2.12 Airborne Noise Emissions
The System generates high noise levels while cutting. Depending on the size of the
cutting area, distance from the cutting torch, and arc current cutting level, acceptable
noise levels may be exceeded. Proper ear protection should be used as defined by
local or national codes. The following chart gives the noise levels generated by the
System when operating at 300 amps, 180 arc volts. The measurements were made
with a sound level meter.
