It was manufactured in conformity with a national standard that implements a harmonized standard: EN 60974-10 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Product Standard for Arc Welding Equipment. It is for use with other Lincoln Electric equipment. It is designed for industrial and professional use. Introduction All electrical equipment generates small amounts of electromagnetic emission.
  • Page 7 SAFETY Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) The size of the surrounding area to be considered will depend on the structure of the building and other activities that are taking place. The surrounding area may extend beyond the boundaries of the premises. Methods of Reducing Emissions Mains Supply Welding equipment should be connected to the mains supply according to the manufacturer’s recommenda- tions.

  • Page 16: Cable Inductance And Its Effects On Welding

    INSTALLATION CABLE INDUCTANCE AND ITS Depending upon the process, inductance within the EFFECTS ON WELDING electrode and work cables can influence the voltage apparent at the studs of the welder, and have a dra- matic effect on performance. Remote voltage sense leads are used to improve the accuracy of the arc volt- Excessive cable inductance will cause the welding age information supplied to the control pc board.
  • Page 17 INSTALLATION Electrode Voltage Sensing The remote ELECTRODE sense lead (67) is built into the 5-pin arclink control cable (K1543-xx) and is always connected to the wire drive feed plate when a wire feeder is present. Enabling or disabling electrode voltage sensing is application specific, and automati- cally configured by the active weld mode.
  • Page 18: Voltage Sensing Considerations For Multiple Arc Systems

    INSTALLATION VOLTAGE SENSING If Sense Leads ARE Used: CONSIDERATIONS FOR MULTIPLE ARC SYSTEMS • Position the sense leads out of the path of the weld current. Especially any current paths common to adjacent arcs. Current from adjacent arcs can induce voltage into each others current paths that Special care must be taken when more than one arc can be misinterpreted by the power sources, and is welding simultaneously on a single part.
  • Page 19 INSTALLATION A-10 A-10 • For circumferential applications, connect all work leads on one side of the weld joint, and all of the work voltage sense leads on the opposite side, such that they are out of the current path. (See Figure 8.A) FIGURE A.8 POWER SOURCE...

  • Page 27 OPERATION Most pulse welding programs are synergic. As the wire feed speed is adjusted, the POWER WAVE® S350CE will automatically recalculate the waveform parameters to maintain similar arc properties. The POWER WAVE® S350CE utilizes “adaptive con- trol” to compensate for changes in the electrical stick- out while welding.
