Question

identify part a on the smaw system in the figure below.
electrode
electrode cable
work cable
welding power source
work clamp
electrode holder

Explanation:

Identify the component labeled A

Using the Welding Power Sources and SMAW knowledge points
The diagram illustrates a Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) setup. Label A points directly to the main blue machine box, which provides the electrical current and voltage necessary to maintain the welding arc. This machine is the welding power source.

Match with options

Using the Welding Power Sources knowledge point

• A: Welding power source
• B: Work cable
• C: Work clamp
• D: Electrode
• E: Electrode holder
• F: Electrode cable

Therefore, Part A is the welding power source.

Answer:

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