2.0 ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)

This device is built in compliance with the indications contained
in the harmonized standard EN60974-10, to which the opera-
tor must refer for the use of this apparatus.
- lnstall and use the apparatus keeping to the instructions
given in this manual.
- This device must be used for professional applications
only, in industrial environments It is important to remem-
ber that it may be difficult to ensure the electromagnetic
compatibility in other environments.

2.1 Installation, use and area examination

- The user must be an expert in the sector and as such is
responsible for installation and use of the equipment accor-
ding to the manufacturer's instructions. lf any electromagnetic
disturbance is noticed, the user must soave the problem, if
necessary with the manufacturer's technical assistance.
- In any case electromagnetic disturbances must be reduced
until they are not a nuisance any longer.
- Before installing this apparatus, the user must evaluate the
potential electromagnetic problems that may arise in the
surrounding area, considering in particular the health con-
ditions of the persons in the vicinity, for example of per-
sons fitted with pacemakers or hearing aids.

2.2 Emission reduction methods

MAINS POWER SUPPLY
- The welding power source must be connected to the
supply mains according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In case of interference, it may be necessary to take further pre-
cautions like the filtering of the mains power supply.
lt is also necessary to consider the possibility to shield the power
supply cable.
WELDING POWER SOURCE MAINTENANCE
The welding power source needs routine maintenance accor-
ding to the manufacturer's instructions.
When the equipment is working, all the access and operating
doors and covers must be closed and fixed.
The welding power source must not be modified in any way.

3.0 RISK ANALYSIS

Risks posed by the machine
Risk of wrong installation.
Electrical risks.
Risks connected with electromagnetic disturbances produ-
ced by the welding power source and induced on the wel-
ding power source.
WARNING
WELDING AND CUTTING CABLES
The welding (cutting) cables must be kept as short as possible,
positioned near one another and laid at or approximately at
ground level.
EQUIPOTENTIAL CONNECTION
The earth connection of all the metal componente in the wel-
ding (cutting) installation and near it must be taken in conside-
ration.
However, the metal componente connected to the work-piece
will increase the risk of electric shock for the operator, if he tou-
ches said metal componente and the electrode at the same
time.
Therefore, the operator must be insulated from all the earthed
metal componente.
The equipotential connection must be made according to the
national regulations.
EARTHING THE WORKPIECE
When the workpiece is not earthed for electrical safety reasons
or due to its size and position, the earthing of the workpiece
may reduce the emissione. It is important to remember that the
earthing of the workpiece should neither increase the risk of
accidents for the operators, nor damage other electric equip-
ment.
The earthing must be made according to the national regula-
tions.
SHIELDING
The selective shielding of other cables and equipment present
in the surrounding area may reduce the problems due to inter-
ference. The shielding of the entire welding (cutting) installation
can be taken in consideration for special applications.
Solutions adopted to pervent them
A manual with the instructions for use has been pro-
duced for this purpose.
Application of the EN 60974-1 Standard.
Application of the EN 60974-10 Standard.
