Electromagnetic Compatibility - Thermal Arc Fabricator 211i Operating Manual

FABRICATOR 211i
50/60 Hz Primary Supply
Single Phase Lead Size
Yes 2.5mm²
Yes 2.5mm²
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill; SIGNIFICANT DC VOLTAGE is present after removal of input power. DO
NOT TOUCH live electrical parts.
SHUT DOWN welding power source, disconnect input power employing lockout/tagging procedures. Lock-out/
tagging procedures consist of padlocking line disconnect switch in open position, removing fuses from fuse box,
or shutting OFF and red-tagging circuit breaker or other disconnecting device.
Electrical Input Requirements
Operate the welding power source from a single-phase 50/60 Hz, AC power source. The Welding Power Source
must be:
• Correctly installed, if necessary, by a qualified electrician.
• Correctly earthed (electrically) in accordance with local regulations.
• Connected to the correct size power point, fuse and primary supply lead based on Table 3-1.
Any electrical work must be carried out by a qualified Electrical Tradesperson.

3.05 Electromagnetic Compatibility

Extra precautions for Electromagnetic Compatibility may be required when this Welding Power Source
is used in a domestic situation.
A. Installation and Use - Users Responsibility
The user is responsible for installing and using the welding equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions.
If electromagnetic disturbances are detected then it shall be the responsibility of the user of the welding equip-
ment to resolve the situation with the technical assistance of the manufacturer. In some cases this remedial action
may be as simple as earthing the welding circuit, see NOTE below. In other cases it could involve constructing an
electromagnetic screen enclosing the Welding Power Source and the work, complete with associated input filters.
In all cases, electromagnetic disturbances shall be reduced to the point where they are no longer Troublesome.
The welding circuit may or may not be earthed for safety reasons. Changing the earthing arrangements
should only be authorized by a person who is competent to assess whether the changes will increase
the risk of injury, e.g. by allowing parallel welding current return paths which may damage the earth
circuits of other equipment.
