3-7. Paralleling Welding Power Sources For Air Carbon Arc (CAC-A)
Cutting And Gouging
Y Turn Off welding power sources by
placing fuse holders in the Off
position before making any weld
output connections.
Y Do not connect welding output of
different polarities to the same
structure.
Y See ANSI Z49.1 and OSHA Title 29,
Chapter XVII, Part 1910, Subpart Q
(addresses at beginning of manual).
Y Do not handle or come in contact with
two live electrodes at the same time.
Y UNDERSIZED WELDING CABLES
can cause fire. Use single cables of
adequate capacity to carry the total
combined amperage of the paralleled
welding power sources
Y ARCING can burn skin or damage
electrical equipment. Do not change
position

Common Weld Output Cable
Cable must be able to carry combined weld
output of all welding power sources
connected in parallel. Use Section 3-5 to
select proper cable size.
For Electrode Positive, reverse cable
connections. Positive (+) weld output cables
connect to electrode, Negative (−) weld
output cables go to Work.
