Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency Electric And Magnetic Fields

The following is a quotation from the General Conclusions Section of the U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Biological Effects of Power Frequency Electric & Magnetic Fields – Background Paper, OTA-BP-E-53 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, May 1989): “. . . there is now a very large volume of scientific findings based on experiments at the cellular level and from studies with animals and people which clearly establish that low frequency magnetic fields can interact with, and produce changes in, biological systems. While most of this work is of very high quality, the results are complex. Current scientific understanding does not yet allow us to interpret the evidence in a single coherent framework. Even more frustrating, it does not yet allow us to draw definite conclusions about questions of possible risk or to offer clear science-based advice on strategies to minimize or avoid potential risks.”

To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following procedures:

1.Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them.

2.Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.

3.Do not coil or drape cables around the body.

4.Keep welding power source and cables as far away as practical.

5.Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as possible.

About Pacemakers:

The above procedures are among those also normally recommended for pacemaker wearers. Consult your doctor for complete information.

MC-80M, MC-80 specifications

The Miller Electric MC-80 and MC-80M are advanced multi-process welding machines designed for versatility and efficiency in various welding applications. Recognized for their robust performance and state-of-the-art technology, these machines cater to the demands of professional welders across multiple industries, including fabrication, construction, and maintenance.

One of the standout features of the MC-80 and MC-80M is their ability to perform several welding processes, including MIG, TIG, Stick, and Flux-Cored welding. This multi-process capability allows users to tackle a wide range of welding tasks without needing multiple machines, which saves both time and money. The machine's adaptable nature makes it suitable for welding various materials, including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

The MC-80 series incorporates Miller's innovative Auto-Set technology. This feature automatically adjusts the machine's settings based on the user's selected material type and thickness, optimizing welding parameters for a perfect weld every time. This user-friendly technology significantly reduces the learning curve for less experienced welders while enhancing overall efficiency for seasoned professionals.

Power and performance are also key characteristics of the MC-80 and MC-80M. The machines are equipped with a powerful inverter design that provides clean, stable, and efficient arc characteristics. This inverter technology not only ensures consistent performance but also leads to energy efficiency, making these models environmentally friendly and cost-effective in the long run.

Portability is another essential aspect of the MC-80 series. Weighing considerably less than traditional transformer-based machines, these units are designed for easy transport. With the addition of an integrated handle and a lightweight design, welders can easily move the MC-80 or MC-80M around job sites, increasing productivity.

Furthermore, the versatile design of the MC-80M model includes a more advanced feature set, such as enhanced digital displays that offer real-time monitoring of welding parameters. This allows for improved control and precision during the welding process. Additionally, both models feature durable construction, ensuring reliable operation in demanding environments.

In summary, the Miller Electric MC-80 and MC-80M welding machines stand out due to their multi-process capabilities, innovative technology, energy efficiency, portability, and rugged design. These features make them ideal choices for both beginner and experienced welders looking to achieve high-quality results in a variety of welding applications.
