3.12 Pilot Resistor Adjustment

WARNING

Disconnect primary power at the source before as-
sembling or disassembling power supply, torch
parts, or torch and leads assemblies.

This Sub-Section applies only to the following Slave
Power Supplies:

• Slave Power Supplies with the revision letter 'E' or

later on the data tag

• Slave Power Supplies that have been retrofitted with

Pilot Resistors

Slave Power Supplies, as noted above, and all Master
Power Supplies contain adjustable pilot resistor circuits.
For output current below 250A, only the pilot circuit in
the Master Power Supply is activated. For output cur-
rent above 250A the Master and Slave Power Supply pi-
lot circuits are activated.

Slave and Master Supply pilot resistors are initially set at
the factory and may need to be adjusted to the customer's
input power (see Notes).
