What is DCEP In SMAW welding? A. Direct current with electrode parallel B. Direct current with equal polarity C. Direct current with electrode positive D. Direct current with enhanced power

The correct answer is C. Direct current with electrode positive.<br /><br />In Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), DCEP stands for Direct Current with Electrode Positive. This means that the electrode is connected to the positive terminal of the power source, while the workpiece is connected to the negative terminal. This polarity results in a deeper penetration of the weld, making it ideal for welding thicker materials.
