Guide to Parallel Welding Machines & Underwater Cutting/Welding

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
