Welding Operation; No Crater; Crater - Panasonic YC-300BP2YAF Operating Instructions Manual

6.4 Welding operation

DANGER
• The on/off operation of the torch switch enables you to
perform welding as shown in the following diagram.
• Turn the torch switch on with the torch put close to base
material, the high frequency wave comes first, and arc
follows.
• In the case of AC TIG welding and MIX TIG welding,
adjust the AC balance according to the conditions of an
object to be welded.

*1: When the torch switch is turned OFF (= self-hold starts), the "Up slope" starts.
*2: When the torch switch is turned ON (=self-hold ends), the "Down slope" starts.
*3: When the torch switch is turned OFF, the "Post-flow" starts.

• Pressing the torch switch by mistake may cause an electric shock.
• When inspecting or replacing any torch parts, make sure to turn the power
switch off in advance.

<Regarding the following diagrams>
• The following diagrams presume the employment of
DC welding. They are based on the premise that each
time period for the pre-flow/post-flow and the up-slope/
down-slope is set to any value other than "0".
• They assume that the output current is set to pulse
"present". (In the case of pulse "absent", there should
be no pulse current or pulse width.)
