Abstract
A power cord assembly for a welding-type power supply includes a power cord and a plurality of adaptors. The power cord is adapted for attachment to the welding-type power supply and is capable of providing any of a plurality of input voltage signals to the welding-type power supply via the plurality of adaptors.
Claims28
A welding-type apparatus comprising:
- a power cord capable of providing a plurality of input voltage signals wherein the power cord is configured to interface with a first adaptor configured to receive a first input voltage signal from the plurality of input voltage signals and a second adaptor configured to receive a second input voltage signal from the plurality of input voltage signals different from the first input voltage signal;
- and
- a welding-type power supply attached to the power cord to receive any of the plurality of input voltage signals from the power cord.
A welding-type apparatus comprising:
- a power cord having a first end and a second end wherein the power cord includes means for receiving a plurality of input voltage signals at the first end and further wherein the power cord is configured to provide any of the plurality of input voltage signals at the second end;
- and
- a welding-type power supply attached to the second end to receive any of the plurality of input voltage signals from the power cord.
A power cord for a welding-type power supply comprising:
- a first end configured for attachment to the welding-type power supply;
- a second end configured to interface with a first adaptor configured to receive a first input voltage signal and a second adaptor configured to receive a second input voltage signal different from the first input voltage signal;
- and
- wherein the second end is configured to removably mate with the first and second adaptors such that the first and second adaptors are removably attached to the power cord.
A power cord for welding-type power supply comprising:
- a first end configured for attachment to the welding-type power supply;
- means for receiving a plurality of input voltage signals at a second end of the power cord;
- and
- removable means for interchanging the means for receiving a plurality of input voltage signals at the second end of the power cord.
An adaptor for use with a welding-type power supply power cord comprising;
- a first end having a non-standard electrical interface configured to mate with the power cord;
- a second end having a standard electrical interface configured to receive one of a plurality of input voltage signals;
- and
- wherein the adaptor is configured to removably mate with the power cord such that the adaptor is removably attached to the power cord.
A welding-type apparatus kit comprising:
- a power cord configured for attachment to a welding-type power supply;
- a first adaptor configured to mate with the power cord wherein the first adaptor is further configured to receive a first input voltage signal;
- and
- a second adaptor configured to mate with the power cord wherein the second adaptor is further configured to receive a second input voltage signal different from the first input voltage signal.
