliary (A) lead is placed in a position lower than the applied line volt- age, the welder will not come on, and the two circuit breakers in the reconnect area will open. If this occurs, turn off the input voltage, properly connect the (A) lead, reset the breakers, and try again.
INPUT FUSE AND SUPPLY WIRE
CONSIDERATIONS
Refer to the Technical Specifications at the beginning of this Installation section for recommended fuse and
wire sizes. Fuse the input circuit with the recommend- ed super lag fuse or delay type breakers (also called “inverse time” or “thermal/magnetic” circuit breakers). Choose an input and grounding wire size according to local or national electrical codes. Using fuses or circuit breakers smaller than recommended may result in “nuisance”
