2-9. Inductance Selection (300 Ampere Models)
1 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.
To change inductance proceed as
follows:
2 Lead 25
3 Stabilizer Z Tap
4 Stabilizer Z Ending
5 Lead 26
To increase inductance, connect
lead 26 to stabilizer ending and
secure.
Reinstall side panel.
6 Typical Weld Bead Using The
Tap Stabilizer Connection
Use the tap Stabilizer connection to
obtain arc type and weld bead suit-
able for some mild steel applica-
tions.
7 Typical Weld Bead Using The
End High Stabilizer
Connection
Use the end Stabilizer connection
to reduce weld bead crowning, and
spread the weld puddle.
