3.3 Electrical Input Power
The CUT-40 is a three-wire grounded device (hot-neutral-ground) rated for 250 V
maximum.
THE CUT-40 SHOULD BE OPERATED FROM A PROPERLY GROUNDED
SINGLE-PHASE, 60Hz, 250 VAC, 50 AMP AC POWER SUPPLY.
The time-delay fuses or circuit breaker of an individual branch circuit may trip
when welding with this product due to the amperage rating of the time-delay
fuses or circuit breaker.
The recommended time-delay fuses or circuit breaker size is 50 amperes.
Fuse/circuit breaker size is based on not more than 200 percent of the rated
input amperage of the welding power source (Based on Article 630, National
Electrical Code).
An individual branch circuit capable of carrying 50 amperes and time-delay fuses
or circuit breaker protection is recommended for this application.
Each unit incorporates an INRUSH circuit. When the MAIN CIRCUIT SWITCH is
turned on, the inrush circuit provides pre-charging for the input capacitors. A
relay in the Power Control Assembly (PCA) will turn on after the input capacitors
have charged to operating voltage (after approximately 5 seconds)
Damage to the PCA could occur if 250 VAC or higher is applied to the Primary
Power Cable.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CUT OFF THE GROUND PIN.
DOING SO, THE LIVE/NEUTRAL POLARITY IS LOST AND
WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF SHOCK. DO NOT USE ANY
ADAPTERS BETWEEN THE CUTTER'S POWER CORD AND
THE SOURCE RECEPTICLE.
