I've been welding some steel on an htp inverter tig and i'm wondering if my observation is real or due to some other factor.
when welding dc, does anyone else notice that the arc is more stable and consistent on a transformer machine when compared with an inverter? i remember noticing a difference between an esab inverter from about 7 years ago vs. a miller synchrowave 351, and also my old linde c300. to me it felt like the transformer machines had smooth continuous arc with some inertia where as the inverters felt like the arc was a series of rapid sparks that would dance around.
does anyone else notice this? is the effect less noticeable when comparing different inverters?
