Hotstart
The hot start device ensures that stick electrodes ignite more effectively thanks to a greater hot start
current. After selecting the stick electrode, the arc ignites with the hot start current
for the preset hot
start time
and then reverts to the main current
(AMP).
The parameter values for hot start current and time can be optimised for the electrode types used.
