A welding control apparatus according to the present invention includes an integrator for starting calculation of a voltage error integral value Sv2, expressed by a formula (1) given below, from a time when a first pulse period ends and a second pulse period starts in a pulse cycle, based on various data of information regarding a gradient Ks of an external characteristic of a welding power supply and a welding current setting value Is2 and a welding voltage setting value Vs2 both in a second pulse period, which are preset as parameters in the formula (1), as well as on an instantaneous value Io2 of a welding current and an instantaneous value Vo2 of a welding voltage both detected in the second pulse period, a comparator for comparatively determining whether a value of the voltage error integral value Sv2 provided as the calculation result has become 0, and a waveform generator for, per pulse cycle, terminating the relevant pulse cycle and starting a next pulse cycle at a time when the value of the voltage error integral value Sv2 has become 0, whereby a variation in an arc length caused by disturbances is precisely suppressed in pulse arc welding of consumed electrode type: Sv2=∫{Ks(Io2−Is2)+Vs2−Vo2}dt  (1)
