CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR INPUT
CONNECTIONS
This welding machine must be connected to
power source in accordance with applicable elec-
trical codes.
The United States National Electrical Code (Article
630-B, 1990 Edition) provides standards for
amperage handling capability of supply conduc-
tors based on duty cycle of the welding source.
If there is any question about the installation
meeting applicable electrical code requirements,
consult a qualified electrician.
Requirements For Rated Output
A power cord with a 15 amp, 125 volt, three prong
plug (NEMA Type 5-15P) is factory installed on the
WELD-PAK 100. Connect this plug to a mating
grounded receptacle which is connected to a 20 amp
branch circuit with a nominal voltage rating of 115 to
125 volts, 60 Hertz, AC only.
The rated output with this installation is 88 amps, 18
Volts, 20% duty cycle (2 minutes of every 10 minutes
used for welding).
Do not connect the WELD-PAK 100 to an input
power supply with a rated voltage that is greater
than 125 volts.
Do not remove the power cord ground prong.
Requirements For CSA Rated Output
A line cord with a 15 amp, 125 volt, three-prong plug
(NEMA Type 5-15P) is factory installed. Connect this
plug to a mating grounded receptacle which is con-
nected to a 15 amp branch circuit with a nominal volt-
age rating of 115 volts to 125 volts, 60 hertz, AC only.
With this installation, the WELD-PAK 100 can be used
at an output of 62 amps, 20 volts, 20% duty cycle.
