Nameplate) for an industrial welding machine produced by Carl Cloos Schweisstechnik GmbH, a well-known German company specializing in welding technology. The plate contains important electrical and operational specifications for the device. Here is a breakdown of the most prominent data written on it: Basic Device Data Machine Type: GLC 503 QUINTO. Country of Manufacture: Federal Republic of Germany (Bundesrepublik Deutschland). Technical Standard: EN 60 974-1 (European standard for the safety of arc welding equipment). Performance and Voltage Specifications (Operating Table) Welding Current Range: Starts from 40 Amps / 12 Volts and goes up to 500 Amps / 47 Volts. Duty Cycle (X): - When operating at 60% capacity, it can output 500 Amps and 39 Volts. - When operating at 100% capacity (continuous operation without interruption), it can output 400 Amps and 34 Volts. Open Circuit Voltage (U0): 70 Volts (this is the voltage before the actual welding process begins). Power and Electrical Requirements (U1) The machine operates on a three-phase alternating current (3~) with a frequency of 50 Hz. It can be connected to an input voltage of either 230 Volts or 400 Volts. Required Fuses: Requires a 50 Amp fuse when operating at 230 Volts, and a 35 Amp fuse when operating at 400 Volts. Apparent Power (S1): Consumes 21 kVA at maximum performance, and 14.5 kVA at continuous operation. Protection and Insulation Information Protection Type (Schutzart): IP 21 (meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm and against vertically falling water droplets). Cooling Type (Kühlart): F (forced air/fan cooling). Insulation Class (Isol.-Kl.): F (withstands high temperatures up to 155°C for internal windings). If you plan to operate or maintain this machine, I would be happy to help you determine the appropriate plug type or clarify the welding type (MIG/MAG or TIG) compatible with these specifications.
