Welding Polarity Explained

It took a few attempts to find a link that explained electron flow, as used in welding, which is negative to positive, and is reverse of "conventional" current flow that is from positive to negative. Without this explanation, It could appear that the link is explaining incorrectly.

   Direct Current Electrode Negative (DCEN) – this is when the electrons flow from the electrode tip to the base plates.  The electrode holder is connected to the negative terminal and the workpiece is connected to the positive terminal.  This is also called straight polarity.
