It may use hot electrodes as when it touches the workpiece the feeding starts automatically.

The hopper gun has a soft switch to start the weld. The amount of flux to feed depends upon the height of the gun held above the working station. The gravity comes into action for the flux feeding. The bottom of the hopper has an outlet for the electrode wire through a current pickup terminal of the arc. A small hopper for the flux is attached to the end of the cable assembly. This part of the equipment needs to carry the electrode and even flux to the site of the arc. With AC type equipment, the use of multiple electrodes is possible in specialized types of applications. The extra power can be achieved by joining both in parallel. The direct current equipment suits semi-automatic applications while alternating current power source fit for the automation only. The submerged arc welding machineavailable in the range from 300 amperes to 1500 amperes.

The fixed speed wire feeder uses a constant voltage while the CV system drives with direct current.īoth the process DC generator and AC transformer may be used but rectifier machines are more popular. The voltage sensing wire feeder must be used when a constant current of ac/dc applies. General power sources with a 60% duty cycle may get derated according to the duty cycle curve of 100%. The SAW welding process is continuous and the length of one weld may go up to 10 minutes. We need a power source for this submerged arc welding at a 100% duty cycle.
