I've just read some older posts here about errors in the Clarke manuals, so I decided to check the one that came with the 180 EN I just bought and haven't hooked up yet. (Because I have yet to run a 230 VAC line for it, before someone asks...)
I think whoever wrote this thing has inhaled too many welding fumes, because it makes no sense. The workpiece thicknesses are in inches in strange, non-standard fractions, which appear to be conversion or typo errors, so I've converted them here to mm to make like easier.
0.6 mm Wire
0.4 mm: Min 1
0.4-0.8 mm: Min 2
0.8-1.2 mm: Max 1
1.2-1.6 mm: Min 3
1.6-2.4 mm: Max 2
2.4-6.4 mm: Max 3
0.8 mm Wire
0.4 mm: (not recommended)
0.4-0.8 mm: Min 2
0.8-1.2 mm: Min 3
1.2-1.6 mm: Max 1
1.6-2.4 mm: Max 2
2.4-6.4 mm: Max 3
This makes no sense at all that I can discern. For example, they recommend Max 1 as lower than Min 3 for 0.6 mm wire, but the opposite for 0.8 mm wire.
Is there somewhere that I can find a correct chart or at least the correct sequence (E.G., Min 1, Max 2, Min 2, Max 2, etc) for the 180 EN?
Thanks in advance...
