Answer:

The GMAW process commonly uses a constant voltage power source (GMAW-CV) that allows for a relatively constant welding voltage output over a range of welding currents. For GMAW-CV the welder selects the wire feed speed (WFS) on the wire feeder unit and an appropriate voltage on the welding power supply.
