			Cable To Gun	Cable To Work

	GMAW − Solid wire with shield-	DCEP − Reverse polarity	Connect to positive (+) out-	Connect to negative (−) output
	ing gas		put terminal	terminal

	FCAW − Self-shielding wire −	DCEN − Straight Polarity	Connect to negative (−)	Connect to positive (+) output
	no shielding gas		output terminal	terminal

5-5. Changing Polarity

.Connection hardware must be tightened

with proper tools. Do not just hand tighten hardware. A loose electrical connection will cause poor weld performance and excessive heating at the terminal block.

CHANGING

POLARITY

DCEN

Electrode negative for

flux cored wire

1

DCEP

Electrode positive for

solid wire

2

! Turn off welding power source.

1Lead Connections For Direct Current Electrode Negative (DCEN)

2Lead Connections For Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP)

Always read and follow wire manufacturer’s recommended polarity, and see Section 5-4.
