    The correct answer is "Primary side." Welding power sources produce hazardous voltages, and the primary side refers to the input side of the power source where the electrical supply is connected. This side typically operates at higher voltages, making it more dangerous. The secondary side, on the other hand, refers to the output side where the welding current is generated and is generally at a lower voltage level. Therefore, the primary side poses a greater risk in terms of hazardous voltages.

    The power source used for G.T.A.W. is:

    • Constant potential

    • Constant arc voltage

    • Constant voltage

    • Constant current

    Correct Answer
    A. Constant current
    Explanation
    The power source used for G.T.A.W. (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) is constant current. In this welding process, a constant current power source is used to maintain a stable and consistent welding arc. Constant current ensures that the welding current remains the same regardless of changes in the arc length or other variables. This is important for achieving precise and controlled welds, especially when working with materials such as stainless steel or aluminum.

    In order to convert an alternating current to a direct current, it is necessary to use a:

    • Rectifier

    • Inductor

    • Reactor

    • Transformer

    Correct Answer
    A. Rectifier
    Explanation
    To convert an alternating current (AC) to a direct current (DC), a rectifier is required. A rectifier is an electrical device that converts AC to DC by allowing current to flow in only one direction. It typically consists of diodes that act as one-way valves for current, allowing the positive half of the AC waveform to pass while blocking the negative half. This process results in a unidirectional flow of current, effectively converting AC to DC. Therefore, a rectifier is necessary to convert AC to DC in electrical circuits.

    Stress cracking is most likely to occur when welding thick material. This is due to:

    • Undercutting and nicking

    • Decreased cooling effect

    • Hydrogen embrittlement

    • Increased cooling effect

    Correct Answer
    A. Increased cooling effect
    Explanation
    Stress cracking is most likely to occur when welding thick material because of the increased cooling effect. When thick material is welded, it takes longer for the heat to dissipate, causing the weld to cool at a slower rate. This slower cooling can lead to the formation of residual stresses in the material, which can result in stress cracking.
