Fuse should break for currents greater than those listed and/or times longer than those listed. Additionally, ensure that the
fuse or breaker is compatible with the listed voltage and maximum instantaneous current.
# For CE-marked, 400V, 50/60Hz units, duty cycle is reduced by 50% due to temperature/rating limits imposed by EN60974-12.
* Please consult local standards.
Verify that all fuses or circuit breakers are suitable for the electrical load applied. Failure to comply
with the recommended input fuse sizes and warnings can result in damage to the Nelweld unit.
Fuses are always preferred over circuit breakers due to the high inrush current
(on the order of 1300A for 1-2 cycles)
