What is the difference between DCEN and DCEP in welding?
Evaluate responses using AI:
OFF
Answer explanation
DCEN stands for Direct Current Electrode Negative, where the electrode is negative and the workpiece is positive. DCEP stands for Direct Current Electrode Positive, where the electrode is positive and the workpiece is negative.
