120-160/120-160 AMPS/58-75 VOLTS
•k Designed for operation on 208/ 220V 50/60 cycle, three phase A.C.
-k Two independent stack assemblies, one for each output.
ic "Lo-Strike"* feature associated with each output protects stacks from overload and prevents destruction of carbon crater upon striking the arc.
•A Exclusive automatic reset* permits immediate restriking if arc is not established the first time.
ic A choke in the D.C. output circuit makes for quiet operation and holds ripple to less than 3%.
-k Down-draft fan cooled. No foreign matter can be drawn into the equipment.
