4.2 Stromanschluss

The welder supports dual voltage input. Ensure the correct voltage is selected and the power source meets the requirements.

  • Bandtage Auswahl: The welder automatically detects 110V or 220V AC input.
  • Leistungsschalter: For 110V operation, a dedicated 30 Amp circuit breaker is recommended to prevent tripping, especially at higher amperage settings. For 220V, consult local electrical codes for appropriate breaker size.
  • Netzkabel: Schließen Sie das Netzkabel an eine geeignete Steckdose an.
