Electric Shocks
WARNING!
Electrical shocks can result in personal injury or loss
of life.
To avoid the risk of an electric shock,
DO NOT
:
•
open
the equipment covers during operation
•
cut or damage
the HF cable to the HHT
•
touch
the induction coil or coil adapter terminals after the power is turned on
•
open
the equipment covers during service without retracting the mains plug in
order to isolate the equipment from the main power supply.
WARNING!
Always retract the main-power plug before opening
the main fuse box.
2.3
Heated Objects
WARNING!
Heated objects can cause fire or burns.
The principle of induction heating is based on an alternating current flowing through
a coil and thereby generating a magnetic field that varies in magnitude with the
current. If an electrically conductive material is placed inside the coil, eddy currents
will be induced in the material. Due to the resistance of the material, heat is
developed in the region of the material through which the eddy currents flow.
Induction heating equipment can heat electrically conductive materials to a very high
temperature in a short time.
To prevent the danger of fire or burns,
DO NOT
:
•
come in direct contact
with heated objects before they have cooled
•
wear or have
metal objects about your body while operating, maintaining or
being in the presence of the inductance equipment when it is in use
•
use or keep
any combustible materials near the work area or heated objects.
