Measured value in the display for welding current A is arithmetic average value.
Measured voltage
Measured value in the display for arc voltage V is arithmetic average value.
5.13 TIG functions explanation
HF start
The HF start function initiates the arc by using a high frequency voltage pilot arc. This
will reduce the risk of tungsten contamination in the starts. The high frequency voltage
might disturb other electrical equipment in the surrounding area.
