3.1
Applications
3.1.1
MMA welding
Manual arc welding or, for short, MMA welding. It is characterised by the fact that the arc burns between
a melting electrode and the molten pool. There is no external protection; any protection against the
atmosphere comes from the electrode.
3.2
Overview of device types
3.2.1
Cellulose electrode types (cel)
CEL device types are equipped with special Arcforce characteristics.
These device types facilitate welding with cellulose electrode types which is safe for vertical-down
welding, especially in the lower output range.
3.2.2
Pole reversing switch (pws)
With PWS device types, the polarity of the welding current connections (pole reversal) can be changed
using a changeover switch on the machine or on the remote control.
Useful function with frequently changing electrode types without time-consuming reconnection of the
welding current connections (also directly at the operating point, in combination with a PWS remote
control).
