TRANSARC 130i
Due to large variations in performance and specifications of different brands and types of generators,
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 breakers
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.
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.
NOTE 5
CIGWELD reserves the right to change product performance and specifications without notice.
3.03 Environment
These units are designed for use in environments with increased hazard of electric shock as outlined in AS 60974.1
and AS 1674.2. Additional safety precautions may be required when using unit in an environment with increased
hazard of electric shock. Please refer to relevant local standards for further information prior to using in such areas.
A. In locations in which freedom of movement is restricted, so that the operator is forced to perform the work in
a cramped (kneeling, sitting or lying) position with physical contact with conductive parts.
B. In locations which are fully or partially limited by conductive elements, and in which there is a high risk of
unavoidable or accidental contact by the operator.
C. In wet or damp hot locations where humidity or perspiration considerably reduces the skin resistance of the
human body and the insulation properties of accessories.
Environments with increased hazard of electric shock do not include places where electrically conductive parts in
the near vicinity of the operator, which can cause increased hazard, have been insulated.
3.04 Location
Be sure to locate the welder according to the following guidelines:
• In areas, free from moisture and dust.
• Ambient temperature between -10°C to 40° C (14°F to 104° F).
• In areas, free from oil, steam and corrosive gases.
• In areas, not subjected to abnormal vibration or shock.
• In areas, not exposed to direct sunlight or rain.
• Place at a distance of 300mm (12”) or more from walls or similar that could restrict natural air flow for
cooling
• The enclosure design of this power source meets the requirements of IP23S as outlined in AS60529. This
provides adequate protection against solid objects (greater than 12mm), and direct protection from vertical
drops. Under no circumstances should the unit be operated or connected in a micro environment that will
exceed the stated conditions. For further information please refer to AS 60529.
• Precautions must be taken against the power source toppling over. The power source must be located on
a suitable horizontal surface in the upright position when in use.
