Topmig switch positions ??

rtbcomp · Dec 1, 2006

Does anybody know what the currents the switch positions 1 to 6 refer to on a SIP Topmig 195 ?

Also is there a table anywhere that correlates current, workpiece thickness and wire gauge ?

Can't help much with the switch positions, for wire sizes and stuff try the following link

Plenty of other good tips there as well

Useful thickness guide there Cappy. Miller also have a MIG calculator which gives amps against metal thickness: http://www.millerwelds.com/education/calculators/mig_solid_amperage_calculator.php

No idea how you could find/measure the amps for the SIP though.

Thanks Cappy & Malcolm, very interesting. I didn't realise that rate of feed affected the welding current, that exlains a lot.
