Mains connection
Requirements for connection to the public mains network
High-performance machines can influence the mains quality by taking current from the mains
network. For some types of machines, connection restrictions or requirements relating to the
maximum possible line impedance or the necessary minimum supply capacity at the interface
with the public network (Point of Common Coupling, PCC) can therefore apply. In this respect,
attention is also drawn to the machines' technical data. In this case, it is the responsibility of
the operator, where necessary in consultation with the mains network operator, to ensure that
the machine can be connected.

Safety instructions
General
10 099-005219-EW501
10.06.2013
CAUTION
EMC Machine Classification
In accordance with IEC 60974-
10, welding machines are grouped in two electromagnetic
compatibility classes (see technical data):
Class A
machines are not intended for use in residential areas where the power supply comes
from the low-voltage public mains net
work. When ensuring the electromagnetic compatibility of
class
A machines, difficulties can arise in these areas due to interference not only in the supply
lines but also in the form of radiated interference.
Class B machines fulfil the EMC requirements in industrial as well as residential areas,
including residential areas connected to the low-voltage public mains network.
Setting up and operating
When operating arc welding systems, in some cases, electro-magnetic interference can occur
although all of the welding machines comply with the emission limits specified in the standard.
The user is responsible for any interference caused by welding.
In order to evaluate any possible problems with electromagnetic compatibility in the
surrounding area, the user must consider the following: (see also EN 60974-10 Appendix A)
•Mains, control, signal and telecommunication lines
•Radios and televisions
•Computers and other control systems
•Safety equipment
•The health of neighbouring persons, especially if they have a pacemaker or wear a hearing
aid
•Calibration and measuring equipment
•The immunity to interference of other equipment in the surrounding area
•The time of day at which the welding work must be carried out
Recommendations for reducing interference emission
•Mains connection, e.g. additional mains filter or shielding with a metal tube
•Maintenance of the arc welding equipment
•Welding leads should be as short as possible and run closely together along the ground
•Potential equalization
•Earthing of the workpiece. In cases where it is not possible to earth the workpiece directly,
it should be connected by means of suitable capacitors.
•Shielding from other equipment in the surrounding area or the entire welding system

5.1 General
WARNING
Risk of injury from electric shock!
Contact with live parts, e.g. welding current sockets, is potentially fatal!
•Follow safety instructions on the opening pages of the operating instructions.
•Commissioning may only be carried out by persons who have the relevant expertise of
working with arc welding machines!
•Connection and welding leads (e.g. electrode holder, welding torch, workpiece lead,
interfaces) may only be connected when the machine is switched off!
CAUTION
Insulate the arc welder from welding voltage!
Not all active parts of the welding current circuit can be shielded from direct contact. To
avoid any associated risks it is vital for the welder to adhere to the relevant safety
regulations. Even low voltages can cause a shock and lead to accidents.
•Wear dry and undamaged protective clothing (shoes with rubber soles/welder's gloves
made from leather without any studs or braces)!
•Avoid direct contact with non-insulated connection sockets or connectors!
•Always place torches and electrode holders on an insulated surface!
Risk of burns on the welding current connection!
If the welding current connections are not locked, connections and leads heat up and
can cause burns, if touched!
•
Check the welding current connections every day and lock by turning in clockwise direction,
if necessary.
Risk from electrical current!
If welding is carried out alternately using different methods and if a welding torch and
an electrode holder remain connected to the machine, the open-circuit/welding voltage
is applied simultaneously on all cables.
•The torch and the electrode holder should therefore always be placed on an insulated
surface before starting work and during breaks.
CAUTION
Damage due to incorrect connection!
Accessory components and the power source itself can be damaged by incorrect
connection!
•Only insert and lock accessory components into the relevant connection socket when the
machine is switched off.
•Comprehensive descriptions can be found in the operating instructions for the relevant
accessory components.
•Accessory components are detected automatically after the power source is switched on.
