2-6. Slope Selection (250 Ampere Model) Slope Connection Label Tapped Reactor AC-Z And Slope Coils Tapped reactor AC-Z is factory con- nected to slope tap 8 which is suit- able for most GMAW applications. AC-Z controls the inductance applied to the weld current. To increase inductance and wet out the weld puddle, connect to a higher tap number.
Page 17
2-7. Inductance Selection (200 And 300 Ampere Models) Stabilizer Z Tapped stabilizer Z is factory connected to the stabilizer tap which suits most GMAW applications. Stabilizer Z controls the inductance applied to the weld current. To in- crease inductance and wet out the weld puddle, connect to stabilizer Z ending.

2-8. Weld Output Terminals And Selecting Cable Sizes Y ARC WELDING can cause Electromagnetic Interference. To reduce possible interference, keep weld cables as short as possible, close together, and down low, such as on the floor. Locate welding operation 100 meters from any sensitive electronic equipment. Be sure this welding machine is installed and grounded according to this manual.
