Penetration stabilizer
An additional wire control keeps the current and penetration constant if the distance between the welding torch and the component changes. The arc becomes significantly more stable and the penetration is much more constant. On standard MIG/MAG devices without a penetration stabilizer, the welding current, and thereby the welding power, drops if the distance changes. If the penetration is insufficient, there may be a lack of fusion. If the penetration is too great, the weld seam may drop through on thin sheets, as the welding current increases.
