THEOR Y OF OPERA TION E-3 E-3 COMP ACT WIRE WELDERS INPUT LINE VOL T AGE, F AN MOTOR & MAIN TRANSFORMER A circuit breaker is incorporated in the circuit to protect the unit from current overloads. The main transformer receives the primary voltage from the Control Board and changes that high voltage and low current input power to a low voltage a[...]

THEOR Y OF OPERA TION E-4 E-4 COMP ACT WIRE WELDERS OUTPUT CONTROL, RECTIFICA TION & VOL T AGE FEEDBACK The AC voltage that is applied to the main transformer primary is controlled at the control board by two SCRs (Silicon Controlled Rectifiers). The SCRs are controlled by a pulse signal developed on the control board. The control board compare[...]

THEOR Y OF OPERA TION E-5 E-5 COMP ACT WIRE WELDERS TRIGGER, GAS SOLENOID AND WIRE DRIVE Closure of the trigger circuit (pulling the gun trigger) signals the control board to start several functions. A DC is applied to the gas solenoid (if present) to allow shielding gas to flow if required. The SCRs are acti- vated and voltage is applied to the ma[...]

THEOR Y OF OPERA TION E-6 E-6 COMP ACT WIRE WELDERS SCR OPERA TION A silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is a three terminal device used to control large currents to a load. An SCR acts very much like a switch. When it is turned on, there is current flow from anode to cathode. In the ON state, the SCR acts like a closed switch. When the SCR is turne[...]

THEOR Y OF OPERA TION E-7 E-7 COMP ACT WIRE WELDERS THERMAL PROTECTION The Compact Wire Welders have a rated output duty cycle as defined in the T echnical Specification page. If the duty cycle is exceeded, a thermal protector will shut off the output until the machine cools to a reasonable operating temperature. This is an automatic function of an[...]
