True Energy™ Report
The True Energy™ report shows both the True Energy™ and the total arc time for the welds made by the
power source(s) you have selected in the Asset Tree. True Energy™ is a Lincoln Electric technology that
uses the digital control system embedded in each Power Wave® power source to measure and calculate the
instantaneous amount of energy put into a weld. The energy is defined as:

NOTE | The True Energy™ report is available for both a single
Welding Power Source and a Container of power sources.
Figure 5.18 Production Report: True Energy™
The top half of the report is a graph that displays the average True Energy™ put into the welds made during
each Period in the list below the graph. It also overlays the total arc time used to calculate the True
Energy™ for those welds. The Period depends on the selections made on the Criteria window. See page
5.11 for details on the fields of the Criteria window.
The bottom half of the report is a tabular list of the data. On the right, the system also displays the criteria
used to generate the data. Table 5.10 explains the columns on this report in more detail.
