Table 4-2. Electrical Service Requirements*

Input Voltage	230	460
Recommended Standard Fuse Or Circuit Breaker Rating In Amperes1	250	125
Input Conductor Size In AWG/Kcmil2	1/0	4
Max Input Conductor Length In Feet (Meters)3	229 (70)	397 (121)
Grounding Conductor Size In AWG/Kcmil4	4	6

*These values are calculated from the 1993 edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC).

1 Recommended fuse or circuit breaker size is that closest to 150% of rated input amperage of the welding power source. Article 630-12(a) of NEC allows fuse or circuit breaker sizing up to 200% of rated input amperage.

2 Input conductor size is for insulated copper wire with 75° C rating with not more than three single current-carrying conductors in a cable or raceway (Table 310-16 of NEC).

3 Maximum length is to prevent more than a 3% voltage drop between service entrance and input terminals of the welding power source (Articles 210-19(a) and 215-2(b) of NEC).

4 The grounding conductor shall be colored or identified as specified in the NEC. Grounding conductor size for copper wire is not required to be larger than input conductor (Article 250-95 of NEC).
