2.5.3 Cable positions for multiple machine congurations
When using two or more FastMig X 450 units working on the same work piece, the right
positioning of voltage sensing cable and the earth return cable is important.
In order for the voltage sensing function to work properly, the earth return cable and the
voltage sensing cable for each FastMig X 450 unit should be connected close to each other
and away from other units’cables (see the pictures below).
2.5.4 Connecting to mains power
FastMig power sources are delivered as standard with 5 meters of mains power cable. No
mains plug is tted at the Kemppi factory.
NOTE! If local country-based regulations state an alternative power cable is required, the mains
cable must be replaced in conformity with the regulations. Connection and installation of the
mains cable and plug should only be carried out by a suitably qualied person.
Remove the machine cover plate to enable mounting of a mains cable. FastMig X 450 power
sources can be connected to the mains supply of 400 V 3~ .
If changing the mains cable take into consideration the following:
The cable is entered into the machine through the inlet ring on the rear panel of the machine
and fastened with a cable clamp (05). The phase conductors of the cable are coupled to
connectors L1, L2 and L3. The earth protection coloured green-yellow is coupled to the
marked connector.
If you are using 5-lead cable, do not connect the neutral conductor.

*) In cables of S type there is a protective grounding conductor coloured green-yellow.
Generator use
If no mains connection is available, you can use FastMig X 450 on a generator. The minimum
recommended generator output is 35 kVA. The greater the output, the more stable is the
FastMig X 450 operation.

2.5.5 Cables
Kemppi always recommend the use of high quality copper cables with a suitable cross-
sectional area. Cable size should be selected depending on the intended welding application.
50 mm² copper cables may be used for low duty work in basic or synergic 1-MIG. However,
using pulsed MIG/MAG process, longer cables, or higher welding power increase the voltage
loss, and therefore smaller cross sectional interconnection cables and earth return cables will
restrict the welding performance of your machine.
Recommended cross-sectional area of FastMig X 450 cables: 70 – 90 mm².
The enclosed table shows typical load capacities and voltage loss values of rubber insulated
copper cables for duty cycles 100%, 60% and 30%, when ambient temperature is 25 °C and
the cable temperature is 85 °C.
Cable size 100 % 60 % 30 % Voltage loss / 10 m
50 mm² 285 A 370 A 520 A 0.35V / 100 A
70 mm² 355 A 460 A 650 A 0.25V / 100 A
95 mm² 430 A 560 A 790 A 0.18V / 100 A
Do not overload the cables due to voltage losses and heating.
NOTE! Always check the serviceability of the earth return cable and clamp. Ensure the metal
surface to which the cable is connected is clean from metal oxide or paint. Check the connector to
the power source is fastened correctly.
2.5.6 Interconnection with wire feeder
Kemppi provide a choice of interconnection cable sets for dierent environments. Only
materials that meet the demands of Kemppi's international markets are used in their
construction.
Used correctly, Kemppi cable sets ensure high welding performance and serviceability.
Before use, always ensure the cable set is in good condition and that connectors are correctly
fastened. Loose connections reduce welding performance and may result in damage to
connectors due to heating eects.
For correct connection and conguration of cable sets, please refer to schematic drawings in
section 2.5 of this manual.
NOTE! FastMig X 450 power sources are designed to be used with MXF and MXP wire feed units.
