ΔU2 - The rate of change of welding voltage.
7.5 Change rate of wire feeding speed
7.5.1 The rate of change of wire feeding speed is carried out without welding.
The hose, between the wire feeder and the welding torch (gun), remains straight.
7.5.2 For this test, measure the following two states, respectively, in the three
cases where the power supply voltage is 90%, 100%, 110% of the rated value.
a) Maximum wire feeding speed and minimum welding wire diameter;
