SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety against fumes and welding gases
The HSE have identified welders as being an ‘at risk’ group for occupational diseases arising
from exposure to dusts, gases, vapours and welding fumes. The main identified health effects
are pneumonia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung and kidney
cancer, metal fume fever (MFF) and lung function changes.
During welding and hot cutting ‘hot work’ operations, fumes are produced which are
collectively known as welding fume. Depending upon the type of welding process being performed, the
resultant fume generated is a complex and highly variable mixture of gases and particulates.
Regardless of the length of welding being carried out, all welding fume, including mild steel welding
requires suitable engineering controls to be in place which is
usually Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) extraction to reduce the
exposure to welding fume indoors and, where LEV does not
adequately control exposure, it should also be enhanced by
using suitable respiratory protective equipment (RPE) to assist
with protecting against residual fume.
When welding outdoors appropriate RPE should be used.
Prior to undertaking any welding tasks an appropriate risk
assessment should be carried out to ensure expected control
measures are in place. An example of personal fume protection
Locate the equipment in a well-ventilated position and keep your head out of the welding fume.
Do not breathe the welding fume.
Ensure the welding zone is well-ventilated and provision should be made for suitable local fume
extraction system to be in place.
If ventilation is poor, wear an approved airfed welding helmet or respirator.
Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS’s) and the manufacturer’s instructions for
metals, consumables, coatings, cleaners and de-greasers.
Do not weld in locations near any de-greasing, cleaning or spraying operations.
Be aware that heat and rays of the arc can react with vapours to form highly toxic and irritating gases.
For further information please refer to the HSE website www.hse.gov.uk for related documentation.
Precautions against fire and explosion

Avoid causing fires due to sparks and hot waste or molten metal.
Ensure that appropriate fire safety devices are available near the welding
and cutting area.
Remove all flammable and combustible materials from the welding,
cutting and surrounding areas.
Do not weld or cut fuel and lubricant containers, even if empty. These must be
carefully cleaned before they can be welded or cut.
Always allow the welded or cut material to cool before touching it or placing it in
contact with combustible or flammable material.
Do not work in atmospheres with high concentrations of combustible fumes, flammable gases and dust.
Always check the work area half an hour after cutting to make sure that no fires have begun.
Take care to avoid accidental contact of electrode to metal objects. This could cause arcs, explosion,
overheating or fire.
Understand your fire extinguishers

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The working environment
Ensure the machine is mounted in a safe and stable position allowing for cooling air circulation.
Do not operate equipment in an environment outside the laid down operating parameters.
The welding power source is not suitable for use in rain or snow.
Always store the machine in a clean, dry space.
Ensure the equipment is kept clean from dust build up.
Always use the machine in an upright position.
Protection from moving parts

When the machine is in operation keep away from moving parts such as motors and fans.
Moving parts, such as the fan, may cut fingers and hands and snag garments.
Protections and coverings may be removed for maintenance and controls only by qualified personnel
after first disconnecting the power supply cable.
Replace the coverings and protections and close all doors when the intervention is finished and before
starting the equipment.
Take care to avoid getting fingers trapped when loading and feeding wire during set up and operation.
When feeding wire be careful to avoid pointing it at other people or towards your body.
Always ensure machine covers and protective devices are in operation.
Risks due to magnetic fields

The magnetic fields created by high currents may affect the operation of pacemakers or
electronically controlled medical equipment.
Wearers of vital electronic equipment should consult their physician before beginning any arc
welding, cutting, gouging or spot welding operations.
Do not go near welding equipment with any sensitive electronic equipment as the magnetic
fields may cause damage.
Keep the torch cable and work return cable as close to each other as possible throughout their length.
This can help minimise your exposure to harmful magnetic fields.
Do not wrap the cables around the body.
Handling of compressed gas cylinders and regulators

Mishandling gas cylinders can lead to rupture and the release of high pressure gas.
Always check the gas cylinder is the correct type for the welding to be carried out.
Always store and use cylinders in an upright and secure position.
All cylinders and pressure regulators used in welding operations should be handled with care.
Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve.
Always secure the cylinder safely and never move with regulator and hoses connected.
Use a suitable trolley for moving cylinders.
Regularly check all connections and joints for leaks.
Full and empty cylinders should be stored separately.

Protection error codes

When the overheating indicator illuminates and the digital meter
displays “E-1” it indicates that welding is forced to stop because the
main circuit of the machine is overheated. In this condition, it is
unnecessary to turn off the machine but just wait a few minutes and
then welding can be continued.
When the under voltage indicator illuminates and the digital meter
displays “E-2” it indicates that the mains voltage is overly low and
welding can be re-started when the mains voltage goes into normal.
When the over voltage indicator illuminates and the digital meter
displays “E-3” it indicates that the input mains supply is over 270V AC.
Have the input mains supply checked and then restart the machine and
welding can be continued.
When an internal error occurs the digital meter displays “E-4”.

Restart the machine to correct although if the error re-occurs then
please contact your supplier.

OPERATION - MMA
Before starting any welding activity ensure that you have suitable eye protection and
protective clothing. Also take the necessary steps to protect any persons within the welding
area.
MMA welding mode
MMA (Manual Metal Arc), SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) or just Stick Welding.
Stick welding is an arc welding process which melts
and joins metals by heating them with an arc
between a covered metal electrode and the work.
Shielding is obtained from the electrode outer

coating, often called flux. Filler metal is primarily
obtained from the electrode core.
The electrodes outer coating called, flux assists in

creating the arc and provides a shielding gas on
cooling which forms a covering slag to protect the
weld from contamination.
When the electrode is moved along the

work piece at the correct speed the
metal core deposits a uniformed layer
called the weld bead.
MMA operation steps
After connecting the welding leads, as detailed you will need to switch the power switch on the back
panel of the machine to “ON”.
Select MMA mode by pressing the welding mode selecting

key and MMA can be carried out. There is voltage output at
both output terminals.
At this time, the MMA indicator will illuminate and once welding is commenced this LED will flash.

TIG welding mode

Terms used: TIG – Tungsten Inert Gas, GTAW – Gas Tungsten Arc Welding.
TIG welding is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable
tungsten electrode to produce the heat for welding.
The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by a
shielding gas (usually an inert gas such as argon or helium) and a
filler rod matching the base material is normally used, though
some welds, known as autogenous welds, are carried out without
the need for filler wire.
TIG process can be either DC or AC modes:
DC - Direct current for welding steel, stainless steel, copper etc.
AC - Alternating current for welding aluminium and it’s alloys.
Connect the TIG torch connector to the “-” quick

socket on the machine panel and tighten it clockwise.
Connect the switch plug on the TIG torch to the
corresponding socket on the machine panel, this is a
quick connector so it is not necessary to turn the plug.
Insert the quick plug on the work return cable into the
“+” quick socket on the machine panel and tighten it
clockwise. Clamp the work clamp to the work piece.
Connect the gas hose of the TIG torch to the quick connector on the machine front.
Connect the gas hose to the gas inlet on the back panel of the machine. The other end of the supply hose
connects to the gas regulator on the cylinder.
Press the torch trigger briefly, the solenoid valve will operate and gas will flow.
Adjust the welding current according to the thickness of the work piece to be welded (for a guide to
welding parameters, please refer to the table below).
Hold the torch 2-4mm away from the work piece and then press the torch trigger. After the arc is ignited,
the HF discharge will cease, the current will

GUIDE TO MMA WELDING
area.
Notes for the welding beginner

This section is designed to give the beginner who has not previously done any welding some information
to get them going. The simplest way to start is to practice by running weld beads on a piece of scrap plate.
Start by using mild steel (paint free) plate of 6.0mm thick and using 3.2mm electrodes. Clean any grease,
oil and loose scale from the plate and fix firmly to your work bench so that welding can be carried out.
Make sure that the work return clamp is secure and making good electrical contact with the mild steel
plate, either directly or through the work table. For best results always clamp the work lead directly to the
material being welded, otherwise you may experience a poor electrical circuit.
Welding position
When welding, ensure you place yourself in a comfortable position for welding and your welding
application before you begin to weld. This may be by sitting at a suitable height which often is the best
way to weld ensuring you are relaxed and not tense. A relaxed posture will ensure the welding task
becomes much easier.
Please ensure you always wear suitable PPE and use suitable fume extraction when welding.
Place the work so that the direction of welding is across, rather than to or from your body. The electrode
holder lead should always be clear of any obstruction so that you can move your arm freely along as the
electrode burns down. Some experienced welders prefer to have the welding lead over their shoulder,
this allows greater freedom of movement and can reduce the weight from your hand.
Always inspect your welding equipment, welding cables and electrode holder before each use to ensure
it’s not faulty or worn as you may be at risk of an electric shock.
MMA process features and benefits

The versatility of the process and the skill level required to learn the basics simplicity of the equipment
make the MMA process one of the most common used throughout the world.
The MMA process can be used to weld a wide variety of materials and is normally used in the horizontal
position but can be used in vertical or overhead with the correct selection of electrode and current. In
addition, it can be used to weld at long distances from the power source subject to the correct cable
sizing. The self shielding effect of the electrode coating makes the process suitable for welding in
external environments. It is the dominant process used in maintenance and repair industries and is used
extensively in structural and fabrication work.
The process is well able to cope with less than ideal material conditions such as dirty or rusty material.
Disadvantages of the process are the short welds, slag removal and stop/starts which lead to poor weld
efficiency which is in the region of 25%. The weld quality is also highly dependent on the skill of the
operator and many welding problems can exist.

area.
MMA process tips and guides
Typical welder set up
1. Electrode holder
2. Work return clamp
3. Work piece
4. Weld material covered by
electrode flux or slag
5. Electrode
6. Distance from work to
electrode (arc length)
Welding current will flow in the circuit as soon as the electrode contacts the work piece. The welder
should always ensure a good connection of the work clamp. The nearer the clamp is placed to the
welding area the better.
When the arc is struck the distance between the end of the electrode and the work will determine the
arc voltage and also affect the weld characteristic. As a guide the arc length for electrodes up to 3.2mm
diameter should be around 1.6mm and for electrodes over 3.2mm it will be around 3mm.
Upon completion of the weld the welding flux or slag will need to be removed usually with a chipping
hammer and wire brush.
Joint form in MMA

In MMA welding, the common basic joint forms are: butt joint, corner joint, lap joint & T joint.
27
area.
MMA arc striking

Tap technique - Lift the electrode upright and bring it down to strike the work piece. After forming short
circuit, quickly lift up about 2~4mm and the arc will be ignited. This method is difficult to master.
Scratch technique - Drag the electrode and scratch the work piece as if striking a match. Scratching the
electrode may cause the arc to burn along the scratch path, so care should be taken to scratch in the weld
zone. When the arc is struck adopt the correct welding position.
Electrode positioning
Horizontal or flat position

The electrode should be positioned at right angles to the plate and inclined in the direction of travel at
around 10°-30°.
28
area.
Fillet welding
The electrode should be positioned to split the angle i.e. 45°. Again, the electrode should be inclined in
the direction of travel at around 10°-30°.
Manipulation of electrode
In MMA welding there are three
motions used at the end of electrode:
1. The electrode feeding to the

molten pool along axis 3
2. The electrode swing from right
and left
3. The electrode moving in the weld
direction
The operator can choose the manipulation of the electrode based on welding joint, welding position,
electrode spec, welding current and operation skill etc.
Weld characteristics
A good weld bead should exhibit the following characteristics:
1. Uniform weld bead
2. Good penetration into the base material
3. No overlap
4. Fine spatter level
A poor weld bead will exhibit the following characteristics:
1. Uneven and erratic bead
2. Poor penetration into the base material
3. Bad overlap
4. Excessive spatter levels
5. Weld crater

GUIDE TO TIG WELDING

TIG torch body and components

The torch body holds the various welding
consumables in place as shown and is covered by
either a rigid phenolic or rubberised covering.
Collet body
The collet body screws into the
torch body. It is replaceable
and is changed to accommodate the different
size tungstens and their respective collets.
Collets
The welding electrode (tungsten) is held in the torch by the collet. The collet is
usually made of copper or a copper alloy. The collet’s grip on the electrode is
secured when the torch back cap is tightened in place. Good electrical contact between the collet and
tungsten electrode is essential for good welding current transfer.
Gas lens body

A gas lens is a device that can be used in place of the normal collet body. It screws into
the torch body and is used to reduce turbulence in the flow of shield gas and produce
a stiff column of undisturbed flow of shielding gas. A gas lens will allow the welder to
move the nozzle further away from the joint allowing increased visibility of the arc.
A much larger diameter nozzle can be used which will produce a large blanket of shielding gas. This can be
very useful in welding material like titanium. The gas lens will also enable the welder to reach joints with
limited access such as inside corners.
Ceramic cups
Gas cups are made of various types of heat resistant materials in different shapes,
diameters and lengths. The cups are either screwed onto the collet body or gas
lens body or in some cases pushed in place. Cups can be made of ceramic, metal,
metal-jacketed ceramic, glass or other materials. The ceramic type is quite easily
broken so take care when putting the torch down.
Gas cups must be large enough to provide adequate shielding gas coverage to the
weld pool and surrounding area. A cup of a given size will allow only a given
amount of gas to flow before the gas flow becomes disturbed due to the speed
of flow. Should this condition exist the size of cup should be increased to allow the flow speed to reduce
and once again establish an effective regular shield.
Back cap
The back cap screws into the rear on the torch head and applies pressure to the back end of the collet
which in turn forces up against the collet body, the resulting pressure holds the tungsten in place to
ensure it does not move during the welding process.
Back caps are made from a rigid phenolic material and generally come in 3 sizes, short, medium and long.
31
area.
TIG welding electrodes

TIG welding electrodes are a ‘non consumable’ as it is not melted into the weld pool and
great care should be taken not to let the electrode contact the welding pool to avoid
weld contamination. This would be referred to as tungsten inclusion and may result in
weld failure.
Electrodes will often contain small quantities of metallic oxides which can offer the
following benefits:
• Assist in arc starting
• Improve current carrying capacity of the electrode
• Reduce the risk of weld contamination
• Increase electrode life
• Increase arc stability
Oxides used are primarily zirconium, thorium, lanthanum or cerium. These are added
usually between 1% to 4%.
Tungsten Electrode Colour Chart - DC Tungsten Electrode Current Ranges
Welding Mode Tungsten Type Colour Tungsten Electrode Size DC Current Amp

DC Thoriated 1% Yellow 4.0mm 190 - 280
DC Thoriated 2% Red 4.8mm 250 - 340
Tungsten electrode preparation - AC and DC

When welding at low current the electrode can be
ground to a point. At a higher current a small flat on
the end of the electrode is preferable as this helps
with arc stability.
A balled tip is generally used with the AC welding
process. To ball the end of the tungsten properly, simply
apply the AC amperage recommended for a given
electrode diameter and a ball will form on the end of the
electrode.
Electrode grinding
It is important when grinding the electrode to take all
necessary precautions such as wearing PPE such as eye
protection and ensuring adequate protection against breathing in any grinding dust.
Tungsten electrodes should always be ground lengthwise (as shown) and not in a radial operation.
Electrodes ground in a radial operation tend to contribute to arc wander due to the arc transfer from the
grinding pattern. Always use a grinder solely for grinding electrodes to avoid contamination.
32

TIG welding consumables

The consumables of the TIG welding process are filler wires and shield gas.
Filler wires
Filler wires come in many different material types Filler Wire Diameter DC Current Range (Amps)
and usually as cut lengths, unless some automated 1.0mm 20-90
feeding is required where it will be in reel form. 2.4mm 65-115
Filler wire is generally fed in by hand.
3.2mm 100-165
Always consult the manufacturer’s data and
welding requirements. 4.8mm 200-350
Filler Wire Selection Guide
Gases
Shielding gas is required when welding to keep the weld pool free of oxygen. Whether you are welding
mild steel or stainless steel the most commonly used shielding gas used in TIG welding is argon, for more
specialised applications an argon helium mix or pure helium may be used.
TIG welding - arc starting

The TIG process can use both non contact and contact methods to provide arc starting. Depending on the
Jasic model, the options are indicated on a selector switch on the front control panel of the power source.
The most common method of arc starting is ‘HF’ start. This term is often used for a variety of starting
methods and covers many different types of start.
Arc starting - scratch start

This system is where the electrode is scratched along the work piece like striking a match. This is a basic
way of turning any DC stick welder into a TIG welder without much work.
It is not considered suitable for high integrity welding due to the fact that the tungsten can be melted on
the work piece thereby contaminating the weld.
The main challenge with scratch start TIG welding is keeping your electrode clean. While a quick strike
with the electrode on the metal is essential and then not lifting it more than 3mm away to create the arc
will help, you also need to ensure your metal is completely clean.
33
area.
Arc starting - lift TIG (lift arc)

Not to be confused with scratch start, this arc starting method allows the tungsten to be in direct contact
with the work piece first but with minimal current so as not to leave a tungsten deposit when the
tungsten is lifted and an arc is established.
With lift TIG start the open circuit voltage (OCV) of the welder folds back to a very low voltage output
when the unit senses the tungsten has made continuity with the work piece. Once the torch is lifted the
unit increases output as the tungsten leaves the surface. This creates little contamination and preserves
the point on the tungsten although this is still not a 100% clean process. The tungsten still can get
contaminated but lift TIG is a much better option than scratch starting for mild and stainless steel
although these methods of arc starting are not a good option when welding aluminium.
Arc starting - HF start

Non contact High Frequency (HF) start method is a high voltage and low amperage generated using a
spark gap assembly and is the most popular and generally considered best TIG arc starting method. The
High Frequency (HF) start generates a high frequency arc that ionizes the gas bridging the gap between
the tungsten point and the work piece. This touchless method creates almost no contamination unless
the tungsten has been over sharpened or the start amperage is too high. It is an excellent choice for all
material being welded especially aluminium although, unless you need to weld aluminium, you don’t
have to use HF start steel/stainless.
The HF frequency varies with the spark gap and can be around 16000 Hz to 100000 Hz depending on
spark gap width so consideration should be given with this method as it can cause electrical interference
to nearby electrical equipment such as computers, CNC controls and phone systems.
If the spark gap is widened, the HF can become erratic.
34
GUIDE TO DC TIG WELDING
area.
DC TIG welding
Direct current welding is when the current flows in one direction only. Compared with AC welding, the
current once flowing will not go to zero until welding has ended.
The Jasic TIG Series polarity should generally be set up for Direct Current - Electrode Negative (DCEN) as
this method of welding can be used for a wide range of materials.
The TIG welding torch is connected to the negative output of the machine
and the work return cable to the positive output.
When the arc is established the current flows in the circuit and the heat
distribution in the arc is around 33% in the negative side of the arc (the
welding torch) and 67% in the positive side of the arc (the work piece).
This balance gives deep arc penetration of the arc into the work piece
and reduces heat in the electrode.
This reduced heat in the electrode allows more current to be carried by
smaller electrodes compared to other polarity connections. This method of connection is often referred
to as straight polarity and is the most common connection used in DC welding.
TIG welding techniques

• Before welding (especially with mild steel) you should ensure all materials being welded are clean, as
particulates can weaken the weld.
• The torch angle is best kept at 15 - 20° (from vertical) away from the direction of travel. This assists
with visibility of the weld area and allows easier access for the filler material.
• The filler metal should be fed in at a low angle to help avoid touching the tungsten electrode and
contaminating it.
• The TIG welding arc melts the base material and the molten puddle melts the filler rod, it is important
you resist the urge to melt the filler material directly into the welding arc.
• For thinner sheet materials, a filler material may not be needed.
• Prepare the tungsten correctly, using a diamond grinding wheel will give you the best results for a
sharp point. See page 32.
• For welding stainless steel, be careful of applying too much heat. If the colour is dark grey and looks
dirty and heavily oxidized then too much heat has been applied, this could also cause the material
to warp. Reducing the amperage and increasing travel speed may correct this problem, you could
also consider using a smaller diameter filler material, as that will require less energy to melt.

GUIDE TO AC TIG WELDING
area.
AC TIG welding
Alternating current, AC welding, is when the current once flowing will not go to zero until welding has
ended, compared with DC welding when the current flows in one direction only.
The Jasic TIG series polarity should generally be set up like Direct Current - Electrode Negative (DCEN) as
this method of welding can be used for a wide range of materials.
The TIG welding torch is connected to the negative output of the machine
and the work return cable to the positive output.
When the arc is established the current supplied by the machine operates
with either positive and negative elements of half cycles. This means current
flows one way and then the other at different times so the term alternating
current is used. The combination of one positive element and one negative
element is termed one cycle
The number of times a cycle is completed within one second is referred to as

the frequency. In the UK the frequency of alternating current supplied by the mains network is 50 cycles
per second and is denoted as 50 Hertz (Hz).
This would mean that the current changes 100 times each second. The number of cycles per second
(frequency) in a standard machine is dictated by the mains frequency which in the UK is 50Hz.
It is worth noting that as frequency increases magnetic effects increase and items such as transformers
become increasingly more efficient. Also increasing the frequency of the welding current stiffens the arc,
improves arc stability and leads to a more controllable welding condition.
However, this is theoretical as when welding in the TIG mode there are other influences on the arc. The
AC sine wave can be affected by the oxide coating of some materials which acts as a rectifier restricting
the electron flow. This is known as arc rectification and its effect causes the positive half cycle to be
clipped off or distorted. The effect for the weld zone is erratic arc conditions, lack of cleaning action and
possible tungsten damage.

TIG OPERATING FEATURES
area.
AC TIG welding square wave
With the electronic development of inverter power sources, the square wave machine was developed.
Due to these electronic controls the cross over from positive to negative and vice versa can be made
almost in an instant which leads to more effective current in each half cycle due to a longer period at
maximum. The effective use of the magnetic field energy stored creates waveforms which are very near
square.
The 200DS AC/DC square wave machine allows us
control of the positive (cleaning) and negative
(penetration) half cycles.
The balance condition with equal positive and
negative half cycles will give a stable weld condition.
The problems that can be encountered are that once
cleaning has occurred in less than the positive half
cycle time then some of the positive half cycle is not
productive and can also increase potential damage
to the electrode due to overheating. However, this
can be eliminated by the use of balance control which allows the time of the positive half cycle to be
varied within the cycle time.
I0 - Initial current
I1 - Welding current
I2 - Final current
tu - Upslope time
td - Downslope time
tp - AC period
tc - Cathode current time
In AC square wave TIG welding, the pre flow time and post flow time are the same as in DC TIG welding.
Others parameters are described below:
Initial current (I0), welding current (I1) and pilot arc current (I2).
The preset value of the three parameters is approximately the absolute average of the practical welding
current and can be adjusted according to users technical requirements.
Pulse frequency (1/tp): It can be adjusted according to users technical requirements.
Cleaning strength (100%*Tc/Tp): Generally, in AC welding when taking the electrode as the anode, the
current is called the cathode current. Its main function is to break up the oxidized layer of the work piece
and the cleaning strength is the percentage cathode current holding in the AC period.
This parameter is 10~40% commonly. When the value is smaller the arc is concentrated and the molten
pool is narrow and deep although when the value is larger, the arc is spread, the molten pool is wide and
shallow.
41
area.
AC pulsed TIG welding
Tc - Cathode current time

Tp - AC period
Tp - Pulsed peak current time
T - Pulse period
AC pulsed TIG welding is almost the same as AC square wave TIG welding and what makes them different
is that in AC pulsed TIG welding the welding current varies with the pulse peak current and base current.
For the AC square wave parameter selecting and setting, please refer to the corresponding contents in AC
square wave TIG welding. For the pulse frequency and pulse duration ratio users may refer to the
corresponding contents in DC pulsed TIG welding.
The pulse frequency (1/T) can be adjusted between 0.2Hz and 200Hz. The pulse duration ratio (Tp/T) can
be adjusted between 10% and 90%.
AC frequency
The normal mains frequency of equipment is 50Hz. However, this 200DS AC/DC has an output adjustment
range of between 20 - 250Hz.
With TIG welding power supplies that have an adjustable AC

frequency, lowering the AC frequency would provide a softer,
less forceful wide arc which offers a wider bead with shallow
penetration.
Increasing the AC frequency has the effect of concentrating

the arc making it easily directional with narrower bead with
deeper penetration.
42
area.
AC Wave balance or cleaning control

When welding materials with a refractory oxide surface
such as aluminium this oxide needs to be removed to
allow welding of the base material. In the AC mode the
oxide is removed during the positive half of the AC wave.
This control allows the user to set the amount of time
between positive and negative which is represented by
moving A or B in the image right.
EP = Electrode Positive
The higher the setting the more aggressive the cleaning EN = Electrode Negative
action but more time in the positive cycle drives more
energy into the tungsten so care should be taken to avoid overheating the tungsten. AC balance zero is
normally 50% positive and 50% negative.
Please Note:
For the JT-200DS, the factor set balanced ‘zero’ point is represented as 50 on the digital display and the
range of balance varies between 15 ~ 85.
With the correct setting of the frequency and balance controls it is possible to use a smaller size tungsten.
Maximum penetration
This can be achieved by placing the control to a position which will
enable more time to be spent in the negative half cycle with respect to
the positive half cycle. This will allow for higher current to be used with
smaller electrodes as more of the heat is in the positive (work).
The increase in heat also results in deeper penetration when welding at
the same travel speed as the balanced condition, a reduced heat
affected zone and less distortion due to the narrower arc.
Please Note:
To obtain more penetration for the JT-200DS, the AC balance
adjustment range is represented between 15 ~ 50.
Maximum cleaning
This can be achieved by placing the control to a position which will
enable more time to be spent in the positive half cycle with respect to
the negative half cycle. This will allow for very active cleaning current
to be used. It should be noted that there is an optimum cleaning time
after which more cleaning will not occur and the potential of damage to
the electrode is greater. The effect on the arc is to provide a wider clean
weld pool with shallow penetration.
Please Note:
To obtain more cleaning for the JT-200DS, the AC balance adjustment
range is represented between 50 ~ 85.
