RECOMMENDATION TO REDUCE ELECTRO-MAGNETIC EMISSIONS
General
The user is responsible for installing and using the arc welding equipment according to the manufacturer's
instructions. If electromagnetic disturbances are detected, then it shall be the responsibility of the user of the arc
welding equipment to resolve the situation with the technical assistance of the manufacturer.
Evaluation of the welding area
Before installing arc welding equipment the user shall make an assessment of potential electromagnetic problems in
the surrounding area
a. Other wiring, control cables, tephones and communication cables; above, below and adjacent to the
welding machine
b. Radio and television transmitters and receivers;
c. Computer and other control equipment;
d. Equipment critical for safety purposes such as safety checks of industrial equipment;
e. The health of persons in the vincity, for example persons who wear pacemakers and hearing aids;
f. Equipment used for calibration or measurements;
g. The immunity of other equipment in which the equipment is to be used. The user must ensure that other
equipment used in the same placet is compatible. This may require additional protection measures;
h. The time of day when welding or other activities are carried out
i. The size of the area to be considered will depend on the structure of the building and any other
processes in the area. The surrounding area may extend beyond the boundaries of the buildings.
Recommendation to reduce electro-magnetic emission
Mains power supply: the equipment must be connected to the power mains as specified in the
a.
Manufacturer's instructions. If interference occurs, additional precautions suchas filtering of the mains
supply may be required. The supply cable in the welding machine's permanent installations may have to
be screened in metal conduits or similar.The screening should be electrically continous for the entire
lengh of the cable. It should also beconnect to the welding machine with a good electrical contact
between the metal conduit and the casing.
Welding cables: The welding cables should be kept as short as possible and should be positioned close
b.
together, running at or close to the floor level.
Protection and reinforcement: Selective screening and shielding of other cables and equipment in the
c.
surrounding area may alleviate problems of interference. Screening of the entire welding area may be
considered for special applications
Connect the earth directly to the metal piece to be welded: Where necessary, the connection of
d.
the workpiece to earth should be made by a direct connection to the workpiece, but in some countries
where direct connection is not permitted, the bonding should be achieved by suitable capacitance,
selected according to national regulations.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Anomalies
The welding unit do not supply
current.
The two visual indicators are switched
on.
The green indicator is on but you
cannot weld.
If, when the unit is on and you put
your hand on the welding unit's body,
you feel tingling sensation.
Your unit does not weld correctly.
Causes
The thermal protection of the
welding unit is on.
Connection failure of the earth
clamp or electrode holder.
The welding unit is not correctly
connected to the earth.
Polarity error.
Remedies
Wait until the end of the cooling
phase.
Check the connections.
Check the plug and the earth of
your electrical network.
Check the polarity advised on the
electrode packaging.
