Abstract
A method and apparatus for initiating arc spraying is disclosed. The invention includes feeding the wires to an arc at a predetermined rate, for a predetermined length of time. Thereafter the wires are fed at a rate which is controlled in response to the current magnitude. The arc is also monitored and the condition of the arc--whether there is a shortage or outage--is indicated to the user.
