* Maximum number of characteristics (TransSteel 3000 C Pulse), will vary depending on the version.
The new TransSteel 3000C Pulse marks the arrival of the pulsed arc in the TransSteel series. The setting is simply selected from the main menu and facilitates controlled welding in the intermediate arc range.
Spot mode enables you to place welding spots at regular intervals. As you have complete flexibility over the pause time between the intervals, spot welding is ideal for the tacking of workpieces. Stitch welding not only produces a rippled seam appearance, the low level of heat input reduces any possible material distortion when working with light gage sheets.
The “Special 4-step mode” is particularly suitable for welding in the higher power range. In special 4-step mode, welding starts at a lower power, which makes the arc easier to stabilize.
The “SynchroPulse” option is recommended for the welding of aluminum alloys when a rippled seam appearance is required. This effect is achieved by modifying the welding power between two operating points.
! SynchroPulse works in Standard Synergic and Pulse Synergic Mode – but only on the TransSteel 3000C Pulse
/ Steel is the universal characteristic for quick and easy welding applications.
/ Steel root is the characteristic specifically developed for root pass welding. It is characterized by particularly strong gap-bridging ability, in other words, the ability to fill wide gaps.
/ Steel dynamic is a characteristic with a particularly hard and concentrated arc, resulting in high welding speeds and deep penetration.
/ PCS (Pulse Controlled Spray Arc) characteristics* facilitate a combination of intermediate and spray arcs – the result is deep penetration with minimal spattering.

The arc length correction and arc-force dynamic welding parameters can be used to optimize the welding result.
– shorter arc, reduced welding voltage
o neutral arc
+ longer arc, increased welding voltage
– hard, stable arc
o neutral arc
+ soft, low-spatter arc
– Slower droplet detachment force
o neutral droplet detachment force
+ higher droplet detachment force
Pulse welding is primarily used for out-of-position welding or when welding especially thin materials. The pulse setting range is from 1 Hz to 990 Hz.
The weld pool is made to oscillate by means of pulse currents. This makes it easier to tack components together and reduces the tacking time. The pulsed arc facilitates the process with very thin materials, since the temperatures are slightly lower in the phases with less current.
The highly accurate touchdown ignition is on a par with high frequency ignition and contributes towards user-friendliness.
TransSteel automatically calculates the duration of the optimal gas post-flow time according to the set welding current. This improves the gas shield of the weld seam end and tungsten electrode.
If a short circuit occurs (electrode sticking during electrode welding), the welding process is switched off immediately. This prevents electrode burn-out and/or serious weld seam faults.
In order to make the electrode easier to ignite, the current is increased for a split second during ignition on the power source.
If basic electrodes are welded with coarse droplet material transfer at a low current (underloaded), there is a risk of sticking. To rule this out, more current is supplied for fractions of a second just before sticking. The electrode burns free, preventing sticking.
