Power Requirements; Power Supply - SFS isoweld 3000m Manual De Usuario

Power requirements Part 1
General
• The points below describe the power requirements for the use of the
isoweld 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 induction machine.
• 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 induction machine per circuit, with a recommendation not to
use 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 induction machine to have its own dedicated power
supply 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 is used.
