C-Factor

C-Factor (or Capacity Factor) is a parameter, which is used to track changes in the weld tooling. C-Factor is calculated by determining the amount of total capacity utilized to create the target current and dividing this value by the actual current created. The C-Factor feature can be used as a maintenance tool to monitor weld tooling degradation and current shunting paths (primary or secondary).
