Hi guys-
sorry this isnt PLC related but i know there is a lot of guys here that could answer this with all their electrical knowledge.
The company i work for has recently required we purchase DC ONLY welders for any work done in a wet/damp environment. I am a bit confused since current is current whether it be AC or DC. I have also heard its easier to "get off" when being shocked if it is AC. Mostly due to the wave going + t0 -.
Just looking for an explination and possibly the correct information. My fear is a safetly manager may have been mislead and has misinformation that DC would be any safer.
agian i appoligize this isnt PLC related but i dont believe there is a welder related Q&A. Thanks in advance.
