Best Answer

because the current is regulated rather than the voltage

all the motions are controlled by movement that has been programmed.

you cant see whats going on with the arc so to make adjustments you have to reprogram the motion after you stop and see what happened.

perhaps you can set it for constant voltage and get better results.

perhaps constant voltage is better for different materials.

most smaller wire feeds are constant voltage which tends to keep the arc length constant.

the operator can watch what he doing if he can see the arc and can make all manner of small adjustments. without reprogramming the controls.

stick welding is possible because you can watch what you are doing to keep arc length constant the machines are almost always constant current

Types of antenna?

There are many types of antennas, to many to mention, here is a list of the most commonly used:Unidirectional Types:First the most common is the, 1/4 wave whip.Following types is popular for CB and HamThe 1/2 wave dipole, two 1/4 wave wires or whips in line and center fed1/2 wave folded dipole, two 1/2 wave wires inline folded back to the center also used for FM reception.1/4 wave ground plain, a 1/4 wave whip with 3 or more horizontal ground plain elements (Balanced)1/2 wave ground plain, a 1/2 wave whip with 3 or more horizontal ground plain elements (Balanced)5/8 wave ground plain, a 5/8 wave whip with 3 or more horizontal ground plain elements but it need L/C turning where the transmission line enters the antenna at the bottom to balance itSemi DirectionalThe radio ham's use the long wire antenna for long wave medium and short wave, it is a full wave length of wire, spanned horizontal between two poles or even trees or buildings center or end fed where the transmission line is connected to the center or the end of the wire.The inverted V, is two 1/2 or 1/4 wave wires spanned from the top of a pole in an inverted v and anchored to the ground.Directional types:Multi element Yagi, very popular with radio ham's and TV receptionThe quad loop, or cubical quad, also popular under radio ham'sThe helical coil that is very popular in the higher frequency range because of it's compactness.The Parabolic disk that is used mostly for WiFi, microwave and satellite communicationThe Printed PCB loop that is used in remote controls and cell phones, it is a printed track on the PCB in many configurations and shapes, it is also used for blue tooth dongles Etc.
