Arc-Force Dynamic - Fronius TransPocket 150 Operating Instructions Manual

I (A)
120A
Example of HotStart function
Arc-force dynam- To obtain optimum welding results, it will sometimes be necessary to adjust the arc-force
ic dynamic.
Setting range: 0 - 100 (corresponds to 0 - 200 A current increase)
Operating principle:
At the moment of droplet transfer or in the event of a short circuit, the amperage is briefly
increased in order to obtain a stable arc.
If the rod electrode threatens to sink into the weld pool, this measure prevents the weld
pool solidifying, as well as preventing a prolonged short-circuit of the arc. This largely pre-
vents the rod electrode from sticking.

Press the setting value button until
the arc-force dynamic indicator lights up
Turn the adjusting dial until the desired correction value is reached
Carry out welding
NOTE! The maximum arc-force dynamic current is limited as follows:
- TransPocket 150 to 180 A
- TransPocket 180 to 220 A

Arc-force dynamic = 0

- arc-force dynamic deactivated
- soft, low-spatter arc
Arc-force dynamic = 20
- arc-force dynamic with 40 A current increase
- harder, more stable arc
Arc-force dynamic = 60, set welding current = 100 A
- for the TransPocket 150: actual increase is just 80 A as the maximum current limit
is reached!
- for the TransPocket 180: arc-force dynamic with 120 A current increase

Reduced pore formation with certain
electrode types
Improved ignition properties, even
when using electrodes with poor igniti-
on properties
Better fusion of the base material du-
ring the start-up phase, meaning fewer
cold-shut defects
Largely prevents slag inclusions
