MIG power sources, calibration of the arc voltage feedback
The arc voltage input can be calibrated using trimming potentiometers R87 and R103 on
circuit board 20AP1. The board has been calibrated in the factory: further adjustment
should not normally be necessary.
Circuit diagram of the arc voltage input
Check that there is a jumper across connectors Y2 - Y3: see the circuit diagram above.
Connect a wire feed unit to the power source. Connect long welding current cables, to give
an appreciable voltage drop in the cables. Connect a wire to the feed rollers, and connect
an external voltmeter, as shown in the diagrams on next page. Set the power source to MIG
short arc welding mode, and apply a resistive load to give a current of 100 A at 25 - 30 V.
Start the power source from the welding gun trigger contact and adjust the current by
changing the wire feed speed setting. Adjust the voltage by varying the load resistor.
Use an accurately calibrated external voltmeter to measure the output voltage of the
power source.
