<p>Disclosed is a resistance welding power supply apparatus which comprises a large-capacitance capacitor (14) for storing resistance welding energy in the form of electric charges, a charging circuit (16) for charging the capacitor (14) to a predetermined voltage, four switching elements or means Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 electrically connected between the capacitor (14) and a pair of welding electrodes (10) and (12), and a control unit (18) for allowing selective switching operations of the switching elements Q1 to Q4 during a weld time to provide a control of welding current IW. Diodes D1, D2, D3 and D4 are connected in parallel with the switching elements Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4, respectively, with current polarities opposite thereto. The control unit (18) terminates a switching pause period for polarity switching in a very brief time and initiates a switching control in the next current-supplying mode in the middle of fall of the welding current IW. <IMAGE></p> |
