8-6. GUIDELINES FOR INSTALLATION OF HIGH- FREQUENCY ASSISTED ARC WELDING POWER SOURCES

1.Locate the equipment so that the ground wire of the high-frequency power source can be kept as short as possible.

2.Shield the line input power leads up to the point of connection with the enclosure of the high-frequency power source as specified by the manufacture’s re- quirements (see Section 8-5F).

3.Be sure that there is good electrical contact made at the enclosure of the high-frequency welding power source, through the conduit, and back to the service box. Be sure that the conduit system is continuous to a point at least 50 ft. (15 m) from the equipment, and that the conduit system is one complete run within the high-frequency zone. If rigid, metallic con- duit is not used, be sure that the shielding used has equivalent shielding efficiency. Copper sleeving, lead covered cable, or the equivalent, is satisfac- tory. Spirally wound, flexible, metallic conduit is not suitable.

4.Keep WORK and ELECTRODE cables as short and straight as possible.

5.Keep weld cables to a maximum length of 25 ft. (8 m).

6.Keep weld cables as close together and as close to the ground plane as possible.

7.Adjust spark gap setting to the minimum setting given in this manual.

8.Secure all service and access doors before operat- ing.

9.Visualize the welding zone as a sphere with a 50 ft. (15 m) radius centered on a point between the power source and the electrode holder (see Figure 8-6), and proceed as follows:

a.Have all unshielded power, lighting, and com- munication wires within the welding zone placed in grounded shields or relocated outside the welding zone.

b.Ground all large metallic objects, long guy wires, or support wires within the welding zone.

c.Be sure that there are no external power or tele- phone wires, which may be off the immediate premises, within the welding zone.

10.Use driven ground rods which enter the ground 10 ft. (3 m) or less from the ground connection, or cold water pipes, as the ground for the high-fre- quency welding power source.

11.Be sure that all ground connections are clean and tight.

12.If the high-frequency welding power source is oper- ated within a metal building, be sure that the building is properly grounded.

8-7. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES CHECKLIST

All items may not be necessary or practical for each in- stallation. Complete the necessary items to eliminate in- terference with authorized FCC services.

1.Is equipment properly located?

(See Sections 8-4, 8-5D, 8-5E, 8-6.1, and 8-6.9.)

2.Are ac input power connections properly made? (See Sections 8-5B, 8-6.2, and 8-6.3.)

3.Are weld cables and equipment properly installed? (See Sections 8-5A, 8-6.4, 8-6.5, and 8-6.6.)

4.Are ground connections properly made?

(See Sections 8-5C, 8-6.1, 8-6.6, 8-6.11, and 8-6.12.)

5.Is equipment properly set up and adjusted? (See Sections 8-6.7 and 8-6.8.)
