Introduction.
Your welder features either a single phase or a three phase transformer with a drooping characteristic suitable for welding with
an alternating current using stick electrodes with diameters from 1.5mm to the highest electrode diameter as described on the data table to
be found on the welders front panel or top cover. The welding current may be regulated by using the screw type stepless welding current
control. The value of the current (1
2
) may be read on the amp graduated scale, this corresponds to the voltage of the arc (U
2
) according to
the equation: U
2
= (18+0,041
2
) V (EN 50060).
