The general specification for arc welding machines
1 Scope
This standard specifies general technical requirements, inspection methods,
acceptance rules for arc welding machines.
This standard applies to arc welding machines (hereinafter referred to as
welding machines), which are designed for industrial and professional use, AND
are powered by a voltage not exceeding the voltage specified in Table 1 of the
GB/T 156 standard OR driven by mechanical equipment.
This standard does not apply to manual arc welding power sources with limited
load, which are used by non-professionals.
If there are special requirements for various types of welding machines, they
can be supplemented, on the basis of this standard.

7 Inspection method
7.1 Inspection conditions
See the relevant requirements of GB 15579.1.
7.2 General visual inspection
The assembly quality of the welding machine shall be checked before the test,
such as whether the screws, bolts, nuts used for fastening are tightened;
whether the cooling fan, various adjustment devices, push rollers can rotate
flexibly; whether various signs meet the drawing requirements; whether the
data on the nameplates is complete and correct; whether the connection of the
protective conductor terminal is reliable.
ΔU2 - The rate of change of welding voltage.
7.5 Change rate of wire feeding speed
7.5.1 The rate of change of wire feeding speed is carried out without welding.
The hose, between the wire feeder and the welding torch (gun), remains straight.
7.5.2 For this test, measure the following two states, respectively, in the three
cases where the power supply voltage is 90%, 100%, 110% of the rated value.
a) Maximum wire feeding speed and minimum welding wire diameter;
b) Minimum wire feeding speed and maximum wire diameter.
Measure the length of the welding wire, through the wire feeder, in no less than
10 s.
7.5.3 The rate of change of wire feeding speed is calculated as follows:
The calculation result shall be the larger of the absolute value.
Where:
V0N - The wire feeding speed at rated voltage;
V0 - The wire feeding speed when the supply voltage is 90% and 110% of
the rated value;
ΔV0 - The rate of change of wire feeding speed.
Wire feeding speed V0 = L/T
Where:
L - The length of the welding wire sent out, in meters (m);
T - Time, in seconds (s).
7.6 Change rate of welding speed
