摘要： A power supply for welding, cutting and similar operations includes a dual two-switch forward converter. The converter has two inverter circuits coupled in parallel but controlled to provide output power in an interleaved fashion. To avoid walking of the circuits (which could result in different duty cycles and imbalance of the load sharing), control signals are determined and applied to a first of the inverter circuits, and on times of the first circuit is monitored, such as by augmenting a counter to determine the number of clock cycles the first circuit is on. The same duration is then used for commanding output from the second inverter circuit. The duty cycles of both circuits is thus ensured to be the same regardless of changes in the total output power.

摘要： A system (1) and method to make a welder aware of contact tip-to-work distance (CTWD) during a welding process. One or both of welding output current and wire feed speed (WFs) is sampled in real time during the welding process. The actual CTWD is determined in real time based on at least one or both of the sampled welding output current and wire feed speed. The actual CTWD may be compared to a target CTWD in real time, where the target CTWD represents an estimated or desired CTWD for the welding process. A deviation parameter may be generated based on the comparing. An indication of the deviation parameter or the actual CTWD may be provided to a welder performing the welding process as feedback, allowing the welder to adjust the actual CTWD to better match the target CTWD in real time during the welding process.

摘要： A method and apparatus for providing welding type power is disclosed. A welding type power supply includes an input circuit, a controller and an output circuit. The input circuit receives an input power signal and provides an intermediate power signal. The output circuit receives the intermediate power signal and provides a welding type power output. The output circuit has an inverter with at least two inverter switches, and a clamp circuit that limits the voltage across the inverter. The clamp circuit captures and buffers the excess energy, and returns the excess energy to an input of the inverter over a plurality of switching cycles. The controller has control outputs connected to the input circuit and the output circuit, to control them.
