damage for proper function. Make sure that the push-on connection terminals work properly,
that contact is fully established, and that the contact surfaces are clean. All parts have to be

Utility suppliers’ wiring requirements, occupational safety rules, applicable standards, and national
codes have to be respected.
When using power distributions on the worksite, rules for the installation of
earth-leakage circuit breakers (RCD) have to be respected, and operation requires
an installed breaker.
Generator or mains power fuse protection should be 16 A (slow blow). The product has to be
protected against rain and humidity.
2.9.2 Generator Power Supply
The required nominal generator capacity as determined by the power supply requirement of
the largest fitting to be welded depends on the power supply specifications, the environment
conditions, and the generator type itself including its control/regulation characteristics.
Nominal output power for a generator 1 phase, 220 - 240 V, 50/60 Hz:
d 20 .............d 160 3,2 kW
d 160 ............d 450 4 kW mechanically regulated
5 kW electronically regulated
Start the generator first, then connect the welding unit. The idle voltage should be set to approx.
240 volts. When turning the generator off, disconnect the welding unit first.
The working output power of the generator decreases by about 10% per 1,000 m of
altitude. During the welding process no other device connected to the same
generator should be operated.
