Operation
The start circuit is a high-speed switch that quickly transfers the pilot arc current from the pilot arc load to the
work load. The start circuit performs 2 functions:
1. It allows the initial pilot arc current to flow through the pilot arc lead quickly, with little impedance.
2. After initial pilot arc current is established, the start circuit introduces impedance to the pilot arc load to
aid in transferring the arc current to the workpiece. See schematic on following page.
Pilot Arc Current Levels
The pilot arc current level will change depending on the chosen process and arc current level. See table below.
