SECTION 3: Electromagnetic Compatibility
WARNING 5
Extra precautions for Electromagnetic Compatibility may be required when this Welding Power Source is used in a
domestic situation.
3.01 Installation and use - Users Responsibility
The user is responsible for installing and using the welding equipment according to the manufacturer‟s instructions. If
electromagnetic disturbances are detected then it shall be the responsibility of the user of the welding equipment to resolve the
situation with the technical assistance of the manufacturer. In some cases this remedial action may be as simple as earthing the
welding circuit, see NOTE 1. In other cases it could involve constructing an electromagnetic screen enclosing the Welding Power
Source and the work, complete with associated input filters. In all cases, electromagnetic disturbances shall be reduced to the
point where they are no longer troublesome.
NOTE 1
The welding circuit may or may nor be earthed for safety reasons. Changing the earthing arrangements should only be
authorised by a person who is competent to assess whether the changes will increase the risk of injury, e.g. by allowing
parallel welding current return paths which may damage the earth circuits of other equipment. Further guidance is given
in IEC 974-13 Arc Welding Equipment - Installation and use (under preparation).
