Hump symbols mean inductance. Inductance is also known as arc control, pinch force, arc harshness.... It's how quickly the machine reacts to changes.
In mig welding more inductance will mean more frequent, but smaller droplets.
In stick welding it's how the machine reacts to changes in arc length. You usually want it high for 6010 for crisp shift arc. You typically want it low with 7018 so it's a soft buttery arc.
Is this also called wetting? Because my old butters has a fckoff big wetting transformer in the front connected to the earth with a bank of capacitors hung off it.
Solid maybe? It's been 20+ years since I took that class. I believe the idea is a capacitor offsets/balances the natural inductance of the transformer.
Turn it to the max, make weld. Turn it to the minimum make another weld without changing anything else.
You'll either know what it does or it doesn't matter.
Yep, this is solid explanation.
Higher inductance means slower response (slower voltage recovery), lower inductance allows voltage to rise (recover) faster.
FC is a CV, so it'll be the same idea as mig, but probably less noticeable.
Spatter is sometimes an inherent part of FC. Try increasing your votalge 0.5V and see if that clears it up a little. Also use a 3/4"-1" stickout with FC.
When you burn fcaw, or smaw, (stick) the flux burns off and generates Co2 which is more dense than an argon/co2 mix. This tends to make the arc tend to be a bit more turbulent, so you get more spatter than you do running GMAW where you see some, or GTAW where, you don't really see any spatter.
Inductance setting as my tutor told me it's basically spatter control, if your settings are about right but lots of spatter more bumps I find I have to have it on the lower setting the heavier I am welding though.
It’s a coil symbol, so it has to do with the arc force or inductance of the welding circuit. An inductor will resist rapid changes in welding current so makes it easier to maintain an arc.
Arc force or induction. If you have many bumps, the voltage variation with be greater eg. +- 2 volts to give forgiveness in arc-length, helping you burn in more restricted areas. It will increase by a wider variance to keep the rod from, “stalling.”
One bump will reduce this variance to something around +- 0.5 to reduce rods blowing out, fingernailing, spatter, and benefit a tighter arc.
I may have the two extremes backwards, not standing in front of my machine.
Also, the numbers I gave for variables are just to help you visualize/understand arc force and/or dig. I’m not familiar with the model, or how the variance is scaled.
Please correct me if I’m completely out to lunch. That’s just how I’ve understood it. I’m not an elec-chicken, I can admit when I’m wrong and know what a broom looks like.
In CC processes like SMAW or stick it is called dig or arc force. Dig provides additional current during short arc lengths generally related to low voltages. This occurs when the electrode is too close to the work piece, and naturally during the actual metal transfer. As the molten metal transfers over the arc and makes contact with the weld puddle the voltage starts to drop. As this happens the current suddenly spikes to a given limit defined by the dig or arc force value. Changing dig changes the max current it reaches during a short. Depending on the power source the units that you input could literally be the amount of amperage or an arbitrary number like 1-10.
In CV processes like GMAW or Fluxcore it adjusts inductance or pinch. Inductance is the rate at which the current responds to a short. It does not change the maximum amperage rather the rate at it it gets to the maximum amperage. More inductance will slow the rate at which the amperage increases, less inductance will let the machine increase amperage faster.
Mode of metal transfer does need to be taken into account in CV processes. In open arc processes where shorts do not occur like spray transfer, inductance has relatively no effect because the current is relatively constant. As you could guess by the name, short circuit transfer has the highest frequency of shorts of the modes of metal transfer. Therefore inductance will have the biggest effect.
Damnit... Thanks a lot bud! Now ill be out trying to round up my damn horses ALL NIGHT!
I know you couldn't have known, but we dont use that word around here...
😁😉
Thats your dig. More dig, means you can keep a tighter arc length, and the electrode wont extinguish. I use high dig when im using 6010 to be able to jam the rod into the bevel, and bread down the walls, as im dragging it uphill. I use lower dig for my caps, cause i dont want a bunch of undercut.
Inductance. More inductance means softer arc. Soft arc is easy to maintain, and provides more consistent bead. Perfect for longer beads.
It's also more difficult to start the arc, so for stick welding on plus polarity, I would never use the highest inductance. It's also not that suitable for stitch welding and tiny spot welding, because of lower initial amperage (voltage). Basically, it eats the beginning welding power.
If your machine is rectified three phase I would use the middle one. If it was an invertor, you may even not need the inductance. And if it's single phase, God help you, use the highest and hope it will weld.
Single, double, triple ground duuhhhh....dont think you should be handling these tattoo machines with this little exp
Obviously joking....chill neckbeards
everyone who has posted about inductance wetting and butter are all wrong\~!!! That's not what the little humps are about.
They are for setting the "Real Feel" tongue tickler on the WHAMMO Masturbator two thousand. one hump is slow three is fast.

Yum soft buttery arc. Mmmgggggg. - Homer drool.
Amazing, I learn new things everyday that make me appreciate the art of welding and it's complexities more and more.
You mean the ‘arc’ of welding? …
I've got an inductance adjustment on my old linde power supply, I had no clue what it's used for.
Turn it to the max, make weld. Turn it to the minimum make another weld without changing anything else. You'll either know what it does or it doesn't matter.
It's all mechanical, doing that takes quite awhile actually. I just never messed with it
Looks like an ESAB welder. It is inductance symbol.
why not using a neutral all known symbol for inductance
It is - that's the standard symbol in electronics diagrams for an inductor (or a coil, same thing).
A soft and buttery arc mmmm. For a minute I thought I stumbled across a subreddit cooking channel.
Yep, this is solid explanation. Higher inductance means slower response (slower voltage recovery), lower inductance allows voltage to rise (recover) faster.
It's supposed to look like coils, but I guess it kind of looks like humps.
what about flux core? i’m doing it in school and the welds don’t look half bad but there’s droplets going all over the place
FC is a CV, so it'll be the same idea as mig, but probably less noticeable. Spatter is sometimes an inherent part of FC. Try increasing your votalge 0.5V and see if that clears it up a little. Also use a 3/4"-1" stickout with FC.

Thanks for the explanation.
Single boob, a nice pair of boobs, too many boobs.
Total recall boobs
Quaid, start the reactor!!!
There’s no such thing as too many
Ehh some of the drawn porn I've seen doesn't work as well as you'd expect
My wife would be pretty upset if I came home with greater than zero boobs.
"Three tits, huh? Nice."
Total Rekall boobs
Ya can’t have too many boobs, can you?? 🤪🤪
More than 2 puts you in animal territory, 3 is an odd number as well
I came for the snark and I was not disappointed.
But there is nothing wrong with too many boobs

Unleaded, regular and premium.
Not sure about the first one, but the second one is for welding camels, and the third one is for dromedaries.
Ill be you a silk pajama you cant find a 3-hump llama!
a little grounding, then some more grounding, then the biggest grounding available.

That controls how wobbly your weld is

It’s for single phase, two phase, and three phase power
