A-2 INST ALLA TION V205-T AC/DC TIG A-2 MACHINE GROUNDING AND HIGH FRE- QUENCY INTERFERENCE PROTECTION The Capacitor Discharge Circuit used in the high fre- quency generator, may cause many radio, TV and electronic equipment interference problems. These problems may be the result of radiated interference. Proper grounding methods can reduce or elim[...]

A-3 INST ALLA TION V205-T AC/DC TIG A-3 3. Be sure the torch and work cable rubber cover- ings are free of cuts and cracks that allow high frequency leakage. Cables with high natural rub- ber content, such as Lincoln Stable-Arc ® better resist high frequency leakage than neoprene and other synthetic rubber insulated cables. 4. Keep the torch in go[...]

A-4 INST ALLA TION V205-T AC/DC TIG A-4 230V INPUT The equipment is provided with a 230/115V cable, 6.6ft.(2m) in length with a 230V 6-50P attachment plug. The Invertec V205-T AC/DC performs best when con- nected to 230VAC inputs. This input allows full output of the machine (200 amps). 115V INPUT A suitable 115V attachment plug must be installed o[...]

B-7 OPERA TION B-7 WELDING POLARITY DC Electrode Negative Polarity (Direct Current Straight Polarity) (see FIGURE B.4) While Welding, there is a continuous flow of electrons from the electrode to the workpiece. This is the most used polarity, ensuring limited wear of the electrode, since the majority of the heat concen- trates on the anode (workpie[...]

A.C.- PULSED TIG B-8 OPERA TION B-8 DC Electrode Positive Polarity. (Direct Current Reverse Polarity) (see Figure B.5) In this case, there is a continuous flow of electrons from the workpiece to the electrode. The reverse polarity is used for welding alloys covered with a layer of refractory oxide. With this polarity the electrode functions as anod[...]

1. The AC wave balance can be set to a higher per- centage electrode negative which minimizes tung- sten heating and erosion. 2. The AC frequency can be varied to "focus" the arc. Increasing the AC frequency above 60Hz will nar- row the cone shape arc from the tungsten ’ s tip. Decreasing the AC frequency below 60Hz will broaden the con[...]

B-10 OPERA TION B-10 PROTECTIVE GAS Both argon and helium work when welding aluminum. Argon is preferred, due to its lower cost and consump- tion rate. This gas also tends to stabilize the arc, thus making it easy to operate. For some applications, however, the use of helium, or argon-helium blends, is recommended due to better weld penetration and[...]
