Question

identify part b on the smaw system in the figure below.

electrode
electrode holder
work clamp
electrode cable
work cable
welding power source

Explanation:

Identify the SMAW system components

Using the SMAW and Welding Power Sources knowledge points

• A: Welding power source (the main machine unit).
• B: Work cable (ground cable connecting the power source to the work clamp).
• C: Work clamp (ground clamp attached to the workpiece).
• D: Electrode (the consumable welding rod).
• E: Electrode holder (the insulated handle holding the electrode).
• F: Electrode cable (cable connecting the power source to the electrode holder).

Determine the label for Part B

Using the SMAW knowledge point

• Line B points directly to the cable connecting the welding power source to the work clamp (C).
• Therefore, Part B is the Work cable.

Answer:

• Electrode
• Electrode holder
• Work clamp
• Electrode cable
• Work cable (Correct answer)
• Welding power source
