Conversion for the letters/numbers in the Lincoln 175-plus application chart?

admin

Here is the chart on the inside of my lincoln - is there a way to know what the actual voltage and WFS is ?

Reply:Wire feed speed can be measured by running out the wire for exactly 6 seconds, measuring how much came out and multiplying by 10. Then jot that down somewhere, or even on the door chart. You will want to do it on every voltage tap, as the speed changes slightly as the voltage changes. The voltage can be measured by using a multi-meter or volt meter wired across the output studs (where you would change your polarity). You will probably want to have someone watch as you are welding because every tap will offer a range of voltages as you vary the wire feed speed. and it likely isn't terribly linear either. For example, this is the volt amp chart from a Hobart Ironman 230 which has 12 different voltage settings (your machine WILL be different)
