Compliance Information EMC-1
Introduction
Hypertherm’s CE-marked equipment is built
in compliance with standard EN60974-10.
The equipment should be in stalled and used
in accordance with the information be low to
achieve elec tro mag net ic com pat i bil i ty.
The limits required by EN60974-10 may
not beadequate to com plete ly eliminate
interference whenthe affected equip ment
is in close proximity orhas a high degree of
sen sitivity. Insuch cases itmay be nec essary
to use other mea sures to furtherre duce
interference.
This cutting equipment is designed for use
onlyin an in dus tri al environment.
Installation and use
The user is responsible for installing and
usingtheplasma equipment according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. If elec tromagnet ic
disturbances are de tect ed then it shall be
the respon si bil i ty of the user to re solve the
situation withthe technical as sis tance of the
man u fac tur er. Insome cases this remedial
action may be as sim ple as earthing the
cuttingcircuit, see Earthingof Workpiece.
Inother cas es it could involve constructing an
electromag net ic screen enclosing the pow er
source and the work complete with associated
input filters. In all cases elec tro mag net ic
disturbanc es must be reduced to the point
where they are no longer trou ble some.
Assessment of area
Before installing the equipment the user
shall make an assessment of po ten tial
electromagnet ic problems in the sur round ing
area. The following shall be taken into account:
a. Other supply cables, control cables,
signalling and telephone ca bles; above,
below and adjacent to the cutting equipment.
b. Radio and television transmitters and
receivers.
c. Computer and other control equip ment.
d. Safety critical equipment, for example
guarding of industrial equipment.
e. Health of the people around, for example the
use of pacemakers and hear ing aids.
f. Equipment used for calibration or
measurement.
g. Immunity of other equipment in the
environment. User shall ensure that other
equipment being used in the environment
is com pat i ble. This may require ad di tion al
protection measures.
h. Time of day that cutting or other ac tiv i ties
are to be carried out.
The size of the sur round ing area to be
considered will depend on the structure of
the building and other activities that are taking
place. The surrounding area may ex tend
beyond the bound aries of the pre mises.
Methods of reducing
emissions
Mains supply
