Standard Module Connections | Miller Electric MARK VIII-2 guide

A. Standard Module Connections

YREAD SAFETY BLOCKS at start of Section 4-6before proceeding.

INADEQUATE WORK CABLE CONNECTIONS can cause serious damage to input power service and create a hazardous condition.

Connect an electrical cable of adequate size between the common work connection terminal and the workpiece whenever any mod- ule(s) is connected to use the frame connection terminal and the common work connection terminal.

1 Cable Restraint

Route all cables under cable restraint.

Separate Work Connections

See Section 4-4for proper cable size.

YFor common work connection, work cable must be able to carry combined weld output of all modules using the common work connection terminal (see Table 3-1for proper cable size). When using the common work con- nection terminal, all connections to the common work connection terminal must be of the same polarity.

For Electrode Positive (Reverse Polarity/DCEP), connect work cable to Negative (−) terminal and electrode holder cable to Positive

(+) terminal.

For Electrode Negative (Straight Polarity/DCEN), reverse cable connections.

8Frame Connection Terminal

9Jumper Link

For Electrode Negative (Straight Polarity/DCEN), connect jumper link across Positive (+) terminal and Frame Connection terminal, and connect electrode holder to Nega- tive (−) terminal.

For Electrode Positive (Reverse Polarity/DCEP), connect jumper link across Negative (−) terminal and Frame Connection terminal, and connect electrode holder to Positive (+) terminal.
