5 OPERATION
General safety regulations for handling the equipment can be found in the "SAFETY"
chapter of this manual. Read it through before you start using the equipment!
5.1 PFC - Power factor correction
The Caddy Arc 151i/201i are 230 V single-phase power sources equipped with a PFC circuit
making it possible to use the full range of the power source on a 16 A fuse.
The PFC also protects the power sources against fluctuating mains voltage and makes it
safer to use with a generator. Caddy Arc 151i/201i can operate with extra long mains cables,
over 100 m, giving you a very larger working radius.
