As shown in the above figure, the current is stepped up or down to the value for
STEP2
following completion of the specified number of welds for
STEP1
. Similarly, the current is
stepped up or down to the value for STEP3 following completion of the specified number of
welds for STEP2 .

As shown in the above figure, the current is stepped up or down to the value for STEP2 with
the specified number of welds for
STEP2
following completion of the specified number of
welds for
STEP1
. Similarly, the current is stepped up or down to the value for STEP3 the
specified number of welds for STEP3 following completion of the specified number of welds
for STEP2.
For example, the settings are
COUNT: 2
for
STEP1, RATIO: 200%
and
COUNT: 4
for
STEP2
,
and 2kA for current, the current is stepped up in a stepwise manner from Weld 3 to Weld 6 as
shown below.
