GENERAL DESCRIPTION The DC-655 is an ener gy efficient constant voltage DC power source that pr oduces outstanding arc charac - teristics for multiple CV or CC welding processes. Four models are available: Domestic - all 60 Hertz models except 230/460/575v . NEMA Class 1 rated Canadian - 230/460/575v 60 Hertz NEMA Class 1 rated European - 50/60 Her[...]

1. INPUT POWER ON/OFF SWITCH - This tog- gle switch turns the machine on or off. Putting the switch in the ON position ener gizes the machine’ s input contactor applying input power to the machine. Switching the switch to the OFF position de-ener gizes the input contactor . This switch is also used to reset a machine shutdown. (See Machine Shutdo[...]

SCR OPERA TION A silicon controlled r ectifier (SCR) is a three-terminal device used to control rather lar ge currents to a load. An SCR acts very much like a switch. When a gate signal is applied to the SCR, it is turned ON and there is current flow fr om anode to cathode. In the ON state the SCR acts like a closed switch. When the SCR is tur ned [...]
