2. Radio and television transmitters and receivers.
3. Computer and other control equipment.
4. Safety critical equipment, e.g. guarding of industrial equipment.
5. The health of people around, e.g. the use of pace-makers and hearing aids.
6. Equipment used for calibration and measurement.
7. The time of day that welding or other activities are to be carried out.
8. The immunity of other equipment in the environment: the user shall ensure
that other equipment being used in the environment is compatible: this may
require additional protection measures.
The size of the surrounding area to be considered will depend on the structure of
the building and other activities that are taking place. The surrounding area may
extend beyond the boundaries of the premises.
C. Methods of Reducing Electromagnetic Emissions
1. Mains Supply
Welding equipment should be connected to the mains supply according to the
manufacturer's recommendations. If interference occurs, it may be necessary
to take additional precautions such as filtering of the mains supply.
Consideration should be given to shielding the supply cable of permanently
installed welding equipment in metallic conduit or equivalent. Shielding should
be electrically continuous throughout its length. The shielding should be
connected to the Welding Power Source so that good electrical contact is
maintained between the conduit and the Welding Power Source enclosure.
2. Maintenance of Welding Equipment
The welding equipment should be routinely maintained according to the
manufacturer's recommendations. All access and service doors and covers
should be closed and properly fastened when the welding equipment is in
operation. The welding equipment should not be modified in any way except
for those changes and adjustments covered in the manufacturer's instructions.
In particular, the spark gaps of arc striking and stabilizing devices should be
adjusted and maintained according to the manufacturer's recommendation.
3. Welding Cables
The welding cables should be kept as short as possible and should be
positioned close together, running at or close to the floor level.
