ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY EMC

Introduction

Hypertherm’s CE-marked equipment is built in compliance with standard EN60974-10. The equipment should be installed and used in accordance with the information below to achieve electromagnetic compatibility.

The limits required by EN60974-10 may not be adequate to completely eliminate interference when the affected equipment is in close proximity or has a high degree of sensitivity. In such cases it may be necessary to use other measures to further reduce interference.

This cutting equipment is designed for use only in an industrial environment.

Installation and use

The user is responsible for installing and using the plasma equipment according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

If electromagnetic disturbances are detected then it shall be the responsibility of the user to resolve the situation with the technical assistance of the manufacturer. In some cases this remedial action may be as simple as earthing the cutting circuit, see Earthing of the workpiece. In other cases, it could involve constructing an electromagnetic screen enclosing the power source and the work complete with associated input filters. In all cases, electromagnetic disturbances must be reduced to the point where they are no longer troublesome.

Assessment of area

Before installing the equipment, the user shall make an assessment of potential electromagnetic problems in the surrounding area. The following shall be taken into account:

a. Other supply cables, control cables, signaling and

telephone cables; above, below and adjacent to the cutting equipment.

b. Radio and television transmitters and receivers.

c. Computer and other control equipment.

d. Safety critical equipment, for example guarding

ofindustrial equipment.

e. Health of the people around, for example the use

ofpacemakers and hearing aids.

f. Equipment used for calibration or measurement.

g. Immunity of other equipment in the environment. User

shall ensure that other equipment being used in the environment is compatible. This may require additional protection measures.

h. Time of day that cutting or other activities are to be

carried out.

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.

Methods of reducing emissions

Mains supply

Cutting equipment must 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.

Compliance Information EMC-1

7/ 10

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY

Consideration should be given to shielding the supply cable of permanently installed cutting equipment, in metallic conduit or equivalent. Shielding should be electrically continuous throughout its length. The shielding should be connected to the cutting mains supply so that good electrical contact is maintained between the conduit and the cutting power source enclosure.

Maintenance of cutting equipment

The cutting equipment must be routinely maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. All access and service doors and covers should be closed and properly fastened when the cutting equipment is in operation. The cutting equipment should not be modified in any way, except as set forth in and in accordance with the manufacturer’s written instructions. For example, the spark gaps of arc striking and stabilizing devices should be adjusted and maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Cutting cables

The cutting cables should be kept as short as possible and should be positioned close together, running at or close to the floor level.

Earthing of the workpiece

Where the workpiece is not bonded to earth for electrical safety, nor connected to earth because of its size and position, for example, ship’s hull or building steel work, a connection bonding the workpiece to earth may reduce emissions in some, but not all instances. Care should be taken to prevent the earthing of the workpiece increasing the risk of injury to users, or damage to other electrical equipment. Where necessary, the connection of the workpiece to earth should be made by a direct connection to the workpiece, but in some countries where direct connection is not permitted, the bonding should be achieved by suitable capacitances selected according to national regulations.

Note: The cutting circuit may or may not be earthed for safety reasons. Changing the earthing arrangements should only be authorized by a person who is competent to assess whether the changes will in crease the risk of injury, for example, by allowing parallel cutting current return paths which may damage the earth circuits of other equipment. Further guidance is provided in IEC60974-9, Arc Welding Equip ment, Part 9: Installation and Use.

Screening and shielding

Equipotential bonding

Bonding of all metallic components in the cutting installation and adjacent to it should be considered.

However, metallic components bonded to the workpiece will increase the risk that the operator could receive a shock by touching these metallic components and the electrode (nozzle for laser heads) at the same time.

The operator should be insulated from all such bonded metallic components.

Selective screening and shielding of other cables and equipment in the surrounding area may alleviate problems of interference. Screening of the entire plasma cutting installation may be considered for special applications.

System description

The Powermax45 is a highly portable, 45-amp, handheld and mechanized plasma cutting system appropriate for a wide range of applications. The Powermax45 uses air or nitrogen to cut electrically conductive metals, such as mild or stainless steel or aluminum. With it, you can cut thicknesses up to 25.4mm (1inch) and pierce thicknesses up to

9.5mm (3/8inch).

The standard Powermax45 includes one complete set of the consumables needed for cutting (shield, retaining cap, swirl ring, nozzle, electrode), 2spare electrodes, 2spare nozzles, gouging consumables (handheld configurations only), a quick-disconnect air fitting (1/4NPT on CSA units and 1/4NPT x G-1/4BSPP on CE units), a consumables box, a shoulder strap, an Operator Manual, a Quick Setup Card, and a Setup DVD. Mechanized configurations include a remote-start pendant as well.

You can order additional consumables and accessories – such as the plasma cutting guide – from any Hypertherm distributor. See the Parts section for a list of spare and optional parts.

The power cords on the 200–240V CSA power supplies are shipped with a 50A, 250V plug (NEMA6-50P) on the power cord. The CE units and the 480V CSA units are shipped without a plug on the power cord. See Prepare the electrical power in the Power Supply Setup section for more information.

Symbols and marks

Your Hypertherm product may have one or more of the following markings on or near the data plate. Due to differences and conflicts in national regulations, not all marks are applied to every version of a product.

S mark symbol

The S mark symbol indicates that the power supply and torch are suit able for operations carried out in environments with in creased hazard of elec tri cal shock per IEC 60974-1.

CSA mark

Hypertherm products with a CSA mark meet the United States and Canadian regulations for product safety. The products were evaluated, tested, and certified by CSA-International. Alternatively the product may have amark by one of the other Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL) accredited in both the United States and Canada, such as Underwriters Laboratories, Incorporated (UL) or TÜV.

CE marking

The CE marking signifies the manufacturer’s declaration of conformity to applicable European directives andstandards. Only those versions of Hypertherm products with a CE marking located on or near the dataplate have been tested for compliance with the European Low Voltage Directive and the European Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive. EMC filters needed to comply with the European EMC Directive are incorporated within versions of the product with a CE marking.

GOST-TR mark

CE versions of Hypertherm products that include a GOST-TR mark of conformity meet the product safety andEMC requirements for export to the Russian Federation.

C-Tick mark

CE versions of Hypertherm products with a C-Tick mark comply with the EMC regulations required for sale inAustralia and New Zealand.

CCC mark

The China Compulsory Certification (CCC) mark indicates that the product has been tested and found compliant with product safety regulations required for sale in China.

UkrSEPRO mark

CE versions of Hypertherm products that include a UkrSEPRO mark of conformity meet the product safety and EMC requirements for export to the Ukraine.
