摘要
A novel energy-retaining power supply for AC arc welding machines is proposed in this paper. In this kind of power supply, current-steering diodes connected across the output chokes keep the inductor current continuous and retain the energy during the commutation period, hence reducing the commutation time to ensure a better welding performance. In addition, the stored energy can be released in the next energy transfer cycle to raise the conversion efficiency. The circuit operations and design procedures are likewise examined thoroughly. Experimental results on a prototype inverter for driving a 100-A AC arc welding machine are recorded to validate the effectiveness of the presented scheme. Copyright (C) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
