CWB Level 2 Study Modules 4-5-6-7-8--22 Questions and Answers Rated A During arc welding there is a zone adjacent to the weld metal that reaches high temperatures but does not melt. What is the name of this region? Heat Affect Zone (HAZ) In parallel electrical circuits, the voltage across each resistor is the same since each path is connected to the same voltage source. Select the correct statement. A. in each parallel path the resistance must be equalized to create equal voltage. B. the current flowing in each parallel path must be the same as the voltage. C. the current flowing in each parallel path depends on the resistance in each path D. the current flowing in each parallel path depends on the capacitance in each path C. the current flowing in each parallel path depends on the resistance in each path Welding is a joining process that by definition requires: The application of either heat or pressure The duty cycle of a welding power supply is based upon delivering its rated output for a given number of minutes. Which of the following statements is correct. A. a 300 amp/60% duty cycle machine is rated to deliver 300 amps for 6 minutes in a ten minute period B. a 300 amp/30% duty cycle machine is rated to deliver 300 amps in a ten minute period C. a 250 amp/30% duty cycle machine is rated to deliver 250 amps for 30 minutes separated by 10 minutes at rest D. a 300 amp/60% duty cycle machine is rated to deliver 500 amps maximum for 6 minutes in a ten minute period A. a 300 amp/60% duty cycle machine is rated to deliver 300 amps for 6 minutes in a ten minute period Conventional transformer-rectifiers; A. convert direct current into alternating current B. convert alternating current into direct current C. convert alternating current into pulsed current D. convert direct current into pulsed current B. convert alternating current into direct current A conventional diode placed in a circuit allows the passage of current in one direction only. A silicon controlled rectifier(SCR) operates slightly differently. How does it work? A. an SCR conducts current in both directions until turned on and current flow is then prevented B. an SCR is non-conductive until turned onland then allows current to flow in both directions C. an SCR is non-conductive until turned on, allowing current to flow in one direction only until the flow of current stops D. an SCR is a unique rectifying device which allows only alternating c1:1rrent to flow until turned off C. an SCR is non-conductive until turned on, allowing current to flow in one direction only until the flow of current stops What is the term for voltage measured across the output terminals of a welding machine when no current is being drawn? A. diode voltage B. operating voltage C. open circuit voltage D. terminal voltage C. open circuit voltage A 60% duty cycle means that the power supply can deliver its rated output for: A 60% of the rated output only B. 60% over the rated output followed by 4 minutes at rest C. 6 minutes at rest followed by 4 minutes at rated output D. 6 minutes at rated output followed by 4 minutes at rest D. 6 minutes at rated output followed by 4 minutes at rest The DC output of a single phase power supply can be "ripply" and does not produce the friendliest DC arc. How is this problem overcome? A. single phase power supplies produce the smoothest DC of all common machines B. a third transformer is added to the output circuit to filter out instability C. a capacitor or capacitor bank is added to the output circuit D. a 'dual' rectifier bridge is used to filter the transformer output C. a capacitor or capacitor bank is added to the output circuit One of the simplest ways of controlling the output of a welding transformer is to change the efficiency of coupling between the primary and secondary coils. How can this be done? A slide a piece of wood between the primary and the secondary coils B. design the transformer with either a moving core or moving primary coils C. design the transformer with a number of taps to select different output curves D. use the timed firing of SCR's to control total conduction time B. design the transformer with either a moving core or moving primary
