Home/Technical Glossary/Constant Power Constant Power Constant power works by measuring the voltage across and current drawn by the load. Current control circuits are used to accurately control output current of a power supply and can be used for applications with significant variations in electrical resistance from weld to weld, including applications where the plating erodes and builds-up on the face of the welding electrodes. Constant power mode: Varies current and voltage for consistent energy Breaks up surface oxides and plating Is ideal for automation to extend electrode life For more information, read our paper on High Frequency Inverter Feedback Modes
