2. TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION.
HANDLE THE EQUIPMENT CAREFULLY, IT WILL LAST LONGER!
2.1. TRANSPORT AND PACKAGING.
Knocks and sudden movements must be avoided when transporting the equipment. The transport position will be
shown by arrows on the packaging. In any case, the packaging must be protected from water.
2.2. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY INSTALLATION.
The electrical installation of the equipment making up the system must be carried out by specialised personnel
according to the applicable standards.
The location must fulfil the following conditions:
Place: Dry and ventilated. Far enough away from the welding area in order to prevent the dust caused by the
welding process from getting into the equipment. Never work in the rain.
The main switchboard where the machine has to be connect must be comprised of a differential circuit breaker
and a magnetothermal switch.
PLACE THE WELDING MACHINE ON A FIRM FLAT SURFACE.
IF EQUIPMENT OF THIS KIND TIPS OVER IT CAN HAVE VERY SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.
The main switchboard where the machine has to be connected must be comprised of a differential circuit breaker
and a magnetothermal switch.
MAGNETOTHERMAL SWITCH (IA): Three-pole or four-pole. The instrument will be chosen according to the
characteristics plate. We advise choosing a slow type of Intensity-Time characteristic (Curve G), as false tripping
could occur due to transitory current.
DIFFERENTIAL CIRCUIT BREAKER (ID): Four-pole or three-pole with a minimum sensitivity of 300 mA. The aim of this
switch is to protect the personnel from direct or indirect contact with electrical parts under voltage. The differential
circuit breaker is selected with a superior gauge to ID.
