Y Significant DC voltage can remain
on capacitor after unit is Off. Always
check capacitor as shown to be
sure it has discharged before work-
ing on unit.
Y Turn Off welding power
source, disconnect input
power, and check voltage on
input capacitor according to
Section 5-3
proceeding.
Have only qualified persons carry
out this procedure.
Remove wrapper.
1 Input Terminal Block
2 Input Conductors
3 Grounding Conductor
Disconnect input conductors and
grounding conductor from input ter-
minal block.
4 Strain Relief Connector
Loosen strain relief connector and
remove existing power cord.
Y Be sure conductor rating of
new cord complies with na-
tional, state, and local elec-
trical codes.
Strip 3/8 in (10 mm) insulation off all
conductors.
Insert conductors through strain
relief.
5 Line Terminals
6 Ground Terminal
Connect grounding conductor to
ground terminal first.
Connect input conductors to line
terminals. Terminals are identified
L1, L2, or L3 on terminal block.
Reinstall wrapper.

Turn Off welding power source and
disconnect input power.
Remove wrapper.
1 Input Capacitor C1
2 Voltmeter
Check input capacitor as shown.
Measure dc voltage across positive
(+) and negative (–) terminals until
voltage drops to near 0 (zero) volts.
