A MULTI-OUTPUT ENGINE WELDER SUPPLYING FULL ELECTRICAL POWER CAPACITY TO A SINGLE WELDING OUTPUT AND METHOD

摘要

An engine welder having a single rotor (120) and a single stator (130), and methods of distributing electrical power capacity of the engine welder (100) to various welding windings (131, 132, 133) and auxiliary windings of the engine welder. The single rotor is driven at saturation current and independent control of the welding outputs is accomplished on the stator side of the engine welder (100). Means for supplying the full electrical power capacity of the engine welder (100) to a single stator welding winding are provided. Furthermore, means for distributing the electrical power capacity of the engine welder between welding windings (131, 132, 133) and/or auxiliary windings of the single stator (130) are provided.
