Current/Voltage Report

The Current/Voltage report on the Weld Listing tab is useful for people such as Weld Engineers to analyze
the arc current and voltage going into welds for the various Weld Profiles they have created for the
Welding Power Source. You can generate the report for a single Welding Power Source or a Group of
power sources.

Figure 5.23 Weld Listing Report: Current/Voltage

The top half of the report is a graph of the average current and average voltage used for each individual
weld in the report.

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 5.15 explains the columns on the report in more detail.

Field

Description

Start of Weld

The Start of Weld column displays the date and specific time the Welding Power
Source began performing the weld.

If you want to see additional information about the individual weld, simply click
the underlined date and time. The system automatically generates a Weld
Detail
report for that weld (page 5.30).

Avg. Current

Hundreds of times per second, the Welding Power Source takes a measurement
of the arc current being used while the welder is active for this weld. When the
weld is complete, the power source averages those measurements together.
The Avg. Current column displays that average arc current value for this weld.

Avg. Voltage

Hundreds of times per second, the Welding Power Source takes a measurement
of the arc voltage while the welder is active for this weld. When the weld is
complete, the power source averages those measurements together. The Avg.
Voltage
column displays that average arc voltage value for this weld.
