    摘要: An arc welding apparatus includes a main power supply circuit for outputting an arc current, a control circuit for controlling the main power supply circuit, and a high-frequency voltage generating circuit for generating a high-frequency voltage. When an operation switch is turned on for a first time since the apparatus is powered on, the control circuit activates the main power supply circuit to output a high voltage, and the high-frequency voltage generating circuit to generate a high-frequency voltage. With the high voltage superimposed on the high-frequency voltage, the control circuit passes a welding arc current through a torch and a base material. The switch is then turned off, and the control circuit passes a pilot arc current through the torch and the base material. The switch is turned on again, and the control circuit activates the main power supply circuit to output a high voltage, thereby allowing smooth arc transition.

    摘要: A power supply apparatus for welders includes an input-side AC-to-DC converter for converting an input commercial AC voltage into a DC voltage, which is, in turn, converted to a high-frequency voltage in an inverter. The high-frequency voltage is transformed to a high-frequency voltage having a desired magnitude in a transformer. The transformed high-frequency voltage is then converted back to a DC voltage in an output-side high-frequency-to-DC converter. The DC voltage is developed between output terminals of the power supply apparatus. A current detector detects the current flowing through the output terminals and develops a detected-current representative signal. A voltage detector detects the voltage between the output terminals and develops a detected-voltage representative signal. A CPU has three control modes and controls, in a first mode, the inverter in such a manner that the current representative signal becomes equal to a reference-current representative signal. In a second mode, the CPU activates and, then, deactivates a high-frequency generator, which provides a high-frequency voltage between the output terminals, and, thereafter, performs the first mode of control. In a third control mode, the CPU controls the inverter in such a manner that the voltage representative signal becomes equal to a reference-voltage representative signal and also controls a wire feeder for feeding a wire to be connected to one of the output 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: 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.

    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.

    摘要: A DC voltage resulting from rectifying and smoothing a commercial AC voltage is converted into a high-frequency voltage in an inverter which is operated in response to the closure of a start switch. A transformer transforms the high-frequency voltage, and the voltage-transformed high-frequency voltage is converted to a DC voltage by a rectifier and reactor for application between a torch and a workpiece with a gap disposed therebetween. In response to the closure of the start switch, an igniter operated from the voltage-transformed high-frequency voltage is enabled by an igniter driver to thereby apply a high-frequency voltage between the torch and the workpiece to generate an arc therebetween. A current detector detects current attributable to the arcing. A timer starts operating upon closure of the start switch and causes a disabling commander to disable the inverter when no current is detected by the current detector during a time period longer than a period required for an arc to be generated in the gap. This interrupts the supply of the operating voltage for the igniter, and the igniter stops operating.
