SinglePhase connection (1ph)

Electrical network, where it is onlypossible to connect single-phase equipment (2 cables + earth).

Normally thiselectrical connection is used, on the homes.

Threephase connection (3Ph)

Electrical network, where it is onlypossible to connect three phases (3 cables + earth). Normally

this electricalconnection is used, for professional use / companies.

Electrical Arc

Is the space, in between the electrode /wire and the piece to be Weld, This arc is where the electricity

is transmittedto the piece to meld it with heating.

Regulation Range

Shows the minimal and maximum currentoutput that the welding machine can delivery to Weld.

Alternating current (AC)

Electric current that changes the directionat regular intervals, defined by the cycles of the network

50 or 60 Hz,. Bothconnectors of the machine, has the same characteristics. With Alternatingcurrent

can be Weld electrodes (MMA), with coated rutil, and with TIG,Magnesium and ALUMINIUM.

Directcurrent (DC)

Electrical current that in doesn’t changethe direction, as does the AC. Each connector of the machine

(Poles) hasdifferent polarity and is shown (+) and( -). With the DC current, can be weldMMA electrodes

and with TIG; Steel, Stainless Steel, Titanium, Bronze, nickeland brass.
