MAIN IGBT INVERTER BOARD
The filtered input voltage, from the Input Board, is applied through an input choke to the Main IGBT Inverter Board. This input voltage is rectified, regulat- ed and a unity power factor output is developed for the main welding IGBTs. This unity power factor cir- cuit provides several advantages over a traditional bridge rectifier circuit. Among these advantages are that the UPFR operates over a wide range of voltages, there is no need for any manual circuit changes when the input voltages are changed from 115VAC to 230VAC and there is absolute voltage stability main- tained on the IGBT electrolytic capacitors. The four main welding IGBTs are located on a large center mounted heat sink assembly.
The
adjust for the different voltage requirements needed by the weld IGBT circuits. A signal is also sent to the Control Board so that when the input voltage is reduced the output of the machine will be limited accordingly.
The Auxiliary power portion of the board generates several voltages through flyback topology and a 50KHZ switching frequency. These various voltages (+24, +15, +5, +48 and
The Main IGBT Inverter Board receives command and
