2.1. 

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

   

WARNING!

 It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:

 

You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and  

 

any other connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of  

 

 

appropriate safety devices. A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We    

 

also recommend that a Residual Current Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that  

 

are plugged into a supply which is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a  

 

 

Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer. 

 

You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.

2.1.1. 

The Electricity at Work Act 1989

 requires that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are tested by a    

 

qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.

2.1.2. 

The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974

 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those  

 

 

appliances and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.

2.1.3. 

Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 2.1.1. and 2.1.2.  

 

and use a Portable Appliance Tester.

2.1.4. 

Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.

2.1.5. 

Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that none are loose.

2.1.6. 

Important: 

Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply to be  

 

used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see rating at right.

2.1.7. 

DO NOT

 pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.

2.1.8. 

DO NO

T pull the plug from the socket by the cable.

2.1.9. 

DO NOT

 use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Have any faulty item repaired  

 

or replaced by a qualified electrician. 

2.1.10.  This product will require more than a 13Amp electrical supply for full performance, so a plug  

 

is not fitted. It is a single phase machine and must be run from a 32Amp supply for full performance.  We recommend you discuss the  

 

installation of an industrial round pin plug and socket with a qualified electrician.

 

Fit a plug according to the following instructions (UK only).

 

a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.

 

b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.

 

c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.

 

d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer insulation  

 

 

    extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.  

 

Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol 

    ,

 are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only.  

 

To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above. 

DO NOT

 connect either wire to the earth terminal.

  

WARNING!

 Reminder, the electrical installation of the plasma cutting unit must only be carried out by a qualified electrician. 

  

WARNING!

 Be very cautious if using a generator to power the inverter. The generator must be self regulating and stable with regard  

 

to voltage, waveform and frequency. The output must be greater than the power consumption of the inverter. If any of these  

 

requirements is not met the electronics within the inverter may be affected.

NOTE:

   The use of an unregulated generator may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

   

WARNING!

 The inverter may produce voltage surges in the mains supply which can damage other sensitive equipment  

 

(e.g. computers). It is recommended that the inverter is connected to a power supply that does not feed any sensitive equipment.

2.1.11.  If an extension reel is used it should be as short as possible and fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is  

 

 

preferred since any appliance plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm²,   

 

but to be absolutely sure that the capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output  

 

sockets, we recommend the use of 2.5mm² section cable.
