Abstract
A method includes receiving data corresponding to a weld waveform that is generated during a welding operation and determining, based on the received data corresponding to the weld waveform, an overshoot voltage for the welding operation that exceeds an expected voltage level. The method further includes receiving data corresponding to a measured stud voltage and calculating, based on the overshoot voltage and the measured stud voltage, a stud voltage for the welding operation. The method also includes controlling at least one parameter of the welding operation based on the stud voltage for the welding operation.
