Dual Inductor mig

by Mark
(AU)

I have got a unimig 250 that has 2 earth lead connections.
One is hi inductance & other is lower inductance.
Mainly use hi one, have tried low one with poor results.

What is the purpose of having 2 earth connections, instructions that came with welder are useless.

Any info welcomed.

-----------------------------------------------

inductance setting controls how soft or harsh the arc is..
depending on the gas used, thickness of metal etc,

Use low inductance with 100% CO2 on mild steel; use high inductance for use on stainless with mixed gas or on heavy materials. Use either terminal for aluminum spray MIG welding with an exceptionally smooth arc and great starts.
