Power Source Calibration<br />
A. Schedule<br />
Output testing of all Thermal Arc Inverter Power Sources and applicable accessories shall be conducted at<br />
regular intervals to ensure they fall within specified levels. Calibration intervals shall be as outlined below -<br />
1. For transportable equipment, at least once every 3 months; and<br />
2. For fixed equipment, at least once every 12 months.<br />
If equipment is to be used in a hazardous location or environments with a high risk of electrocution as<br />
outlined in EN 60974-1, then the above tests should be carried out prior to entering this location.<br />
B. Calibration Requirements<br />
Where applicable, the tests outlined in Table 6-3 below shall be conducted by an accredited Thermal Arc<br />
service agent.<br />
Testing Requirements<br />
Output current (A) to be checked to ensure it falls within applicable Thermal Arc power source specifications<br />
Output Voltage (V) to be checked to ensure it falls within applicable Thermal Arc power source specifications<br />
Motor Speed (RPM) of wire drive motors to be checked to ensure it falls within required Thermal Arc power<br />
source / wire feeder specifications<br />
Accuracy of digital meters to be checked to ensure it falls within applicable Thermal Arc power source<br />
specifications<br />
Table 5-3: Calibration Parameters<br />
Periodic calibration of other parameters such as timing functions are not required unless a specific fault<br />
has been identified.<br />
C. Calibration Equipment<br />
All equipment used for Power Source calibration shall be in proper working condition and be suitable for<br />
conducting the measurement in question. Only test equipment with valid calibration certificates (NATA<br />
certified laboratories) shall be utilized.<br />
5.03 Cleaning the Welding Power Source<br />
WARNING<br />
There are dangerous voltage and power levels present inside this product. Do not attempt to open<br />
or repair unless you are a qualified electrical tradesperson. Disconnect the Welding Power Source<br />
from the Mains Supply Voltage before disassembling.<br />
To clean the Welding Power Source, open the enclosure and use a vacuum cleaner to remove any accumulated<br />
dirt, metal filings, slag and loose material. Keep the shunt and lead screw surfaces clean as accumulated foreign<br />
material may reduce the welders output welding current.<br />
