dcep, negative

Explanation:

Identify the definition of reverse polarity

In arc welding, "reverse polarity" refers to Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP).

Determine the electrode terminal connection

Since DCEP stands for Direct Current Electrode Positive, the electrode is connected to the positive output terminal of the power source.

Match with the given options

The correct combination is DCEP and Positive.

Answer:

• DCEN, Positive
