KOLARC MX600 - Connecting the Interconnecting Hosepack; Correct Routing of the Interconnecting Hosepack; Establishing a Ground Earth Connection; Place the Wirefeeder on the Power Source

33
Place the
wirefeeder on the
power source
CAUTION!
Danger of personal injury and damage to equipment due to falling wirefeeder.
▶ Ensure that the wirefeeder is firmly seated on the pivot pin and that the devices,
upright brackets, and trolley are positioned securely.
Connecting the
interconnecting
hosepack
WARNING!
Fitting the device incorrectly can cause serious injury and damage to property.
▶ Do not perform the steps described here until you have fully read and understood
the Operating Instructions.
NOTE!
When connecting the interconnecting hosepack, check that
▶ All connections are connected properly
▶ All cables, leads, and hosepacks are undamaged and correctly insulated
IMPORTANT! Gas-cooled systems are not fitted with a cooling unit. The water connections
therefore do not need to be connected for gas-cooled systems
Correct routing of
the
interconnecting
hosepack
IMPORTANT! The duty cycle values (D.C.) of the interconnecting hosepack can only be
achieved if it is correctly routed.
Establishing a
ground earth
connection
When establishing a ground earth connection, observe the following points:
▶ Use a separate grounding cable for each power source
▶ Keep positive cables and grounding cables together as long and as close as possible
▶ Physically separate the welding circuits of individual power sources
▶ Do not route several grounding cables in parallel;
if parallel routing cannot be avoided, keep a minimum distance of 30 cm between
the welding circuits
▶ Keep the grounding cables as short as possible, provide a large cable cross-section
▶ Do not cross over grounding cables
▶ Avoid ferromagnetic materials between the grounding cables and the interconnecting
hosepack
▶ Do not wind long grounding cables - coil effect!
Route long grounding cables in loops
▶ Do not route grounding cables in iron pipes, metal cable trays, or on steel beams,
avoid cable ducts;
(routing positive cables and grounding cables together in an iron pipe does not
cause any problems)
▶ If several grounding cables are used, separate the part’s ground points as far as
possible and do not allow crossed current paths under the individual arcs.
▶ Use compensated interconnecting hosepacks (interconnecting hosepacks with
integrated grounding cable)
NOTE!
