PATON VDI SERIES ECO DC MMA - 8 -

3.1 INCREASED-CURRENT ARC STARTING HOT-START

t (s)

The advantages ensured by the increased-current arc starting function are the following:

 The improved arc starting even when low-quality electrodes are used  The more complete fusion penetration during arc starting period and, as a result, the lower

number of defects associated with incomplete fusion.

 Prevention of slag inclusions

What is achieved by: During a short time, interval of arc starting, the welding current increases by 33 % of the set welding current (see pic 3). Example: Electrode diameter is 3 mm. Set welding current is 90 A.

The current at the increased-current arc starting stage is 90 + 0.3390 = 120 A.

3.2. REDUCED-VOLTAGE WELDING FUNCTION (ARC-FORCE)

The advantages ensured by the reduced-voltage welding function are the following:

 The enhanced arc stability in short arc welding mode  The improved transfer of metal drops into the molten pool  Improved arc starting  The reduced probability of electrode sticking

What is achieved by:

When the arc voltage drop is lower then the minimum voltage required for stable arcing, the welding current increases by 50% relative to the set current (see pic. 4).

This function may be disabled, for example, when welding sheet materials and when the welding unit is connected to a low-powered voltage source (the welding unit with this function enabled consumes additional power).

3.3. PROTECTION AGAINST ELECTRODE STICKING (“ANTI-STICK”)

In arc starting, the electrode can stick to the workpiece and, as a result, the electrode can be damaged due to overheating. If the electrode has stuck to the workpiece, the welding current decreases in 0.6 … 0.8 s after the sticking. In this case, the welder can detach the electrode from the workpiece without risk to damage eyes because of random arc starting. After the detachment of the electrode, the welding can be continued.

4. MAINTENANCE

WARNING!!! Before maintenance, switch off the welding unit and remove

the plug of the power cable from the electrical outlet of the power supply system. Wait for about 5 minutes until static charges in the unit circuits are removed, and then perform the maintenance operations. After completion of works with the welding unit, apply to the unit a warning plate with a text prohibiting switching on the unit.

For ensuring the operability of the welding unit for a long-term service life, it is necessary to perform the following procedures:

 Periodically, at specified time intervals, check that the safety requirements in operation of the

welding unit are fulfilled (see Section 11, "Safety instructions").

 At half-yearly intervals, purge the welding unit with dry compressed air.  When working in environment with excessive dust content, manually clean the passages for

cooling air.

WARNING! Purging of the unit from a short distance can result in damage

of the electronic elements of the unit.
