2.1 

DESCRIPTION.

 

Lightweight, compact unit uses high quality technology for the perfect weld. Fan-cooled DC power supply for TIG and arc welding applications. Suitable for  

 

welding steel, stainless steel, copper, nickel, titanium and their alloys. Features hot start anti-stick touch and lift striking. Supplied in carry-case with   

 

shoulder strap.

 

2.3 

EXPLANATION OF RATINGS PLATE SYMBOLS.

 

Detailed technical data relative to the performance of the machine is located on the underside of the base. 

Please note

 that the ratings plate shown below  

 

is an example only intended to assist with the explanations of symbols. To determine the correct technical values of the machine in your possession, you   

 

must refer to the machine data plate.

DATA REGARDING THE MAINS.

 

U1 

Alternating current and power supply frequency of the  

  

machine (allowed /-10%).

 

I1max 

Maximum current absorbed by the line.

 

I1eff 

:  

Effective current supplied.

10

 

Size of delayed action fuses to be used to protect the power line.

11

 

Symbols refering to safety regulations.

 1 

Case protection grade: IP21. Standard governing the

  

required protection from water ingress and isolation   

  

of internal parts from persons and objects.

 2 

Mains symbol : AC - single-phase supply.

 
 3 

Symbol S: Indicates that welding operations may be   

  

carried out in areas with greater risk of electric shock   

  

(e.g. close to metal masses).

 
 4 

Symbol of welding procedure chosen: Manual Arc   

 

  

welding with stick electrode or welding with TIG.

 5 

Symbol of the main internal parts of the welder : i.e.    

  

frequency converter (inverter) - transformer - rectifier.

 
 6 

The EUROPEAN standard relating to safety and the   

 

  

construction of Arc welding machines.

 7 

Manufacturer’s identifying serial number.

 8

 

PERFORMANCE OF THE WELDING CIRCUIT.

  

U

O

 

:

  

Maximum no-load peak voltage (welding circuit open).

  

I2 / U2 

:

  

Current and corresponding normalised voltage that may be supplied  

  

 

from the machine during welding.

  

Duty cycle: Indicates the time during which machine can   

  

 

supply the corresponding current (same column). This is expressed  

  

 

as % on the basis of a 10min. cycle (e.g. 60% = 6 min of work, 4 min.  

  

 

break and so on).

  

A/V-A/V

 :  Indicates the regulation range of the welding current (maximum -  

  

 

minimum) at the corresponding arc voltage.

2.4. 

CIRCUIT SYSTEM DESCRIPTION (Refer to fig 1).

1.  

Mains input (single phase), rectifier unit and condenser.

2. 

Transistors and drivers switching bridge (IGBT). Turns the   

 

mains rectified voltage into high frequency alternating  

 

 

voltage (60khz) and permits power regulation according to  

 

 

the current/voltage of the weld to be done.

3. 

High frequency transformer: The primary windings are fed   

 

by the voltage converted by Block 2. It has the function of  

 

 

adapting voltage and current to values required by the ARC  

 

 

welding procedure and, simultaneously, isolates the welding  

 

 

circuit from the mains.

4. 

Secondary rectifier bridge with inductance. Changes the   

 

alternating voltage/current supplied by secondary windings  

 

 

into continuous current/voltage at a low wave-length.

5. 

Electronic and regulation board: Instantly checks the value   

 

of the welding current against that selected by the user. It  

 

 

modulates the commands of the IGBT drivers, which control  

 

 

regulation. 

6. 

Control logic for welding machine operation: determines the   

 

dynamic response of the current while the electrode melts  

 

 

(instantaneous short circuits) and supervises the safety system 

7.   

Control panel for setting parameters and operating modes.

8.  

Welding machine cooling fan.
