welding will result.
A way to verify the proper phase angle and phase sequence is to measure the A.C. voltage at the welding nozzles.
1. Do not weld during the voltage measurements. Back the electrode out of each wire drive, then press the NA-4 start
buttons.
CAUTION - Voltage will be high between the two electrode nozzles.
2. Voltage readings between nozzles to work, and nozzle to nozzle should be per table:

If voltages do not agree, recheck all wiring and the proper sequence of the input supply lines.

If using the 90
phase angle connection, the phase sequence cannot be determined by voltage measurement. To determine
the phase sequence use one of the following methods.
1. Use a phase meter.
2. Use an oscilloscope.
3. Temporarily reconnect the machine to either the 100 o tap or the 80 o tap and check the voltage per note 2.
