PATON
ECO series
DC MMA
The above is due to the following:
For a short time at the moment of arc striking, the arc current increases by 33%
of the specified arc current (Fig.3).
Example:
Ø
3mm electrode welding
The arc current set by the controller is 90A.
The Hot Start current is 90A + 33% = 120A.

3.2 ARC-FORCE FUNCTION
The advantages:
- increased stability of welding with a short arc;
- better transfer of metal drops in the weld pool;
- improved arc striking;
- less electrode sticking.
The above is due to the following:
When the arc voltage is below the set limit, the arc current increases by 30% of
the set one (Fig.4).
