DESCRIPTION
This Constant Voltage control panel is designed for use with the BIG 30 DIESEL, BIG 30A DIESEL, BIG 40 DIE-
SEL, BIG 40G, and BIG 50 DIESEL welding generator models.
The CV-2 expands capabilities of the welding generator to include constant voltage dc and single–phase ac weld output selections. A switch is provided for making the ac selection or for changing the dc polarity. In addition, the
5-socket and 14-socket Amphenol receptacles on this panel provide a junction point with the unit internal circuitry for connecting equipment used in Shielded Metal
Arc (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc (GMAW), Flux Cored Arc
(FCAW), and Gas Tungsten Arc (GTAW) Welding processes.
A 1 ft. (254 mm) adapter cord with 2-prong and 3-socket plugs to a 14-pin Amphenol plug is required to provide
CV-2 connection capability to wire feed equipment using an interconnecting cord with 2-socket and 3-prong twistlock plugs. Other adapter cords and extension cords with different plug combinations can be obtained for connecting various welding system devices and controls to the CV-2 receptacles.

Figure 6-3. Tungsten Preparation
Shape tungsten electrodes on a fine grit, hard abrasive wheel used only for tungsten shaping. Grind tungsten electrodes so that grinding marks run lengthwise with the electrode. These procedures reduce the possibility of the tungsten electrode transferring foreign matter into the weld and help reduce arc wander.
Grind the end of the tungsten electrode to a taper for a distance of 2 to 2–1/2 electrode diameters in length. For example, the ground surface for a 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) diameter tungsten electrode should be 1/4 to 5/16 in. (6.4
to 8.0 mm) long.
For additional information, see your distributor for a handbook on the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process.
