Visual inspection for
visible defects:
• Torch/ electrode
holder
• Mains supply
• Welding circuit
• Housing etc.

Testing the protective
conductor with regard to:
Continuity between the
earthing contact of the
mains plug and
accessible conductive
parts of the device/ the
device connection
For cables with a rated current of
≤16.0A:
For cables up to 5m: ≤0.3Ω
For additional meters (up to
7.5m each), 0.1Ω is added to
the limit up to a maximum value
of 1.0Ω.
For cables with higher rated
currents, the calculated ohmic
resistance value shall apply.
