GENERAL GUIDELINES • Select the appropriate size cables per the “Output Cable Guidelines” in Table A.1 . Excessive voltage drops caused by undersized welding cables and poor connections often result in unsatisfactory welding performance. Always use the largest welding cables (electrode and work) that are practical, and be sure all connections[...]

A-14 INST ALLA TION POWER WAVE® i400 A-14 General Guidelines for Voltage Sense Leads Sense leads should be attached as close to the weld as practical, and out of the weld cur rent path when possible. In extremely sensitive applications it may be necessary to route cables that contain the sense leads away from the electrode and work welding cables.[...]

If a remo te work voltage sense lead is used, it must be enabled through the Fanuc Teach Pendant or with the Weld Manager Utility (includ- ed on the Power Wave Utilities and Service Navigator CD’s or available at www.powerwavesoftware.com). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Voltage Sensing Considerations for[...]

Pulse welding modes are s ynergic; using wire feed speed as the main control parameter. As the wire feed speed is adjusted, the power source adjusts the waveform parameters to maintain good welding char- acteristics. The Power Wave i400 can also be config- ured to use amperage as the dominant control para- meter. In this configuration, as the amper[...]
