Welding with Multiple Arcs 

Special care must be taken when more than one arc is 
welding simultaneously on a single part. Arc blow and 
arc interference may occur or be magnified. Each power 
source requires a work lead from the work stud to the 
welding fixture. Do not combine all of the work leads into 
one lead. Perform welding in the direction away from the 
work leads. Connect all of the work sense leads from 
each power source to the work piece at the end of the 
weld, such that they are out of the path of the weld 
current. 
 
For the best results when pulse welding, set the wire 
size and wire feed speed the same for all the arcs. When 
these parameters are identical, the pulsing frequency will 
be the same, helping to stabilize the arcs. 
 

 

A.  Direction of travel 
B.  Connect all sense leads at the 

end of the weld 

C.  Connect all work leads at the 

beginning of the weld

Control Cable 

ArcLink Control Cables are available in two forms: 

 

K1543-xx series for most indoor or factory 
installations.  

 

K2683-xx series for outdoor use or when the 
equipment is frequently moved. 

 
ArcLink/LincNet control cables are special high quality 
cables for digital communication. The cables are copper 
5 conductor cable in a SO-type rubber jacket. There is 
one 20 gauge twisted pair for network communications. 
This pair has an impedance of approx-izmately 120 
ohms and a propagation delay per foot of less than 2.1 
nanoseconds. There are two 12 gauge conductors that 
are used to supply 40VDC to the network. The fifth wire 
is 18 gauge and is used as an electrode sense lead. 
 
Use of non-standard cables may lead to system 
shutdowns, poor arc starting and wire feeding problems. 
 
Control cables may be connected end to end to extend 
their length. Use a maximum of 60m of control cable 
between components.
