10.3 Generator compatibility
Important notes for the usage together with generators!
•
AUSTRALIA: Ensure that the generator is regularly inspected, tested and tagged by a
licensed electrician or other competent person in accordance with workplace health and
safety legislation and national Standards.
•
The generator must be grounded!
•
The outlet which the electrofusion control unit is used together with must have a
protective earthing conductor!
•
It is very important that there is a Protective Earthing (PE) conductor which is
continuous (i.e. <0.5 Ohms) from the earth terminal of the generator to the earth terminal
of the plug on the flexible supply cord of the electrofusion control unit. If the protective
earthing conductor is interrupted or becomes higher in resistance, there is a risk of
electric shock. For this reason, always ensure that only extension cords of the approved
type are used. Ensure that the electrofusion control unit, all accessories and extension
cords are regularly inspected, tested and tagged by a licensed electrician or other
competent person.
•
First start the generator, then plug in the electrofusion control unit.
•
No other machine or device must be connected to the generator.
•
400 V devices: The open circuit voltage should be set between 415 V and 430 V.
•
Unplug the mains supply cable of the electrofusion control unit before turning the generator off.
•
The usable generator power will decrease by 10 % per 1000 m of height above sea level.
•
Check the fuel level before starting the welding process.
•
The instruction manual of the generator as well as its operating instructions are part of
this instruction manual. Always read them carefully!
The electrofusion control units of type Monomatic, Monomatic (Bluetooth), Monomatic Data USB and
Monomatic Data USB (Bluetooth) provide the following features to increase the generator suitability:
•
High tolerance for the input voltage
o
190 V to 300 V at 230 V nominal
o
90 V to 150 V at 110 V nominal
•
High tolerance for the input frequency
o
40 Hz to 70 Hz
•
Display of current input voltage and frequency.
•
Soft-Start for limitation of the generator load.
Despite these characteristics, the used generators must meet the following requirements and
recommendations, in order to avoid damage to the electrofusion control unit. This ensures that the internal
monitoring functions of the control unit do not interrupt the welding process:
•
Suitable for phase-angle control
•
230 V:
o
No-load voltage adjustable between 240 V and 260 V
o
Output current of 18 A on one phase
•
110 V:
o
No-load voltage adjustable to 120 V – 130 V
o
Output current of 36 A on one phase
•
Stable output voltage and engine RPM even with rapidly changing load
•
Synchronous generators with mechanical RPM control preferred
•
Voltage peaks must not exceed 800 V
