50 V

This is the typical AC output voltage wave- form generated from a properly operating machine. Note that each vertical division represents 50 volts and that each horizontal division represents 2 milliseconds in time.

Note: Scope probes connected at machine

output terminals: (+) probe to electrode, (–) probe to work.

0 V

2 ms
