DCEP stands for?

Explanation:
Direct Current Electrode Positive means the electrode (the tungsten in TIG) is connected to the positive terminal while the workpiece is connected to the negative terminal. This polarity concentrates more heat into the workpiece, giving deeper penetration and faster fusion of the metal, which is often desirable for thicker steels or when you need a strong weld bead. The tungsten tends to wear faster with this polarity, and the arc characteristics can differ compared to other polarities. The other options aren’t standard terms used to describe TIG polarity—“earth positive” isn’t a recognized polarity designation, and “electron positive” isn’t how the polarity is defined.
