2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2.1.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! Electrical installation of the plasma cutting unit must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Make sure that
power supply cable is correctly connected to earth. It is the owner’s responsibility to read, understand and comply with the
following:
You must check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe before using. You must inspect power supply
leads, plugs and all electrical connections for wear and damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the
installation of appropriate safety devices. An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution
board. We also recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products. It is particularly important to
use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB. If in 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 all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, to be 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 the appliance
and the safety of the appliance operator.
If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
2.1.3.
Ensure that the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the mains power supply. See 2.1.1. & 2.1.2.
above 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, leads, plugs and all electrical connections for wear or
damage and check power connections, to ensure that none is loose.
2.1.6.
Important:
Ensure that the voltage marked on the product is the same as the power supply
to be used and that the supply is adequately protected. See Supply Fuse, Section 1.
2.1.7.
DO NOT
pull or carry the cutter by the power supply lead or the output cables.
2.1.8.
DO NOT
pull plugs from sockets by the cable.
2.1.9.
DO NOT
use worn or damaged leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace or have repaired by a qualified electrician.
2.1.10.
This product will require more than a 13Amp electrical supply, so a plug is not fitted, it is a single phase machine and must be run
from a minimum 16Amp supply. To achieve maximum output this model will require a 30Amp fused supply. 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.
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). To avoid this happening 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.
