With pulsed spray transfer, current changes from DCEP to AC each cycle.

Pulsed spray transfer uses pulses of direct current while keeping the same polarity throughout the cycle. The arc current switches between a high peak value and a lower background value, but its direction does not reverse. Because the current remains unidirectional, it does not change from DCEP to AC each cycle. In other words, pulsed spray is a pulsed DC process, with polarity fixed (either DCEP or DCEN depending on setup), and only the current magnitude is modulated.
