Output Power (cont.)<br />
Typical open circuit voltage for the SMAW process is 60 to<br />
80 Volts.<br />
Typical <strong>arc</strong> voltage (while <strong>weld</strong>ing) is 23 to 27 volts. A<br />
short <strong>arc</strong> gap will cause the number to be lower and a long<br />
<strong>arc</strong> gap will cause it to be higher.<br />
The amperage is set by the knob on the SMAW machine<br />
and typically ranges from about 60 amps to 200 amps.<br />
A recommended amperage range is available for every<br />
type and size <strong>of</strong> rod. Then you adjust up or down from the<br />
middle <strong>of</strong> the range depending on <strong>weld</strong>ing position,<br />
desired depth <strong>of</strong> penetration, joint type, etc..
