Absolutely. I think (being a newbie to welding etc) that at 50-50 cycle, the amount od reverse polarity is excessive and leads to overheating of tungsten electrodes, without any benefit. So it is good to set cleaning (epecrode positive) to less than 50% of cycle.
That's right.

I also have pulsing. My welder is actually quite fancy, except for not having AC. All digital, etc.
