Welders in Mines
(OP)
Hello all...
This one goes out to all you mine power systems....
Typically, we install welding feeders with crouse hinds welding receptacles. The circuit consists of a Series C 60A breaker and a startco gfgc relay (GC not used) feeding the Crouse Hinds receptacle enclosure made up of a fused disconnect and receptacle. All of this is usually installed on a central unit (not running cables anywhere... well except to the welder...).
Is this mandatory, or can we get rid of the fused disconnect and just have the breaker/relay feed the receptacle?
Regards,
TULUM
