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. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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 ...

7. Portable toilet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_toilet

   The portable toilet is used in a variety of situations, for example in urban slums of developing countries, at festivals, for camping, on boats, on construction sites, and at film locations and large outdoor gatherings where there are no other facilities. Most portable toilets are unisex single units with privacy ensured by a simple lock on the ...

8. Electric power conversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_conversion

   Flyback converter's transformer works differently, like an inductor. In each cycle, the flyback converter's transformer first gets charged and then releases its energy to the load. Accordingly, the flyback converter's transformer air gap has two functions. It not only determines inductance but also stores energy.

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.
