Abstract:
Systems and methods for selecting a welding output waveform based on characterizing a welding circuit output path with respect to its electrical characteristics. At least one electrical characteristic (e.g., inductance, resistance) of a welding output circuit path connected to a welding power source is determined. A welding output waveform is selected from a plurality of welding output waveforms based on the determined electrical characteristics. As a result, the selected welding output waveform is matched to the welding output circuit path electrical characteristics to provide superior welding performance.

Claim (Index 16):
A welding system, comprising:\n a welding power source having a welding output; and a welding output circuit path connected to the welding output, wherein the welding output circuit path includes a welding tool, and a welding cable extending between the welding output and the welding tool, wherein the welding power source is configured to automatically estimate an inductance value of the welding output circuit path, and apply a welding output waveform to the welding output circuit path based upon the inductance value, and wherein the welding output waveform is compatible with rise and fall time limits of the welding output circuit path.
