standard: EN 50 199 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Product Standard for Arc Welding Equipment. It

All electrical equipment generates small amounts of electromagnetic emission. Electrical emission may be

received by other equipment, electrical interference may result. Electrical emissions may affect many kinds of

telephone systems, computers, etc. Be aware that interference may result and extra precautions may be required

If electromagnetic disturbances are detected then it shall be the responsibility of the user of the welding equipment

to resolve the situation with the technical assistance of the manufacturer. In some cases this remedial action may

electromagnetic disturbances must be reduced to the point where they are no longer troublesome.
