HIGH VOLTAGE / HIGH FREQUENCY

CIRCUIT

The control board passes the 115 VAC voltage to the primary of the high voltage transformer. The secondary of the high voltage transformer is coupled to a spark gap generator and also to the high frequency trans- former. The high frequency transformer transfers the high frequency “spark” to the electrode terminal, which is coupled to the TIG torch.
