4-5. Connecting To Weld Output Terminals

 

 

 

Tools Needed:

 

1 Positive (+) Weld Output Terminals

 

 

 

 

2 Negative (–) Weld Output Terminals

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3/8, 7/8 in

 

For Direct Current Electrode Positive

 

 

 

 

 

 

(DCEP), connect work cable to Negative

 

 

 

 

 

 

(–) terminal and electrode holder cable to

 

 

 

 

 

 

Positive (+) terminal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For Direct Current Electrode Negative

2

(DCEN), reverse cable connections.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To prevent overheating and damage, two

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

terminals are provided for each polarity in

 

 

 

 

 

 

case more than one cable is needed to

 

 

 

 

 

 

carry current to a single arc (see Section

 

 

 

 

 

 

4-6). This unit is not designed to supply

 

 

 

 

 

 

multiple arcs.

*Chart is a guideline and may not suit all applications. If cable overheating occurs (normally you can smell it), use next size larger cable.

**Weld cable size (AWG) is based on either a 4 volts or less drop or a current density of at least 300 circular mils per ampere.

 

( ) = mm2 for metric use
