A generator for arc welder, of the type composed of a rectifier stage followed by a PFC stage and by an inverter stage, both of the high-frequency type, the latter stage supplying power to a final rectifier stage for a welding arc, the PFC stage being composed of two inductors that are mutually magnetically coupled, two diodes with opposite conduction directions, two leveling capacitors and means for controlling the succession of the on and off switchings of the two first switches, so as to shape the current absorbed by the rectifier stage by correlating it to the waveform of the line voltage. The inverter stage comprises four triads of second controlled switches, diodes and capacitors, and there is also a control device for the four second switches and for the current for the final stage that supplies power to the welding arc.
