WARNING!
An electric shock can be fatal.
Capacitors can charge during the insulation resistance measurement. After carrying out
the insulation resistance measurement, check that all tested potentials are de-energised
before continuing with the safety inspection. Alternatively, the capacitors can be dis-
charged by short-circuiting the tested potentials or via the discharge function on the insu-
lation tester.
Open circuit
voltage
- Peak value measurement of open circuit voltage at the power source current sock-
ets
- The measurement must be performed using the "Measuring circuit for U
0
measure-
ment" (43,0001,0945)
- The measurement must be performed in MIG/MAG mode
- The open circuit voltage must not exceed the value specified on the rating plate
when supplying the power source with rated welding voltage - tolerance +/- 10 %
Open circuit voltage testing procedure:
- Connect the testing circuit and the multimeter to the power source
- Set the multimeter to DC voltage measurement and the measuring circuit to U
PEAK
- Briefly press the Reset button to discharge the capacitors
- Actuate the torch trigger
- Adjust the potentiometer until the largest voltage value is shown
