2. Welding power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welding_power_supply

   The high frequency inverter-based welding machines are typically more efficient and provide better control of variable functional parameters than non-inverter welding machines. The IGBTs in an inverter based machine are controlled by a microcontroller, so the electrical characteristics of the welding power can be changed by software in real ...

3. Shielded metal arc welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielded_metal_arc_welding

   Because the power normally supplied to the welding machine is high-voltage alternating current, the welding transformer is used to reduce the voltage and increase the current. As a result, instead of 220 V at 50 A, for example, the power supplied by the transformer is around 17–45 V at currents up to 600 A.

4. Insulated-gate bipolar transistor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated-gate_bipolar...

   It is used in switching power supplies in high-power applications: variable-frequency drives (VFDs) for motor control in electric cars, trains, variable-speed refrigerators, and air conditioners, as well as lamp ballasts, arc-welding machines, photovoltaic and hybrid inverters, uninterruptible power supply systems (UPS), and induction stoves.

5. Arc welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_welding

   It is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between a metal stick ("electrode") and the base material to melt the metals at the point of contact. Arc welding power supplies can deliver either direct (DC) or alternating (AC) current to the work, while consumable or non-consumable electrodes are used.

6. Switched-mode power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-mode_power_supply

   Switched-mode power supplies can also be substantially smaller and lighter than a linear supply because the transformer can be much smaller. This is because it operates at a high switching frequency which ranges from several hundred kHz to several MHz in contrast to the 50 or 60 Hz mains frequency used by the transformer in a linear power supply.

7. Transformer types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_types

   A leakage transformer, also called a stray-field transformer, has a significantly higher leakage inductance than other transformers, sometimes increased by a magnetic bypass or shunt in its core between primary and secondary, which is sometimes adjustable with a set screw. This provides a transformer with an inherent current limitation due to ...

8. Rectifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier

   If the three-phase bridge rectifier is operated symmetrically (as positive and negative supply voltage), the center point of the rectifier on the output side (or the so-called isolated reference potential) opposite the center point of the transformer (or the neutral conductor) has a potential difference in the form of a triangular common-mode ...

9. Solid-state transformer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_transformer

   This transformer is smaller due to smaller DC-DC inverting stages between transformer coils, which consequently mean smaller transformer coils required to step up or step down voltages. A solid-state transformer can actively regulate voltage and current. Some can convert single-phase power to three-phase power and vice versa.
