    INSTALLATION Depending upon the process, inductance within the CABLE INDUCTANCE AND ITS electrode and work cables can influence the voltage EFFECTS ON WELDING apparent at the studs of the welder, and have a dra- matic effect on performance. Remote voltage sense leads are used to improve the accuracy of the arc volt- Excessive cable inductance will cause the welding age information supplied to the control pc board.
  • Page 16 INSTALLATION Electrode Voltage Sensing The remote ELECTRODE sense lead (67) is built into the 5-pin arclink control cable (K1543-xx) and is always connected to the wire drive feed plate when a wire feeder is present. Enabling or disabling electrode voltage sensing is application specific, and automati- cally configured by the active weld mode.
