3 IN RODUC ION

LHF 400/630/800 are thyristor controlled welding rectifiers designed for welding with

coated electrodes and TIG welding.

The welding rectifiers can be used with the following remote control devices:

PHA 1, PHA 2, PHA 5, PHB 1, PHB 2, och PHC 2.

An auxiliary control unit is required for TIG welding with high frequency arc ignition.

LHF 400/630, versions with meters and timed cooling fan.

These welding rectifiers are equipped with a volmeter, ammeter and a circuit that

reduces the idle speed of the cooling fan.

The meters allow current and voltage settings to be read from the front of the

rectifier.

To minimise the amount of dust and dirt that is drawn into the rectifier the fan runs at

a reduced idle speed of 00 rpm. When welding with currents greater than 0 A the

fan speed increases to its working speed of around 1 50 rpm. A timer relay

maintains the higher speed setting for 6 1/2 minutes after welding has stopped to

ensure adequate cooling of the rectifier.

Enclosure class

The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i. e. the degree of protection against penetration by solid

objects or water. Equipment marked IP23 is designed for indoor and outdoor use.

Application class

The symbol indicates that the power source is designed for use in areas with increased

electrical hazard.

5 INS ALLA ION

The installation must be executed by a professional.

Note

Connect the power source to the electricity mains with a network impedance of 0.256

Ω

(LHF 400) 0.127

Ω

(LHF 630) or lower. If the network impedance is higher there is a risk of flicker in the illuminators.

WARNING!

This product is intended for industrial use. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio

interference. It is the user’s responsibility to take adequate precautions.

The power supply should be lifted by means of its lifting

eye. The handle is only intended for pulling it along the

ground.

Lifting instructions

SInstallation must be carried out by a qualified electrician.

SCheck that the welding rectifier is configured for the available mains supply before connecting it

to the mains.

SSee Connecting to mains for cable rating and fuse rating.

SConnect the mains cable to the rectifier according to the relevant regulations and install a suitable

fuse in the main fuse box.

SMake sure the welding rectifier is not covered or positioned so that cooling is obstructed.

7 MAIN ENANCE

Note

All guarantee undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if the customer himself

attempts any work in the product during the guarantee period in order to rectify any

faults.

Only those persons who have appropriate electrical knowledge (authorised

personnel) may remove the safety plates to connect or carry out service

maintenance or repair work on welding equipment.

Cleaning

Check regularly that the power source is free from dirt.

How often, and to what extent, cleaning should be carried out depends on the

welding process, arc time, disposition and the surrounding environment. It will

normally suffice to blow the power source clean using compressed air (reduced

pressure) once a year.

If the power source is very dirty, brushing and vacuuming are recommended.

SDisconnect the welding power source from the mains current supply.

SRemove the adapter from the socket. Lock the socket to prevent unauthorised

connection.

At fixed installations, the safety switch should be set to the off position. Lock

the switch.

SRemove the power source’s safety plates for best access.

After cleaning, all safety plates must be mounted before you connect the power

source to the mains supply.

8 ORDERING OF SPARE PAR S
