COMPATIBILITY (EMC)

  

CONFORMANCE

Products displaying the CE mark are in conformity with European Community 

Council Directive of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of the laws of the 

Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility (2014/30/UE). It 

was manufactured in conformity with a national standard that implements a 

harmonized standard: EN 60974-10
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Product  Standard  for Arc Welding 

Equipment. It is for use with other Lincoln Electric equipment. It is designed 
for industrial and professional use.

INTRODUCTION

All electrical equipment generates small amounts of electromagnetic 
emission. Electrical emission may be transmitted through power lines or 
radiated through space, similar to a radio transmitter. When emissions are 
received by other equipment, electrical interference may result. Electrical 
emissions may affect many kinds of electrical equipment; other nearby 
welding equipment, radio and TV reception, numerical controlled machines, 
telephone systems, computers, etc. Be aware that interference may result 
and extra precautions may be required when a welding power source is used 
in a domestic establishment.

INSTALLATION AND USE

The user is responsible for installing and using the welding equipment 
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If electromagnetic disturbances 
are detected then it shall be the responsibility of the user of the welding 
equipment to resolve the situation with the technical assistance of the 
manufacturer. In some cases this remedial action may be as simple as 
earthing (grounding) the welding circuit, see Note. In other cases it could 
involve construction of an electromagnetic screen enclosing the power source 
and the work complete with associated input filters. In all cases electro-
magnetic disturbances must be reduced to the point where they are no longer 
troublesome. 

 

Note: The welding circuit may or may not be earthed for safety reasons according to national codes.  
Changing the earthing arrangements should only be authorized by a person who is competent to 
access whether the changes will increase the risk of injury, e.g., by allowing parallel welding current 
return paths which may damage the earth circuits of other equipment.

ASSESSMENT OF AREA

Before installing welding equipment, the user shall make an assessment of 
potential electromagnetic problems in the surrounding area. The following 
shall be taken into account:
a

.  Other supply cables, control cables, signaling and telephone cables; above, below 

and adjacent to the welding equipment;

b. radio and television transmitters and receivers;
c. computer and other control equipment;
d. safety critical equipment, e.g., guarding of industrial equipment;
e. the health of the people around, e.g., the use of pacemakers and hearing aids;
f. equipment used for calibration or measurement and
g.  the immunity of other equipment in the environment. The user shall ensure that other 

equipment being used in the environment is compatible. This may require additional 

protection measures including:

h. the time of day that welding or other activities are to be carried out.

 
The size of the surrounding area to be considered will depend on the 
structure of the building and other activities that are taking place. The 
surrounding area may extend beyond the boundaries of the premises.

METHODS OF REDUCING EMISSIONS

Mains Supply

Welding equipment should be connected to the mains supply according 
to the manufacturer’s recommendations. If interference occurs, it may be 
necessary to take additional precautions such as filtering of the mains supply. 
Consideration should be given to shielding the supply cable of permanently 
installed welding equipment, in metallic conduit or equivalent. Shielding 
should be electrically continuous throughout its length. The shielding should 
be connected to the welding power source so that good electrical contact is 
maintained between the conduit and the welding power source enclosure.

Maintenance of the Welding Equipment

The welding equipment should be routinely maintained according to the 
manufacturer’s recommendations. All access and service doors and covers 
should be closed and properly fastened when the welding equipment is in 
operation. The welding equipment should not be modified in any way except 
for those changes and adjustments covered in the manufacturers instructions. 
In particular, the spark gaps of arc striking and stabilizing devices should be 
adjusted and maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Welding Cables

The welding cables should be kept as short as possible and should be 
positioned close together, running at or close to floor level.

Equipotential Bonding

Bonding of all metallic components in the welding installation and adjacent 
to it should be considered. However, metallic components bonded to the 
work piece will increase the risk that the operator could receive a shock by 
touching these metallic components and the electrode at the same time. The 
operator should be insulated from all such bonded metallic components.

Earthing of the Workpiece

Where the workpiece is not bonded to earth for electrical safety, not 
connected to earth because of its size and position, e.g., ships hull or 
building steelwork, a connection bonding the workpiece to earth may reduce 
emissions in some, but not all instances. Care should be taken to prevent the 
earthing of the work piece increasing the risk of injury to users, or damage to 
other electrical equipment. Where necessary, the connection of the workpiece 
to earth should be made by a direct connection to the work piece, but in some 
countries where direct connection is not permitted, the bonding should be 
achieved by suitable capacitance, selected according to national regulations.

Screening and Shielding

Selective screening and shielding of other cables and equipment in the 
surrounding area may alleviate problems of interference. Screening of the 
entire welding installation may be considered for special applications.
