Of course, "small" is relative, but Yandina uses wire size and length to limit current through her Combiners to protect the relay contacts quite successfully.
While arc welding the arc produces enough heat to melt the electrode wire, however, when the electrode sticks to the weld pool and the arc is quenched the current is not enough to melt the wire.
