For Direct Current Electrode Posi-
tive (DCEP), connect work cable to
Negative (–) terminal and electrode
holder to Positive (+) terminal.
For Direct Current Electrode nega-
tive (DCEN), reverse cable con-
nections.

* This chart is a general guideline and may not suit all applications. If cable overheating occurs (normally you can smell it), use next size larger
cable.
**Weld cable size (AWG) is based on either a 4 volts or less drop or a current density of at least 300 circular mils per ampere.
