1 Welding Power Source

2 Composite Cable

3 Work Cable

4 Volt Sense Lead

5 Wire Feeder

6 Workpiece

The method used to arrange cables has

a significant affect on welding

performance. As an example,

Pro-Pulse and RMD welding processes

can produce high welding circuit

inductance depending on cable length

and arrangement. This can result in

limited current rise during droplet

transfer into the welding puddle.

The electrode sense and volt sense

leads are contained in the feeder control

cable and are enabled for all processes.

The volt sense lead automatically

compensates for work cable voltage

drop when connected to the welding

power source.

Do not coil excess cables. Use cables

that are the appropriate length for the

application. Avoid coupling the volt

sense lead with the weld cables.

5-24. Arranging Welding Cables To Reduce Welding Circuit Inductance

Bad

S DO NOT coil cables

S DO NOT share work clamps (no more than 1 machine per clamp)

S DO NOT tangle cables from different machines

S DO NOT splice weld cables

Ideal

S Use shortest cables possible for the job

S Use proper sized work clamp and weld cables to accommodate peak amperages

S Separate volt sense lead and feeder control cable from weld cables

S Place weld cables together if possible

S Connect work clamp as close to welding arc as possible
