Recommended Output Inductance Tap Connections for Short-Arc Welding
Notes: The above chart shows the recommended output inductance tap connection for Mig Short Circuiting Transfer.
For Mig Spray Arc Transfer (stainless or carbon steel) - use low tap
For Flux Cored Wire (all types) - use low tap
NR - Not Recommended
* The best connection (high tap or low tap) depends on the specific welding application and personal preference.
