RECOMMENDED WORK CABLE
SIZES FOR ARC WELDING
A work cable is provided with the POWER WAVE®
C300 CE. This cable is appropriately sized for all of
the POWER WAVE® C300 CEʼs welding procedures.
If the work cable needs to be replaced a similar quality
of cable should be used as excessive voltage drops
caused by undersized welding cables can result in
unsatisfactory welding performance. Always use the
largest work cables that is practical, and be sure all
connections are clean and tight.
Note: Excessive heat in the weld circuit indicates
undersized cables and/or bad connections.
REMOTE SENSE LEAD SPECIFICA-
TIONS
Since the POWER WAVE® C300 CE has the ability to
be in close proximity to the welding arc, the POWER
WAVE® C300 CE does not require the use of remote
sense leads.
INSTALLATION
SEMI-AUTOMATIC WELDING

POLARITY

The Fast Mate adapter is permanently wired for
Electrode Positive welding for all GMAW and FCAW
processes.
The polarity for GTAW and SMAW processes is
determined by connecting the electrode lead to either
the + or – output stud on the front of the machine
