NOTE: The two arcs must be properly phased relative to each other, if the electrical connections are not as shown above, poor
welding will result.
A way to verify the proper phase angle and phase sequence is to measure the A.C. voltage at the welding nozzles.
1. Do not weld during the voltage measure
ments. Back the electrode out of each wire drive,
then press the NA-4 start
buttons.
CAUTION - Voltage will be high between the two electrode nozzles.
2. Voltage readings between nozzles to work, and nozzle to nozzle should be per table:
V V Value Relationship
If voltages do not agree, recheck all wiring and the proper sequence of the input supply lines.
the phase sequence use one of the following methods.
1. Use a phase meter.
2. Use an oscilloscope.
N.A. To obtain proper phase sequence at the welding arcs, the input line sequence must be A-C-B.
N.B. Interconnect machines as shown for the desired phase angle.
N.C. Frames of all welding power sources must be grounded per National Electric Code.
N.D. Electrode cables of paralleled machines should be connected to the same range tap.
N.E. The weld cables for each arc, and work must be of proper capacity for the current and duty cycle of the immediate and
future applications.
