source whenever necessary to inspect or service the unit.
Do not connect an input (WHITE or BLACK) conductor to the ground terminal.
Do not connect the ground (GREEN) conductor to an input line terminal.
• Correctly installed, if necessary, by a qualied electrician.
• Correctly earthed (electrically) in accordance with local regulations.
• Connected to the correct size power point, fuse and primary supply lead based on Table 3-1. Refer to Table 3-1.

NOTE!
Welding arc outs may be experienced if an extension cord is used when STICK welding when operating
the Power Source on 95 VAC due to the lack of DC voltage at the STICK electrode.
Input Power
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)
NOTE!
Damage to the PCA could occur if 140V AC or higher is applied to the Primary Power Cord.
