What polarity is used for stick welding?

Reverse. Using a D C machine, electricity travels from the negative post to the positive post. Connecting the electrode holder to the positive post and the ground clamp to the negative post means the current flows from the work to the electrode - reverse polarity. In A C machines it doesn't matter which post the electrode holder is connected to.


What is the polarity for a Chrysler Town and Country battery?

Negative ground


Connected the house battery in a motor home wrong connected the positive and negative to the positive termimal and the ground to the negative Did I ruin the battery?

No, not the battery. But anything that has a diode, transistor or is in any other way dependent on polarity may be fried... including your alternator.


When welding with 7018 rod is the electrode holder positive and the ground negative?

Yes, the electrode holder (stinger) is positive and the ground is negative which means you would be welding DC positive.


What polarity is used for mild steel GTAW?

The only way to tig is to have your ground clamp hooked to the positive side of the welding machine. The negative lead will go to the tig torch. If it is reversed you will find out very quickly when you strike an arc. Most metals will be welded using this Polarity (straight). Most Aluminum TIG welding is performed using A C current.


When welding with DCEN the electrode is positive and the work is negative?

DCEN means Direct Current Electrode Negative. Hook the welding cable to the Positive connection (+) on the machine, the ground cable to the Negative connection (-) Electricity travels from Negative pole to Positive pole.


Do you connect the ground cable first on a car with a positive ground system when installing a battery?

No, the ground cable gets always disconnected first and connected last, regardless of ground polarity.


What do i do with the ground wire on my sony CD player?

You "ground" it or connect it to a negative source that is connected got the negative end of the battery


DC voltage has no polarity?

A DC voltage must have a polarity, however this polarity is always in reference to some common point and has no meaning on its own, the same with voltage. Usually this common point is the circuit ground, which may or may not be earth ground. Example: A household AA battery has a positive and a negative terminal, the positive terminal is +1.5v in relation to the negative terminal, and the negative terminal is -1.5v to the positive terminal.


Is Reverse polarity is when the ground and neutral are wired backwards?

If you are talking about an AC (alternating current) circuit, such as the house mains supply, "reverse polarity" usually means the "hot" and "neutral" wires from the supply have been connected to something the opposite way round to what they should be. If you are talking about a DC (direct current) circuit supplied by a battery, such as in a car, "reverse polarity" usually means the positive and negative leads from the battery have been connected to something the opposite way round to what they should be.


What are positive ground cars?

Cars in which the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the chassis. They require specially designed components built for positive ground cars. The usual configuration is a negative ground (the negative battery terminal connected to the car's chassis).


Can a 350 vortex motor start if ground is not connected to the battery?

Engine ground can find many paths to the battery, but if NOTHING is connected to the negative post... no, it won't start.
