3. Precautions of electromagnetic compatibility

3.1. Overview
Welding brings electromagnetic interference.
Minimize the interference emission of arc welding equipment with proper installation
way and correct application method.
The products described in the manual belong to Class A equipment (all occasions
except residential area powered by public electrical power system).
Warning: Class A equipment is not applicable to residential area powered by public
electrical power system. It is difficult to guarantee electromagnetic compatibility because
of conduction and radiated interference.
3.2. Advice of environment assessment
Before installing the arc welding equipment, the user shall evaluate the potential
electromagnetic disturbance of the surrounding. The considerations are as follows:
 Check surrounding of arc welding equipment for other power cables, control cables,
signals and telephone wire.
 Check for broadcasting and television launching and receiving equipment;
 Check for computer and other controllers;
 Check for high security level equipment, such as industrial protective equipment;
 Consider the health of surrounding staffs, such as staffs with hearing aid and cardiac
pacemaker;
 Check for calibrating or detection equipment;
 Pay attention to immunity to interference of other equipment. The user shall make
sure that the surround equipment can be compatible. The additional protective

5
 measures may be required;
 Welding or other activity time.
The environmental range is decided based on the building structure and possible
activities. This range may exceed the boundary of building.
3.3.Method of reducing radiation emission
 Public power supply system
The arc welding equipment shall be connected into public power supply system with
the method recommended by the manufacturer. In case of interference, please take addition
preventive measures, such as connecting filter with public power supply system. Ensure to
consider power able shielding for fixed arc welding equipment. The power cables can be
shielded with the metal pipe or other equivalent methods. Ensure to keep electrical
continuity for shielding.
 Maintenance of arc welding equipment
Ensure to perform routine maintenance for arc welding equipment according to the
method recommended by the manufacturer. When welding equipment runs, all equipment
inlets, auxiliary doors and panels shall be closed and tightened appropriately. The arc
welding equipment cannot be changed in any form, unless the relevant change and
adjustment are allowed in the manual. The spark gap of arc initiation device and arc
stabilizing device shall be adjusted and serviced according to the suggestion of
manufacturer.
 Welding cable
The welding cable shall be short as much as possible and close to each other.
Moreover, welding cable shall be next to or close to ground cable.
 Equipotential lap
Pay attention to lapping of metal objects in the surrounding. The lapping of metal
objects and workpiece will increase job hazard. When the operator touches these metal
objects and electrode, he may suffer from electrical shock. The operator shall be insulated
from these metal objects.
 Workpiece earthing

6
 The workpiece may be not provided with earthing because of electrical safety or
workpiece position, such as hull or building steel frame. When earthing is available for
workpiece, radiation emission may be reduced.But it is not always the case. Therefore, we
must prevent the increased risk of electric shock of users caused by the workpiece earthing
or the damage of other electric equipment. When necessary, some workpiece should be
directly earthed, but directly grounding is not allowed in some countries, user can achieve
this effect only by selecting the appropriate capacitor according to the regulations of the
host countries.
 Shielding
The shielding of surrounding equipment and other cables can reduce the
electromagnetic interference. The whole welding area can be shielded for special
applications.

Welding machine precautions and maintenance

1.Safety points
The welding machine is quipped with overcurrent and overheat protection

18
 circuits.When the gird voltage,output current and internal temperature exceed the set
standard the welding machine will automatically stop working,but excessive use(such as
excessive voltage) will still lead to welding,The machine is damaged,so you still need to
pay attention to the following:
（1）Make sure the ventilation is good！
When the machine is in operation,a large working current passes,natural
ventilation can not meet the cooling requirements of the welder,so a fan is installed
to effectively cool the welder to make it work smoothly.The user should confirm that
the ventilation area is not covered or blocked,and the distance from the surrounding
objects should be no less than 0.3 meters.Users should always pay attention to
maintain good ventilation.which is very important for better working of the welding
machine and guaranteeing longer service life of.
（2）It is forbidden to overload！
The user should pay attention to the use of the welder according to the allowable load
duration of the welder(refer to the welder nameplate parameters) to keep the welding
current not exceeding the maximum allowable load current Current overload will
significantly shorten the life of the welder and may even burn the welder.Load
continuation rate:that is the current welding time under the load continuation rate,10
minutes is a cycle,working time+rest time=10 minutes;For example,30%,200 A/28 V,that
is the output current 200 A state,should work for 3 minutes.Rest for 7 minutes;60%,141
A/25.6 V,in the state of output current 141 A,should work for 5 minutes,rest for 4 minutes.
Current overload will significantly shorten the life of the welder
（3）Forbidden voltage too high!
The power supply voltage is listed in the "main performance parameters"
table. In general, the automatic voltage compensation circuit in the welding machine will
ensure that the welding current remains within the allowable range. If the power supply
voltage exceeds the allowable value, it will damage the welder. The user should fully
understand this situation and take corresponding preventive measures。
（4）It is forbidden to use the welding machine for thawing pipes。
（ 5 ） The back of each welding machine is attached with a ground screw, and
marked with a ground mark. Before use, select a cable with a section greater than
2.5mm2 and ground the welding machine shell reliably to release static electricity
or prevent accidents that may occur due to electricity leakage.
（ 6 ） If the welding machine exceeds the standard load duration, the welding
machine may suddenly enter the protection state and stop working, which means
that the welding machine exceeds the standard load duration. If the temperature is
too high, the temperature control switch will be triggered and the welding machine
will stop working. Meanwhile, the yellow indicator light on the front panel will be

19
 on. In this case, you do not need to unplug the power supply so that the cooling fan
can continue working to cool the welder. When the yellow indicator light is off, the
temperature drops to the standard range and the welding can be resumed.
2．Maintenance
Warning：
！ All maintenance, service and cleaning work must be performed with power removed.
Make sure you have unplugged the power cord before opening the casing.
1. Dedust regularly. Use dry, clean compressed air to clean up the system. Dedust
every day when operating in smoky conditions or severely polluted air.
2. The compressed air should be delivered at the required pressure to avoid the
destruction of the internal components.
3. Check the internal contact areas to insure a tight connection (especially the plug-in
joints or components) and reinforce the loose contact. If any rusting or oxidation
occurs, use sandpaper to remove the oxide film and reconnect.
4. Avoid water and moisture penetration. If this situation happens, apply a drying
treatment to the inside of the welder and then start a megger insulation test which
should include the insulation between connection joints as well as joints and
casing. The welding operation could be continued only if no error detected.
5. If the welder is not used for a long period of time, seal it in the original packaging
and store in dry condition.
Before maintenance
Warning：
！ Blind experiments and imprudent overhaul could lead to the expansion of failure,and
difficulty for a formal maintenance.Electronic equipment in the state of the exposed part of
a voltage can lead to dangers.any direct or indirect contacts may lead to electric shocks
incidents,and serious electric shock will cause death!!!

Attention ：During the warranty period, if not allowed by this Company, if there is any
wrong maintenance to any fault of the welding power source, the suppliers will not provide
free repairs.
