摘要

Welding apparatus and a method of producing source of welding current. Use is made of an inverter supplied with direct current from a source to pulse a center-tapped primary winding of a transformer at a frequency in excess of the audio range of frequencies, typically 10 KHz to 20 KHz. A secondary winding of the transformer has output terminals for electrical connection to an electrode and work to be welded. The operation of the inverter is controlled by means of a feedback signal derived from a winding inductively coupled to the transformer. The high operating frequency results in a significant reduction in the mass and dimensions of the welder compared to conventional welders which operate at mains frequencies.
