2.04 Description
The Excel Arc
®
6045 (CC/CV) is a combination constant-current and constant-voltage transformer-rectifi er type
conventional DC welding machine that provides excellent welding characteristic for STICK (SMAW), LIFT TIG (GTAW),
submerged arc & GMAW/FCAW welding as well as carbon arc gouging (CAG).
Applications include Shipbuilding, Fabrication & Construction, Heavy Manufacturing, Rental Fleets, Pipe Welding,
Refi neries & Foundries, Railcar Manufacturing, Earth-Moving Equipment Manufacturing, Pressure Tank/Vessel
Fabrication.
NOTE
Volt-Ampere curves show the maximum Voltage and Amperage output capabilities of the welding power
source. Curves of other settings will fall between the curves shown.
