Power in the Arc.

PEAK CURRENT
The Peak Current control acts similar to an “arc pinch”
control. Peak current serves to establish the arc
length and promote good fusion. Higher peak current
levels will cause the arc to broaden momentarily while
increasing the arc length. If set too high, globular type
transfer will occur. Setting this level to low will cause
instability and wire stubbing. In practice, this current
level should be adjusted for minimum spatter and
puddle agitation.

Adjust Arc Length with Peak Current

HOT START
The Hot Start control can be set to enhance establish-
ing the arc and provide the capability of increasing the
heat at the start of the weld to compensate for a cold
work piece. Hot start adjusts the time that additional
current is applied during the starting of the arc. Refer
to “Operational Features and Controls” in this section
for a description of this control.
