NOTE
Note 1: The Effective Input Current should be used for the determination of cable size & supply
requirements.
Note 2: Motor start fuses or thermal circuit breakers are recommended for this application.
Check local requirements for your situation in this regard.
Note 3: Minimum Generator Recommendation at the Maximum Output Duty Cycle.
Due to large variations in performance and specifications of different brands and types of genera-
tors, Cigweld cannot guarantee full welding output power or duty cycle on every brand or type of
generator.
Some small generators incorporate low cost circuit breakers on their outputs. These circuit break-
ers usually will have a small reset button, and will trip much faster than a switchboard type circuit
breaker. This may result in not being able to achieve full output or duty cycle from the power source
/ generator combination. For this reason we recommend a generator that incorporates switchboard
type circuit breakers.
In some circumstances, long welds at high welding current may trip the circuit breaker on the
generator.
Cigweld recommends that when selecting a generator, that the particular power source / generator
combination be adequately trialled to ensure the combination performs to the users expectations.
