2. SUMMARY

 

 

 2.1. Brief Introduction 

 
MMA- series

discrete

welder is a MMA arc welder which adopts the latest pulse width 

modulation (PWM) technology and the insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) power module. It 
can change work frequency to medium frequency so as to replace the traditional hulking work 
frequency transformer with the cabinet medium frequency transformer. Thus, it is characterized 
with portable, small size, light weight, low consumption and etc. 
MMA- series

discrete

has excellent performance: constant current output makes welding arc 

more stable; fast dynamic response speed reduces the impact from the arc length fluctuation to 
the current; accurate stepless current adjustment and pre-setting function. There are also some 
automatic protection functions for under voltage, over current, over heat, etc. inside the welder, 
when the problems listed before occurred, the alarm light on the front panel is on and at the same 
time the output current will be cut off. It can self-protect and prolong the using life and greatly 
improved the reliability and practicability of the welder. 
For MMA- series

discrete

, welding current, arc force and hot start can be adjusted by the 

adjustment knob, which can satisfy with several kinds of welding technologies. They can also 
realize high quality welding especially for using basic electrode, acid electrode and cellulose 
electrode. When using cellulose electrode, they can also realize downward welding for butt joint in 
all position. 
MMA- series

discrete

is widely used in Petroleum, chemical, mechanical, shipbuilding, 

architecture, boiler, pressure container, war industry and installation and so on.  
MMA——Manual Metal Arc welding;  
PWM——Pulse Width Modulation; 
IGBT——Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor 
 

 2.2. Model explanation 

 
The model explanation of arc welding machine is as follows.(Take MMA -315 as an example)
