3. ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
WARNING!
This Class A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where the electrical
power is provided by the public low-voltage supply system. There can be potential difficulties
in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in those locations due to conducted as well radiated
radio-frequency disturbances.
3.1
GENERAL INFORMATIONS
The user is responsible for installing and using the arc welding equipment according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. If electromagnetic disturbances are detected, then it shall be the
responsibility of the user of the arc welding equipment to resolve the situation with the tech-
nical assistance of the manufacturer. In some cases this remedial action may be as simple as
earthing the welding circuit. In other cases, it could involve constructing an electromagnetic
screen enclosing the welding power source and the work complete with associated input fil-
ters. In all cases electromagnetic disturbances shall be reduced to the point where they are no
longer troublesome.
Welding and plasma cutting processes may emit additional interferences. User is
responsibility for the interferences caused by welding and plasma cutting.
3.2 ASSESMENT OF AREA
Before installing arc welding equipment, the user shall make an assessment of potential elec-
tromagnetic interferences in the surrounding area. The following shall be taken into account:
a) other supply cables, control cables, signaling and telephone cables, above, below and adja-
cent to the arc welding equipment,
b) radio and television transmitters and receivers,
c) computer and other control equipment,
d) safety critical equipment, for example guarding of industrial equipment,
e) the health of the people around, for example the use of pacemakers and hearing aids,
f) equipment used for calibration or measurement,
g) the immunity of other equipment in the environment. The user shall ensure that other equi-
pment being used in the environment is compatible. This may require additional protection
measures.
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 boun-
daries of the premises.
3.3 METHODS OF REDUCING EMMISIONS
Methods of reducing electromagnetic interference are listed in detail in the standard
EN 60974-9 „Arc welding equipment – Part 9: Installation and use”.
