Site Wire Feeders FAQs

Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing and using portable site wire feeders.

What does CC/CV mean on a wire feeder?

CC stands for constant current, the output type of stick and TIG power sources, and CV stands for constant voltage, the output type normally used for MIG welding. A CC/CV feeder is designed to work with either kind of power source.

This means you can often use a feeder with a stick-type machine, an engine-driven welder or a MIG power source, as long as the machine has a suitable DC output and enough current. Always check the feeder maker's list of suitable power sources before connecting it.

What is an arc voltage (voltage-sensing) feeder?

It is a feeder that takes its power and control signal from the welding output itself, by sensing the arc voltage, rather than from a separate mains supply or a multi-core control cable. The motor speed follows the voltage the feeder sees at the arc.

The benefit is simplicity: you connect the welding lead to the feeder, a lead to the work, and the gas hose, and it is ready to go. It makes a good portable set-up for site and fabrication work, and for use with engine-driven welders.

When would I use a site wire feeder instead of a normal MIG welder?

A site feeder suits jobs where the power source is heavy or fixed and the welding is some distance away, such as on structures, ships, large fabrications and construction sites. Only the light suitcase-style feeder has to be carried to the weld, not the whole machine.

It is also a way to use a robust power source for flux-cored wire in tough conditions. The reach is limited by the length and size of the welding lead, so a very long run needs a heavier cable.

How do I set up the voltage and wire speed on a voltage-sensing feeder?

How you set it depends on how the feeder is connected and the type of power source. With a constant-voltage source, the voltage is usually set on the power source and the wire speed on the feeder. With a constant-current source, the feeder speed control mainly decides the arc voltage and the current together.

Follow the maker's instructions for the combination you are using, then make small adjustments while welding a test piece. Listen for a steady crackle, and look for a stable arc and a smooth bead.
