VRD safety device (optional)

General

VRD is an additional safety device that prevents, as far as possible, output voltages that
may pose a danger to persons.
VRD = Voltage Reduction Device.

Function

VRD is active
VRD is not active
NOTE!
Within 0.
3 seconds of the end of welding:
► VRD is active again
► The output voltage is limited to 14 V again
The welding circuit resistance is greater
than the minimum human body resistance
(greater than or equal to 200 Ohm):
- VRD is active
- Open circuit voltage is limited to 14 V
- The VRD indicator lights up
- Example: no risk ensues if both wel-
ding sockets are touched accidentally
at the same time.
The welding circuit resistance is less than
the minimum human body resistance (less
than 200 Ohm):
- VRD is inactive
- Output voltage not limited in order to
ensure sufficient welding power
- The VRD indicator does not light up
- Example: Start of welding
