2 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. To stiffen the weld
puddle, connect to a lower tap num-
ber.
3 Leads 70, 71 and 72 With
Pressure Connectors
Slide pressure connectors onto the
same tap of each coil, and secure
them.
Y An unbalanced secondary
current can damage the main
transformer and cause errat-
ic weld conditions. Be sure
leads 70, 71 and 72 are con-
nected to the same
numbered slope turn tap on
each coil. See slope
connection label .
