I. General
This supplement covers the HELIARC 350 Power Source
designed for 220/380//415 Volt—50 Hertz service. It is
identical to the Heliarc 350 units covered in Form 14447 except for the following:
IMPORTANT
As shipped from the factory, all units are hookedup to operate from a 415 volt input. If your input
requirements do not match the factory-shipped provisions, the following data should be heeded:
— You must change the input terminal board (TB) volt-
age links to match your actual primary input voltage
— as described in Section II-C of this insert.
A. Replacement Parts:
Main Transformer (MTR) - P/N 30163 replaces
P/N 30577.
Terminal Board Assy. (TB) - P/N 30166 replaces
P/N 680047.
II. Form 14-447 is applicable to this unit ex-
cept as follows;

C. Primary V olt age Changeover Connections
As mentioned previously, the primary windings of
the main transformer are factory connected for 415
volt operation. These connections are made by using reconnectable links on the voltage changeover
terminal board for the main transformer. This unit’s
terminal board (illustrated following) is silkscreened
to show the available primary voltage connections
which can be used.
