HIGH VOLTAGE / HIGH
FREQUENCY CIRCUIT
The control board passes the 115VAC voltage to the primary of the high voltage transformer. The sec- ondary of the high voltage transformer is coupled to a spark gap generator and also to the high frequency transformer. The high frequency transformer transfers the high frequency “spark” to the electrode terminal which is coupled to the TIG torch.
NOTE: Unshaded areas of block logic diagrams are the subject of discussion.
