EQUIPMENT AND METHOD FOR GENERATING REGULATED ELECTRIC ARCS IN DIRECT CURRENT.

摘要

The present invention comprises equipment and methods for generating electric arcs with regulated direct current by means of: a three-phase power converter, which transforms the alternate current into direct current in a controlled manner according to the test parameters; a control unit for regulating said direct current under test; where the current sensor performs the measurement of the direct current in the electric arc and feeds back its value to the control unit; the optic sensor of electric arc presence allows the start and end of said electric arc to be detected, following the detection of the start the time of application of said electric current is measured by means of the control module; where the electrode arrangement allows the circuit of said electric current to be closed through a fuse element for setting the electric arc, which is controlled by the control unit.
