(1) Safety Precautions
Before using, read “Safety
Precautions” carefully to
understand the correct method
of use.
・These precautions are shown for safe
use of our products and for prevention
of damage or injury to operators or
others. Be sure to read each of them,
since all of them are important for
safety.
・The meaning of the words and symbols
is as follows:
Do not touch the “Terminal block” on the rear panel of the
Transformer.
Since very high voltage is applied to the “Terminal block”, it is very dangerous
to touch it unnecessarily. When connecting or disconnecting a cable, be sure
to turn off the power.
After connecting the cable, install the terminal cover so that operator can not
touch the terminal block during work.
Never disassemble, repair or modify the Transformer.
These actions can cause electric shock and fire. Consult your distributor or us
for repair and maintenance.
Never burn, destroy, cut, crush or chemically decompose the
Transformer.
This product incorporates parts containing gallium arsenide (GaAs).

1. Special Precautions
1-2
Do not put your hands between the electrodes.
When welding, keep your fingers and hands away from the electrodes.
Ground the Transformer.
If the Transformer is not grounded, you may get an electric shock when there
is trouble, or when electricity leaks.
Use the rated voltage.
Applying a voltage exceeding rated voltage can cause abnormal heat and fire.
Securely connect only specified cables.
Use of a cable of insufficient capacity or loose connection can cause fire and
an electric shock.
Do not touch +/- terminal, secondary cable, any welded part or
electrodes during welding and just after welding finished.
These parts are very hot while and right after processing.Do not touch them;
otherwise you may be burnt.
Do not damage the connecting cables.
Do not tread on, twist or tense any cable. The connecting cables may be
broken, and that can cause electric shock, short and fire. When repairing or
replacing, consult us or your distributor.
Stop the operation if any trouble occurs.
Continuous operation after occurrence of a trouble such as burning smell,
abnormal sound, abnormal heat, smoke, etc. can cause electric shock and
fire. If such a trouble occurs, immediately consult us or your distributor.
Wear protective glasses.
If you look at the flash directly during welding, your eyes may be damaged. If
any surface flash and expulsion gets in your eye, you may lose your eyesight.
Persons with pacemakers must stay clear of the Transformer.
A person who uses a pacemaker must not approach the welding transformer
or walk around the welding shop while the welding transformer is in operation,
without being permitted by his/her doctor. The welding transformer generates
a magnetic field and has effects on the operation of the pacemaker while it is
turned on.
Protective gear must be worn.
Put on protective gear such as protective gloves, long-sleeve jacket, leather
apron, etc. Surface flash and expulsion can burn the skin if they touch the
skin.
WARNING
!

ITB-780C6
1. Special Precautions
1-3
Do not use this Transformer for any purpose other than welding.
Use of this Transformer in a manner other than specified can cause electric
shock and fire.
Use proper tools (wire strippers, pressure wire connectors, etc.)
for termination of the connecting cables.
Do not cut the wire conductor. A flaw on it can cause fire and electric shock.
Install the Transformer on firm and level surface.
If the Transformer falls or drops, injury may result.
Do not splash water on the Transformer.
Water splashed over the electric parts, can cause electric shock and
short-circuits.
Do not place a water container on the Transformer.
If water spills, insulation will deteriorate, and this may cause electric leak and
fire.
Keep combustible matter away from the Transformer.
Surface flash and expulsion can ignite combustible matter. If it is impossible to
remove all combustible matter, cover them with non-combustible material.
Do not cover this Transformer with a blanket, cloth, etc.
Do not cover this Transformer with a blanket, cloth, etc. while you are using it.
The cover may be overheated and burn.
Keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
Keep a fire extinguisher in the welding shop in case of fire.
Use ear protectors.
Loud noises can damage hearing.
Maintain and inspect the Transformer periodically.
Maintain and inspect the Transformer periodically, and repair any damage
nearby before starting operation.

(2) Precautions for Handling
When transporting or moving the Transformer, do not lay it down. Also, handle the
Transformer with care so as not to make an impact such as drop on it.
Install this Transformer securely on a firm and level surface. If it is inclined malfunction
may result.
Do not install this Transformer in the following places:
•Damp places where humidity is higher than 90%,
•Hot or cold places where temperatures are above 40°C or below 5°C,
•Places near a high noise source,
•Places where chemicals are handled,
•Places where water will be condensed,
•Dusty places,
•Places exposed to large amounts of vibration or shock,
•Places at an altitude above 1000 meters.
Do not block up the vent slits and provide the clearance of 10 cm minimum for better
radiation.
There's a risk of failure, prevent a foreign matter into the Transformer from slits.
Clean the outside of the Transformer with a soft, dry cloth or one wet with a little water. If it
is very dirty, use diluted neutral detergent or alcohol. Do not use paint thinner, benzine,
etc., since they can discolor or deform the Transformer.
Operate the Transformer according to the method described in this operation manual.
To use the transformer, it is necessary to prepare the welding power supply, the welding
head, and secondary cables for connecting to the welding head, and so on.
The Transformer is dedicated to our Inverter Welding Power Supply IPB-5000□and
cannot be used with other power supplies.
Verify that contents of the container agree with the kit list. If you see any the deficiency,
please contact us.

2. Overview
(1) Inverter Welding Transformer
An inverter welding transformer is a type of transformer that supplies welding current
by converting the high-voltage, high-frequency AC current output of an inverter
welding power supply into DC current by using a built-in rectifier diode.
