METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CHARACTERIZING A WELDING OUTPUT CIRCUIT PATH

摘要

Methods and apparatus to characterize a welding output circuit path (105). A welding output circuit path (105) is characterized in real time with respect to a true energy and/or true power input to the welding output circuit path (105). A welding output circuit path (105) is also characterized with respect to an inductance (610, 630) of the welding output circuit path (105). A welding output circuit path (105) is further characterized with respect to a welding output waveform (1010).
