CHAPTER 1
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Introduction
The AMADA WELD TECH TC-W100A Thermocouple Welder, Part Number 1-196-0x, is a manual feed
thermocouple welder designed to weld thermocouple wires together to form a thermocouple junction,
uniform in size, and without detrimental oxide layers when used with argon cover gas. Four different size
Wire Clamp Jaws, which are inserted into the TC-W100A Handpiece, permit joining of most thermocouple
wire materials that ranges in diameter from 38 AWG (0.0040 inch) to 20 AWG (0.0320 inch). The circuitry
is solid state, with components conservatively rated when used within the maximum specified repetition
rates. The unique charging circuit uses thyristors to provide high reliability and precise charging intervals.
Operator safety is ensured through the use of multiple earth ground connections.
Power Supply
Description
The Model TC-W100A combines capacitor discharge power supply and Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG)
welding technology to make a thermocouple junction.
Line Voltage
Line voltage is 115, 230, or 100 Volts, 60/50 Hz. The Thermocouple Welder (TC-W100A) is a multi-
voltage unit is normally connected for 115V, 60/50 Hz operation unless otherwise specified on the
nameplate and the label attached to the line cord. The actual line voltage should be within
±
13% of the
nominal voltage for which the TC-W100A is connected.
