Always read and follow wire man-
ufacturer’s recommended polarity.
There are two jumper links (1 set)
across each set of terminals. Be
sure to move each set of links when
changing polarity.

These values are calculated from the 1993 edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
1 Recommended fuse or circuit breaker size is that closest to 150% of rated input amperage of the welding power
source. Article 630-12(a) of NEC allows fuse or circuit breaker sizing up to 200% of rated input amperage.
2 Input conductor size is for insulated copper wire with 75°C rating with not more than three single current-carrying
conductors in a cable or raceway (Table 310-16 of NEC).
3 Maximum length is to prevent more than a 3% voltage drop between service entrance and input terminals of the
welding power source (Articles 210-19(a) and 215-2(b) of NEC).
4 The grounding conductor shall be colored or identified as specified in the NEC. Grounding conductor size for copper
wire is not required to be larger than input conductor (Article 250-95 of NEC).
