Reference to Code of Safe Working Practices for Merchant Seafarers (COSWP, UK): 24.7.3 Earth return clamp must be connected as closet to welding piece and not hull.
The return clamp should always be placed as close as possible to the welding area, or on the work piece itself if this is not an integral part of the hull.
The return connector must be properly dimensioned to provide good contact for the welding current load to be used. There are four types of return clamps available: the 200A, 400A, 600A and 800A.
Features
- Good contact with the workpiece
- Strong grip that permits attachment to any work piece
- Provide a large contact area with less overheating
Benefits
- Compliance to OCIMF SIRE 2.0 electric arc welding safety requirements
- Secured return on work piece reduces circuit resistance and provide a stable voltage which ensures good welding quality
