OPERATION

DEFINITION OF WELDING TERMS

NON-SYNERGIC WELDING MODES

• A Non-synergic welding mode requires all welding process vari-

ables to be set by the operator.

SYNERGIC WELDING MODES

• A Synergic welding mode offers the simplicity of single knob

control. The machine will select the correct voltage and amper-
age based on the wire feed speed (WFS) set by the operator.

WFS

• Wire Feed Speed

CC

• Constant Current

CV

• Constant Voltage

GMAW

• Gas Metal Arc Welding

GMAW-P

• Gas Metal Arc Welding-(Pulse Arc)

GMAW-STT

• Gas Metal Arc Welding-(Surface Tension Transfer)

SMAW

• Shielded Metal Arc Welding

FCAW

• Flux Core Arc Welding

CAG

• Carbon Arc Gouging

DUTY CYCLE

The POWER FEED™ 25M NNS is rated for 500 amps, 60% duty
cycle. The duty cycle is based on a 10 minute cycle.

For example, when welding at 500 amps, the POWER FEED™
25M NNS may run continuously for 6 minutes and then must sit
idle for 4 minutes.
