Question

In reverse polarity welding, electrode holder is-

A.

Connected to the positive and work to negative

B.

Connected to the negative and work to positive

C.

Earthed and work is negative

D.

Earthed and work is positive

Correct option is A

In reverse polarity welding, also known as Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), the electrode holder (or electrode) is connected to the positive terminal of the power source, and the workpiece is connected to the negative terminal. This setup causes electrons to flow from the workpiece to the electrode, resulting in more heat being generated at the electrode tip. This configuration is often used for welding thin metals and when deeper penetration is required because it produces a more stable arc and better control over the weld.
