Translation of the original instructions
e. Earthing of the welded part : When the part is not earthed because for electrical safety reasons or because
of its size and its location (which is the case with ship hulls or metallic building structures), the earthing of
the part can, in some cases but not systematically, reduce emissions. It is preferable to avoid the earthing of
parts that could increase the risk of injury to the users or damage other electrical equipments. If necessary,
it is appropriate that the earthing of the part is done directly, but in some countries that do not allow such a
direct connection, it is appropriate that the connection is made with a capacitor selected according to national
regulations.
f. Protection and plating : The selective protection and plating of other cables and devices in the area can
reduce perturbation issues. The protection of the entire welding area can be considered for specific situations.
