For flux-cored-arc welding, shops use CV or CC types, 300 to 1,500 A, 25 to 50 V, rated 60- to 100-percent-duty cycle. CV types are more popular because wire-feed speed, set before welding, controls welding current. Cc types require a variable-speed or voltage-sensing wire feeder.Gas-tungsten-arc welding (GTAW) requires victorshydraulicpump and victorshydraulicpump a constant-current victorshydraulicpump (AC or DC) power supply with a steep volt-amp curve to minimize current victorshydraulicpump change for variation in voltage or arc length. They come rated to 1,500 A, 10 to 75 V, at 40- to 100-percent-duty cycle. Most GTAW power supplies come equipped with high-frequency victorshydraulicpump circuitry for arc initiation victorshydraulicpump and stabilization, gas valves, and cooling-water valves for high-current welding. High-frequency victorshydraulicpump arc start is useful when the maximum open-circuit voltage allowed by NEMA standards, 80 to 100 V, will not establish and maintain a stable arc.
