Setting of the Power Supply The settings of the Firepower FP 95 FC requires some practice by the operator in that the welding Power Supply has two control settings that need to balance. These are the Wire Speed control and the Voltage Control switches. The welding current is determined by the Wire Speed control (i.e., the current will increase with increased wire speed, resulting in a shorter arc). -
