B-2 OPERA TION B-2 RECOMMENDED APPLICA TIONS OPERA TIONAL FEA TURES AND CONTR OLS The POWER ARC 5000 was designed for simplicity. Therefore, it has very few operating controls. A single dial on the control panel lets you select either genera- tor or welding use. For welding, the same dial selects continuous current output over the machine’s 70 to[...]

B-12 OPERA TION B-12 POWER ARC 5000 The POWER ARC 5000 has a voltage output of up to 62 volts which can shock. The electric arc is made between the work and the tip end of a small metal wire, the electrode, which is clamped in a holder that is held by the welder. A gap is made in the welding circuit (see Figure B.3) by hold- ing the tip of the elec[...]

B-13 OPERA TION B-13 POWER ARC 5000 1. The Correct W elding P osition Illustrated is the correct welding position for right-handed people. (For left-handed people it is opposite.) Whenever possible, weld from left to right (if right- handed). This enables you to see clearly what you are doing. Hold the electrode at a slight angle as shown in Figure[...]

B-14 OPERA TION B-14 POWER ARC 5000 PRA CTICE The best way of getting practice in the four skills that enable you to maintain: 1. Correct Welding Position. 2. Correct Way to Strike An Arc. 3.

B-15 OPERA TION B-15 POWER ARC 5000 Now weld the two plates together. Weld from left to right (if right-handed). Point the electrode down in he gap between the two plates, keeping the electrodes slightly tilted in the direction of travel. Watch the molten metal to be sure it distributes itself evenly on both edges and in between the plates. Penetra[...]

B-16 OPERA TION B-16 POWER ARC 5000 Vertical-Up Welding The problem, when welding vertical-up, is to put the molten metal where it is wanted and make it stay there. If too much molten metal is deposited, gravity will pull it downwards and make it “drip”. Therefore, a certain technique has to be followed: 1. Use 1/8” (3.2mm) 90-115 amps or 3/3[...]

B-17 OPERA TION B-17 POWER ARC 5000 Overhead Welding Various techniques are used for overhead welding. However, in the interest of simplicity for the inexperi- enced welder, the following technique will probably take care of his needs for overhead welding: 1. Use 1/8” (3.2mm) 90-105 A or 3/32” (2.5mm) 70 A AWS 6011 electrode on AC. 2. Put the e[...]

B-18 OPERA TION B-18 POWER ARC 5000 4. The bead should be put on with a weaving motion, and it should be 1/2-3/4” (12.7-19.0mm) wide. Do not let the arc blow over the edge, as that will dull the edge. (See drawing below.) 5. Use the back-stepping method. Begin to weld 3” (76mm) from the heel of the share and weld to the heel. The second weld wi[...]

B-19 OPERA TION B-19 POWER ARC 5000 This group includes electrodes which have a moder- ately forceful arc and deposit rates between those of the out-of-position and high-deposit electrodes. They are primarily general purpose production elec- trodes especially for downhill fillets and laps or short and irregular welds that change direction or positi[...]
