| - | Start amps is the current that will flow at the initiation of the arc, whether in conjunction with the HV/HF starter or not. A high value will help here, but will also cause significantly more heat to be introduced to the material being welded. The lowest value possible is always best. This will vary with differing scenarios. | + | Start amps is the current that will flow at the initiation of the arc, whether in conjunction with the HV/HF starter or not.
