Power requirements Part 1
General
•
The points below describe the power requirements for the use of the
isoweld
3000 induction machine. These notes are recommendations. Each
®
job site and its power situation is individual and therefore no performance
guarantee can be given.
•
In addition to the recommendations stated in this document, the local safety
and electrical regulations applicable in the country of use must be observed.
•
Consultation of a qualified electrician is advisable.
Electrical safety
•
Connect the machine to a socket with a protective earth conductor. Any
breakage/disconnection of the protective conductor inside or outside
the tool is potentially dangerous! Use only extension cables with an
earth conductor!
•
When the tool is used on building sites, the use of an RCD switch is a
mandatory requirement for personal protection.
Power supply
•
Stable power is essential for problem-free operation of the isoweld
•
A minimum of
- 20 amps per electrical circuit required for countries with 110 volts /
120 volts nominal voltage
- 10 amps per electrical circuit required for countries with 230 volts
nominal voltage
•
Maximum one isoweld
other devices on the same circuit as the isoweld
•
Off-load voltage shall not exceed:
- 160 volts for countries with 110 volts / 120 volts nominal voltage
- 240 volts for countries with 230 volts nominal voltage
•
On-load voltage at the point of utilisation at the machine terminals, with the
machine running, must be higher than:
- 110 volts for countries with 110 volts / 120 volts nominal voltage
- 200 volts for countries with 230 volts nominal voltage
•
It is preferable for the isoweld
so as to avoid power surges from other equipment, e.g. drill machines.
Generator
•
Use a minimum 5000 watt generator
•
Requirements volts and amps see above
•
With ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
•
Grounding / earthing required
Transformer
•
Necessary for use in countries with a nominal voltage of 110 volts if the volta-
ge at the point of utilisation, with the machine running, falls below 110 volts.
•
The functionality of the system is only ensured if the transformer provided by
SFS intec is used.
