Short arc with easy weld modelling capabilities for effortless gap bridging and positional welding.

Figure 5-17

•  Reduced spatter compared to standard short arc
•  Good root formation and secure sidewall fusion
•  Un-alloyed and low-alloy steels
•  Manual and automated applications

Unstable arc!
Welding current cables that are not fully unrolled can cause faults in the arc (flickering).

•

Fully unroll welding current cables, torch hose packages and, if applicable, intermediate hose
packages. Avoid loops!
