Hello,
The electrode I have been using is a 3/32" 2% Thoriated. Do you think
the Dynasty 200 DX unit is malfunctioning? Here are the specifics:
Input power is Single Phase 220VAC on 50Amp circuit (Upgraded from
30Amp circuit)
DC Polority
Measured -16VDC with the DCEN process
Argon Gas
Verified plug wiring.
Verified torch and ground connections
Diamondback torch
Coolmate 3
Peak A set to 70.
Thanks!

It's certainly possible that your machine isn't working right. 16
volts sounds quite low even with an arc running and way low for open
circuit voltage. That sounds more like a MIG machine at a low
setting.

Please log in for more thread options Thanks for all the help! Finally figured out the problem! The Dynasty
200 DX machine works great. The only problem was the guy holding the
torch. With some lessons from a very experienced professional all is
working. The most significant problem was the incorrect face shield
for the job. Its so much different than MIG or ARC welding. Plan to
buy new face shield with fixed gold shade of 11 with magnifier
followed by more hands on practicing.

The best investment by far you can make at this point is an autodark
welding mask.
Gunner can recommend best buys.
I've been welding for decades now, did plenty of it by head-nodding.
Then I got an autodark. If my Jackson autodark crapped out,
replacing it would be high priority.
