Total of open circuit
z z
voltages
When more than one welding
current source is operated at
the same time, their open circuit
voltages may add up and lead to
an increased electrical hazard.
The welding current sources
must be clearly marked with
their individual control units and
connections, in order to be able
to identify which device belongs
to which circuit.

Protective clothing

z z
At work, the welder must
„ z
protect his/her whole body
by using appropriate clothing
and face protection against
radiations and burns.
The following steps must be
observed:
- Wear protective clothing
prior to welding work.
- Wear gloves.
- Open windows or use a fan
to guarantee air supply.
- Wear safety glasses and a
face mask.
Gauntlet gloves made of a
„ z
suitable material (leather) must
be worn on both hands. They
must be in perfect condition.
A suitable apron must be
„ z
worn to protect clothing from
flying sparks and burns.
When specific work, e.g.
overhead welding, is required,
a protective suit must be worn
and, if necessary, even head
protection.
Protection against rays
z z
and burns
Warn of the danger to the eyes
„ z
by hanging up a sign saying
"Caution! Do not look into
flames!". The workplaces must
be shielded so that the persons
in the vicinity are protected.
Unauthorised persons must be
kept away from welding work.
The walls in the immediate
„ z
vicinity of fixed workplaces
should neither be bright
coloured or shiny. Windows
up to head height must be
protected to prevent rays
from penetrating or reflecting
through them, e.g. by using
suitable paint.
