Made-in-China AS6097 Portable Single Phase 220V DC Inverter Arc Welding
Machine
Specifications
- Designed and manufactured to conform to EC 60974 or AS 6097 standards
- Compliant with E4824: Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM)
Product Usage Instructions
Input Current, Cable, and Plug:
Ensure to use the correct input current, cable, and plug according to AS
60974-1 instructions provided in the operating manual.
Cable and Plug Inspection:
Regularly inspect cables and plugs for any signs of damage. Contact a
qualified electrician for advice or replacement if any damage is detected.
Machine Operation:
Understand the effective rated primary current (I1eff) of your machine to
determine the appropriate plug, input cable, and input current required for
safe operation.
Power Outlet and Circuit:
Ensure the input circuit is correctly rated to supply the required input
draw. Contact a qualified electrician if necessary to assess and upgrade the
power outlet and circuit to avoid risks of overheating or fire.
Regulatory Compliance:
Check for the Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) symbol before purchasing the
machine. Verify that your machine is compliant with the required standards.
USING INSTRUCTION
Use the correct
input current, cable and plug by AS 60974-1
Before operating your welding machine, follow the instructions in the
operating manual provided.
Inspect cables and plugs regularly.
Contact a qualified electrician for advice and/or upgrade and, if needed, to
replace any damaged plugs or cables.
- Don’t risk damage to your machine or cause tripping and/or fire by using the wrong input current, cable or plug.
- Don’t tamper with plugs or file down-earth pins. Doing so will void the warranty.
Welding Machines are designed and manufactured to conform
EC 60974 or AS 6097
This Standard not only covers the machine but also the input cable and plug
requirements including the size of the plug that should be used (formula in
clause 3.33).
EXAMPLE
If the I1eff rating on your machine is 27A then you must use a 32A plug as a 15A is undersised for the welding current being used and may cause the cable to overheat.
The I1eff determines the correct plug, input cable and input current required
for each machine.
It’s important
to understand input and output currents and to make sure that the input
circuit is correctly rated to supply the required input draw.
This allows the machine to operate at or near maximum output and protects the
circuit board from tripping, overheating and/or catching fire.
Your Machine
must be compliant with E4824: Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) and number.

Look for the I1eff
on the welding machine’s rating plate and ensure that you have the correct
input circuit to support this power draw.
Effective rated primary current (I1eff ) combines the conductor heating due to
these two levels of current. I1eff is the maximum rated effective supply
current that determines the minimum plug and input cable rating as well as the
minimum capacity of the input circuit that the machine gets plugged into to
safely operate the machine.
If you don’t have a suitable power outlet, you should contact a qualified
electrician to advise whether the wiring in your building will cater required
outlet.
You may also need to upgrade your circuit breakers and possibly switchboard to
suit. Failure to do this may cause an electrical fire in the building which
may void insurance.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What should I do if I don’t have a suitable power outlet?
- A: Contact a qualified electrician to assess and advise on necessary upgrades to the wiring, circuit breakers, and switchboard in your building to support the machine’s power requirements. Failure to do so may pose a fire hazard and void insurance.
