Circuit breaker
The 3 phase elecric input power is connected to circuit breaker (K).
CF Assembly
The CF assembly has three functions: a six-pulse rectifier, suppression of elector-magnetic
interference (EMI) and suppression of input voltage surges from the power lines.
Rectifier
The input rectifier consists of the power diodes CR1 to CR6.
MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors)
If the machine is subject to a voltage surge btween phases, the diodes are protected by MOVs.
MOVs are used from phase to ground (RV1, RV3, and RV6), and also between phases (RV2,
RV4, and RV5). The phase to ground MOV protects the diode from a voltage surge between
phase and ground. MOVs RV1 to RV6 protect the machine from high voltage surges. MOV
RV7 is capable of withstanding surges of up to 40,000 Amps.
EMI
(Electro Magnetic Interference)
The Electro Magnetic Interference from the inverter is suppressed by two capacitors in parallel
between phase and neutral. These capacitors (C2, C3, C5, C6, C7 and C8) must be of type X to
be allowed to be connected between phases and also to comply with the European community
CE norms.
The type X capacitors are connected to a common point, making it a virtual neutral. This point is
connected to safety ground via two type Y capacitors and one 33-ohm resistor.
The capacitors must be of a very reliable (HiRel) version, type Y, as a malfunction might make a
welding machine in a steel case carry 480 V AC and therefore could be life threatening to the
operator
.
The 480 V version of
The Studhorse
must have two type Y capacitors in series to comply with
the CE norms and be allowed to be sold to the European Community (EC).
The T1 auxiliary transformer is connected to two of the 3 phases. It is protected by an internal
thermal switch (t)
The surge resistors (R1 and R2) limits the current through the SCRs, should they fire at the
same time. The circuit breaker limits the time the current is flowing through the resistors.
Together they protect the SCR from destructive current should a cross firing of the SCRs occurs.
Even though the case of The Studhorse welder is made of non-conductive fiberglass-reinforced
Polyester, it meets and exceeds manufacturing and industry specifications.
