TYPICAL OUTPUT VOLTAGE WAVEFORM - MACHINE LOADED

CONSTANT VOLTAGE MIG MODE

0 volts

20 volts

2 ms

This is the typical DC open circuit voltage wave- form generated from a properly operating machine. Note that each vertical division repre- sents 20 volts and that each horizontal division represents 2 milliseconds in time. The machine was loaded with a resistance grid bank. The grid bank meters read 650 amps at 44 VDC.

Note: Scope probes connected at machine out-

put terminals: (+) probe to positive terminal, (-) probe to negative high inductance terminal.

SCOPE SETTINGS

Volts/Div	20V/Div.
Horizontal Sweep	2 ms/Div.
Coupling	DC
