Power requirements Part 1
General
•
The points below describe the power requirements for the use of the
isoweld
induction machine. These notes are recommendations.
®
Each job site and its power situation is individual and therefore no
performance guarantee can be given.
•
In addition to the recommendations stated in this document, the local
safety and electrical regulations applicable in the country of use must be
observed.
•
Consultation of a qualified electrician is advisable.
Electrical safety
•
Connect the machine to a socket with a protective ground conductor
Any breakage/disconnection of the protective conductor inside or
outside the tool is potentially dangerous! Use only extension
cables with an ground conductor!
•
When the tool is used on building sites, the use of an RCD switch is a
mandatory requirement for personal protection.
Power supply
•
Stable power is essential for problem-free operation of the induction
machine.
•
A minimum of
- 20 amps per electrical circuit required for countries with 110 volts /
120 volts nominal voltage
- 10 amps per electrical circuit required for countries with 230 volts
nominal voltage
•
Maximum one induction machine per circuit, with a recommendation
not to use other devices on the same circuit as the isoweld
isoweld
Backpack.
®
•
Off-load voltage shall not exceed:
- 160 volts for countries with 110 volts / 120 volts nominal voltage
- 240 volts for countries with 230 volts nominal voltage
•
On-load voltage at the point of utilization at the machine terminals, with
the machine running, must be higher than:
- 110 volts for countries with 110 volts / 120 volts nominal voltage
- 200 volts for countries with 230 volts nominal voltage
•
It is preferable for the induction machine to have its own dedicated
power supply so as to avoid power surges from other equipment, e.g.
drill machines.
Generator
•
Use a minimum 5000 watt generator
•
Requirements volts and amps see above
•
With ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
•
Grounding / earthing required
Transformer
•
Necessary for use in countries with a nominal voltage of 110 volts if the
voltage at the point of utilization, with the machine running, falls below
110 volts.
•
The functionality of the system is only ensured if the transformer
provided by SFS is used.
