E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute of the NASU 11 Kazymyr Malevych Str., 03150, Kyiv, Ukraine.

Abstract
A mathematical description of the power source-consumable-electrode arc system is proposed. Conditions of static existence of the system are studied, allowing for the thermophysical characteristics of the parameters and variation of electrode stick-out.
Keywords: arc welding, consumable electrode, numerical simulation of the process, stationary arc length, object of regulation, static volt-ampere characteristics
