WELD WINDINGS, RECTIFIER,
POWER MODULES AND
FEEDBACK
The three-phase stator weld windings are connected to a
three-phase rectifier bridge. The resultant DC voltage is
applied to four paralleled capacitors incorporated within each
of the two power modules. There are two capacitors in each
module. These capacitors function as filters and also as
power supplies for the IGBTs. See IGBT Operation in this
section. The IGBTs act as high-speed switches operating at
20KHZ. These devices are switched on and off by the Weld
Control PC board through pulse width modulation circuitry.
See Pulse Width Modulation discussion in this section.
This chopped" DC output is applied through choke coils and
a shunt to the welding output terminals. The choke functions
as a current filter, and it helps to balance the outputs of the
two power modules. Free-wheeling diodes are incorporated
in the power modules to provide a current path for the stored
energy in the choke when the IGBTs are turned off. See the
Chopper Technology discussion in this section.
Output voltage feedback from the output terminals and current
feedback from the shunt is fed to the Weld Control PC board
as a means of controlling the output.
