    摘要: A DC power supply apparatus includes a rectifier circuit for rectifying an input AC voltage to develop a rectified voltage between two output terminals thereof. First and second smoothing capacitors are connected in series between the output terminals of the rectifier circuit. First and second voltages developed across the first and second capacitors are applied to first and second inverters which convert the applied voltages to high-frequency voltages, which, in turn, are applied to a transformer. The transformer develops a transformed high-frequency voltage which is converted to a DC voltage by a converter. A voltage detector detects the first and second voltages, and the detected first and second voltages are compared in a microprocessor. An inverter control circuit controls the first and second inverters in accordance with the result of comparison, in a sense to make the voltages across the first and second smoothing capacitors equal.

    摘要: A DC power supply apparatus includes an input-side rectifier which rectifies an input AC voltage and supplies the rectified voltage to a voltage-boosting converter. The voltage-boosting converter converts the supplied voltage to a voltage of a predetermined magnitude. The predetermined magnitude voltage is, then, converted to a high-frequency voltage by an inverter and applied to a primary winding of a transformer. An output-side rectifier rectifies a high-frequency voltage induced in a secondary winding of the transformer. The inverter includes IGBTs and diodes, which are connected in a full-bridge configuration. A capacitor is connected in parallel with each IGBT. When the IGBTs are rendered conductive by the charging and discharging of the capacitors, no current flows through the IGBTs, and when the IGBTs are rendered nonconductive, the voltages applied to the IGBTs are made to become zero.

    摘要: One of commercial AC voltages is coupled to power supply terminals from one of commercial AC power supplies. The AC power supplies belong to either a first group providing higher voltages or a second group providing lower voltages. A rectifier rectifies the AC voltage applied to the power supply terminals, and a rectified voltage is developed between two rectifier output terminals. A switching unit operates to connect voltage-boosting converters selectively in series and in parallel between the rectifier output terminals. Inverters are connected in the output sides of and in association with the respective voltage-boosting converters for converting DC voltages from the associated voltage-boosting converters to high-frequency voltages. The high-frequency voltages are voltage-transformed by associated voltage-transformers, and the voltage-transformed high-frequency voltages are converted into a DC voltage by a rectifier circuit and a reactor. The DC voltage is developed between output terminals of the apparatus. A switching control unit controls the switching unit so as to connect the voltage-boosting converters in series between the rectifier output terminals when a commercial AC power supply of the first group is connected to the power supply terminals, while connecting the voltage-boosting converters in parallel between the rectifier output terminals when a commercial AC power supply of the second group is connected to the power supply terminals.

    摘要: DC power from a smoothing capacitor is converted into high frequency power by an inverter, and then lowered by an output transformer. The lowered high frequency power is converted into DC power by an output rectifier and a DC reactor, and then supplied to a load. The load is short-circuited and then opened to initiate arcing. The short-circuiting and the arcing alternate. An auxiliary rectifier provides a load-voltage representative signal, and a current detector detects a load current. A load-current representative signal is differentiated by a differentiation circuit. The signals from the auxiliary rectifier, the current detector and the differentiation circuit, and a reference signal are applied to an operational amplifier. A control circuit controls the inverter such that the output of the operational amplifier can be zero. An integration circuit receives at least the load-voltage representative signal to detect a period of a cycle consisting of the arcing and the short-circuiting and provide an operation-cycle-period representative signal to the operational amplifier.

    摘要: Power supply apparatus includes a converter which converts a commercial AC voltage into a DC voltage. An inverter converts the DC voltage into a high frequency voltage. The high frequency voltage is voltage-transformed by a transformer, and then rectified and smoothed by a rectifier and a smoothing reactor into a DC voltage. This DC voltage is applied between a workpiece and a torch. A high frequency voltage generator generates a high frequency voltage and applies it to a primary winding of a coupling transformer. A boosted high frequency voltage is induced in a first secondary winding and applied between the workpiece and the torch, so that arcing is initiated. The coupling transformer includes a second secondary winding in which another high frequency voltage is induced. The high frequency voltage induced in the second secondary winding is converted into a DC voltage by a diode and a smoothing capacitor for application between the workpiece and the torch, so that the arcing is sustained.
