SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

3.05 Gouging Operation Settings

“Table 3-12: Operating Parameters”” shows recommended operating amperage by electrode sizes. The travel

speeds listed for each size carbon and gouge depth were derived in the laboratory using a 1500 amp Power Supply.

Your results may vary depending on the arc current, voltage and other parameters you use.
