Welding machines are classified into these two groups
Constant current (SMAW) Constant Voltage (GMAW)
An electric current that has positive and negative values alternately
Alternating current (AC)
An electric current flow in one direction only
Direct current (DC)
The unit of measurement used in expressing the rate of current flow
Ampere (Amp)
The measurement of electron movement in an electrical circuit
Current flow
The electrical pressure or force that causes current to flow
Voltage (Does not flow in a circuit)
The three types of constant current sources
Transformers
Inverters
Generators
300 Amps at 60% duty cycle means this
300 amps for only 6 minutes of every 10 minutes of operation
Condition from where extensive dc welding has been done at high heats, has a noisy, blowing sound
Arc blow
