HIGH VOLTAGE / HIGH FREQUENCY
CIRCUIT
The control board passes the 115 VAC voltage to the
primary of the high voltage transformer. The secondary
of the high voltage transformer is coupled to a spark
gap generator and also to the high frequency trans-
former. The high frequency transformer transfers the
high frequency “spark” to the electrode terminal, which
is coupled to the TIG torch.
NOTE: Unshaded areas of Block Logic Diagram are the subject of discussion.
