Job check
Outlet, breaker, metal, thickness, process. Pass means the sheet printed the number. Partial means a figure is missing or only partly covers the outlet.
Rules
- 230 V and 208-240 V count as the 240 V outlet. The result says when that mapping is used.
- A named breaker row is a pass only when the input current on that row also fits.
- Input amps with no breaker size: under the breaker is a warning, over it is a fail.
- Process has to be named. Aluminum on TIG needs the word aluminum on the page.
- Thickness uses a printed inch maximum. Gauge is not converted.
Does a 230 V rating count as a 240 V outlet?
Yes. 208-240 V, 230 V, and 240 V match the 240 V chip. 460 V and 575 V match neither chip. 110 V, 115 V, and 120 V match the 120 V chip.
Is input current the breaker size?
No. Input current at rated output is a draw. A draw above the breaker fails. A draw that fits, with no breaker size on the sheet, is a warning. A pass needs a breaker size the maker printed, such as the Handler 210i 15 A and 20 A rows.
What if thickness is a single-pass figure?
If the page says single pass and does not print a multi-pass maximum, a thicker job is a warning. If the page prints a maximum and does not call it single pass, a thicker job fails.
Why can aluminum fail on a TIG welder?
Aluminum passes only when the cited page names aluminum. DC TIG that does not name aluminum fails that metal.
