How to Put Two Welding Machines in Parallel
When using two welding machines in parallel, a parallel switch with a minimum capacity of 300 amperes is required. This necessitates the use of a double-pole safety switch. Adjusting two variable power machines for parallel operation involves two phases:
Phase 1: Current Adjustment
Each machine should be configured to deliver the same current when operating in parallel, with each machine providing half of the total current.
Phase 2: Voltage Adjustment
The open

HTML (HyperText Markup Language)
HTML is the foundation of the web. It’s a markup language that allows you to create web pages. WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors make it easy to create HTML documents without needing to know the code.
Key Concepts in HTML:
- Web Template: A pre-designed layout for a web page.
- Link: A connection from text or graphics to another web page or resource.
- Frames: Subdivisions on a web page allowing for the display of multiple content sections.

How to Connect Two Welding Machines in Parallel. When you want to connect two welding machines in parallel, you must use a parallel switch with a capacity of at least 300 amperes. For this, you need a double-pole safety switch. Adjusting two variable power machines for parallel operation involves two phases:
- Each machine should be prepared to send the same amount of current when working in parallel, with each machine sending half of the total current.
- The open circuit voltage of both machines should
