1 Recommended fuse or circuit breaker size is that closest to 150% of rated input amperage of the welding power source. Article 630-12(a) of NEC
allows fuse or circuit breaker sizing up to 200% of rated input amperage.
2 Input conductor size is for insulated copper wire with 75°C rating with not more than three single current-carrying conductors in a cable or raceway
(Table 310-16 of NEC).
3 Maximum length is to prevent more than a 3% voltage drop between service entrance and input terminals of the welding power source (Articles
210-19(a) and 215-2(b) of NEC).
