    Design and function Machine configuration menu 5.12.1 Aligning the cable resistance The resistance value of cables can either be set directly or it can be aligned using the power source. The factory setting of the power sources is 8 mΩ. This value correponds to a 5 m earth cable, a 1.5 m inter- mediate hose package and a 3 m water-cooled welding torch.
