  2. Welding power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welding_power_supply

    A transformer-style welding power supply converts the moderate voltage and moderate current electricity from the utility mains (typically 230 or 115 VAC) into a high current and low voltage supply, typically between 17 and 45 (open-circuit) volts and 55 to 590 amperes.

  3. Shielded metal arc welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielded_metal_arc_welding

    A number of different types of transformers can be used to produce this effect, including multiple coil and inverter machines, with each using a different method to manipulate the welding current. The multiple coil type adjusts the current by either varying the number of turns in the coil (in tap-type transformers) or by varying the distance ...

  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. 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 ...

  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. Power inverter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

    A power inverter, inverter, or invertor is a power electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). [1] The resulting AC frequency obtained depends on the particular device employed. Inverters do the opposite of rectifiers which were originally large electromechanical devices converting AC to DC.
