TFS: Understanding AC Balance

AC Balance is a very tricky topic to discuss. Most people have no idea where to start because none of it makes an sense. Luckily, Justin the Fabricator has an clear view of exactly what happens with the arc and machine during DCEN, DCEP, AC, and AC Balance cycles in this #TIGSimple series!

Music. Because we have to, and it's the right thing to do at the end of the day. I mean, people worked hard to put out this music just the same as we work extremely hard to put out good videos. What if you worked for 40 hours in one week only to give your coworker the credit and your pay? Not right! am I right? So here are the two groups out of 3 groups that we used in this video that wish to be recognized. Did you really read the description this far? Drop a comment below with the made up word "foxtrication" if you did. People may think you're weird, but I'll understand. Trust me, I got your back. Nobody will know what the hell it means unless they read the description like you did, but I will. Thanks for reading the description in full.

I have to say that this has to be the best TIG teaching resource I have ever come across. Absolutely no timewasting, gets straight to the point. The verbal instruction is professionally synchronised with very clear footage and graphics and presented at just the right pace to hold your attention. And he clearly knows what he's talking about. Justin, you are a credit to your industry.

that is probably the clearest explanation and graffics of what is happening I have seen. Thanks for the informative videos

Tony Bush Agree...plus he was using Ahp 200x Tig showing connections. One of the biggest issues I have is the work and how pure the aluminum is. Now understanding balance better, I should be able to get better results when welding two diff grades.

"A ball of snot in a sousing casing." I knew it would be a bad to put a chocolate marshmallow in my gob! A phenomenally well explained video, even I understood it! The graphics were amazing and really got what you were saying across. I would come to one of your classes but my doctor banned me from flying about 8 years ago and it takes a long time to sail from the U.K. Fantastic video, thank you.

Very Well done Justin. As Tony B. said, the graphics painted a very clear picture of what's going on. Even my college welding instructors didn't get it through my thick skull that nicely. Kudos, my friend.

THANK YOU.. I've asked so many people to technically explain what it is "balancing": Whether it's frequency or if it's adjusting the amplitude. So "balancing is essentially changing the duty cycle. Interesting stuff

@garymanser9723 6 жыл бұрын

This is a very good explanation. The only thing that could be added is why electrons travel from negative to positive. The answer as you probably already know is that electrons are a negatively charged particle and therefore attracted to the positive side (I.e. the side with fewer electrons). I leave it the you to decide if this will helps or hinders the explanation. Regards, Gary.

To much fun with gas I've never really understood why Miller doesn't have solid info on the subject when they're the ones who created AC balance control. Still not sure why it's on the negative side either, but I heard a cool story a while back about it being a goof that stuck.

Love that balance explanation. When I was getting used to playing with it I did some cast valve covers that I could not get why it looked like hot garbage. Figured bad cast... turns out I was playing with balance the wrong way at 90/10. Once I got back to 70/30 it went like butter. Great visuals, I'll share it with my learning tog buds.
