The proper ampere rating of a circuit breaker for an electric arc welder depends on the arc welder. Each is different. Look at the nameplate on the arc welder and choose the circuit breaker and wiring accordingly.
Well, both work on what is termed the 'motor principle', i.e. a current-carrying conductor, when placed in a magnetic field, is subject to a force perpendicular to that field. But that's where the similarity ends, for the operating coil in a galvanometer is restricted to move within an arc, whereas a motor's coil will continuously rotate.
Not appropriate earthing condition
If power is provided to the Motor Control Center and someone or something creates a short or spark at an inopportune location, an arc flash can result.
SAW welding is a type of arc welding while ERW welding is spot or seam welding. SAW stand for submerged arc welding while ERW stands for electric resistance welding.
