CHAPTER 3: USING PROGRAMMING FUNCTIONS
IS-300CA INVERTER POWER SUPPLY
990-418 3-29
NOTE: Current shutoff function. The current shutoff function shuts off current when the proper
weld penetration is achieved — for example, during fusing — thus preventing excessive
penetration. (Refer to the figure below.)

The WE1STOP signal shuts off current immediately when input during the WE1 period,
switching the sequence to
COOL1. The WE1STOP signal shuts off current immediately after
the WE1 starts (the current is supplied for about 1 cycle) when input before the WE1 period,
switching the sequence to
COOL1. The WE1STOP signal will not shut off current if input during
the
WE2 or WE3 period.
