TIG cold-wire feeder
Atmospheric charging between the welding device and cold wire feeder system can be prevented by a potential equalisation
cable
. The corresponding connection cable is included in the scope of delivery for new devices. For devices that are
already in use, this connection cable is available as a spare part and can be retrofitted at any time.
The assembly of the potential equalisation cable
is described in the assembly instruction (BEI.0256.0).
The wire spool seat with a brake is used to hold standardised welding wire spools with a maximum weight of 16 kg and a
maximum diameter of 300 mm.
