1.1.2 Voltage connections

It is important to remember that unless measuring the voltage at the welding head or torch, all

measured voltage will include the voltage drop across the cables. So, if a procedure is qualified using

3m cables but in production uses 6m cables the voltage measured at the power source will be

different.

AMV3500 will display the voltage magnitude when displaying digital values, it is only in

OSCILLOSCOPE mode that polarity of voltage is shown. For all calculations the magnitude is used.

1.1.2.1 Voltage clips

These are the simplest way to connect to any power source. Generally, one side on the earth clamp

and, if MIG/ MAG welding the other on the wire feed unit.

1.1.2.2 Dinse connectors

Dinse connectors provide a convenient way to measure

welding voltage. These are particularly applicable to TIG and

MMAW welding.

1.1.3 Wire Feed Sensor

Clip the wire feed sensor around the welding wire and

connect to the AMV3500.
