2 SAFETY

WARNING
ARC WELDING AND CUTTING CAN BE INJURIOUS TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. TAKE PRECAU-
TIONS WHEN WELDING. ASK FOR YOUR EMPLOYER’S SAFETY PRACTICES WHICH SHOULD BE
BASED ON MANUFACTURERS’ HAZARD DATA.

ELECTRIC SHOCK -- Can kill

S Install and earth the welding unit in accordance with applicable standards.
S Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or wet clothing.
S Insulate yourself from earth and the workpiece.
S Ensure your working stance is safe.
FUMES AND GASES -- Can be dangerous to health
S Keep your head out of the fumes.
S Use ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and
the general area.
ARC RAYS -- Can injure eyes and burn skin.
S Protect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens and wear protective
clothing.
S Protect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.
FIRE HAZARD
S Sparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure therefore that there are no inflammable materials nearby.
NOISE -- Excessive noise can damage hearing
S Protect your ears. Use ear defenders or other hearing protection.
S Warn bystanders of the risk.
MALFUNCTION -- Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.

READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!

3 INTRODUCTION
LHF 250/400/630/800 are thyristor controlled welding rectifiers designed for welding
with coated electrodes, TIG welding and arc air gouging.

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 300 rpm. When welding with currents greater than 30 A the
fan speed increases to its working speed of around 1350 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.

4 INSTALLATION

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.
S Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
S Check that the welding rectifier is configured for the available mains supply be-
fore connecting it to the mains.
S See Connecting to mains for cable rating and fuse rating.
S Connect the mains cable to the rectifier according to the relevant regulations and
install a suitable fuse in the main fuse box.
S Make sure the welding rectifier is not covered or positioned so that cooling is ob-
structed.

6 MAINTENANCE
LHF 250/400/630/800 normally do not require any maintenance.
Once a year blow the inside of the welding rectifier clean using dry compressed air at
reduced pressure.
Repeat more often if the rectifier is used in a very dusty or dirty environment.

6.1 General
