DC power supply apparatus includes an input-side rectifier for converting an AC signal from an AC power supply into a DC signal. A DC-to-high-frequency converter converts the DC signal into a high frequency signal in response to a control signal from a control unit. An output-side rectifier converts the high frequency signal into a DC signal and applies it to a load. An input current detector detects an input current flowing through the input-side rectifier and generates a signal representative of the input current. A load current detector detects a load current flowing through the load and generates a signal representative of the load current. The control unit receives the input-current and load-current representative signals, a reference input current signal and a reference load current signal, and provides the DC-to-high-frequency converter with the control signal such that the input-current representative signal can be equal to the reference input current signal and the load-current representative signal can be equal to the reference load current signal.

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.

An arc welder provided with a low frequency square waveform a.c. power supply as a main power supply for welding in order to improve its power of recovering an arc which may go out at the time of polarity transition of a welding load and an auxiliary d.c. power supply for super-posing its output upon the input of the main power supply to further improve the recovering power, in which a switching element is inserted in a supply path of the output of the auxiliary d.c. power supply and the switching element is put in conduction by a suitable control device only for a necessary shortest arc recovery time in order to reduce a power loss due to continuous supply of the auxiliary d.c. output. The welder may include a diode which is put in conduction in response to an excessive transient voltage induced at the input of an invertor of the main power supply at the time of polarity transition of the welding load and, in order to prevent excessive charge of the capacitor in this case, the conduction time of the switching element may be extended to discharge an excess charge through the switching element to the invertor when a voltage across the capacitor exceeds a predetermined value.

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.

An arc welder includes an inverter for converting a DC voltage to a RF voltage which, then, is rectified by a rectifier. The output of the rectifier is smoothed by a DC reactor. A RF generator provides RF current to flow between a workpiece and a main electrode of the welder forming a welder load, which initiates arcing between the workpiece and the main electrode. Initiation of arcing causes output current from the DC reactor to be supplied to the welder load, so that steady-state arcing is established. The DC reactor has a relatively small inductance which permit the output current from the DC reactor to reach a value required for establishing the steady-state arcing within a time period during which the RF generator provides RF current. The RF voltage from the inverter has a relatively high frequency so that the output current from the DC reactor can sustain the steady-state arcing.
