Where
The efficiency is dependent on the welding process used. The efficiency of the shielded metal arc
welding process is about 75%.

Example No. 1
Calculate the heat input in a manual metal arc welding process if the
current = 150 amps, the voltage = 22 volts and the welding speed = 50
mm/min?? Assume the efficiency is about 75%.
Solution:
V x I x 60

Example No. 2
Calculate the voltage required for a manual metal arc welding process if the current =
150 amps, the heat input = 2.97 kJ/mm and the welding speed = 50 mm/min?? Assume
the efficiency is 75%.
Solution:
V x I x 60
