When the polarity switch is placed in either DC position, the AC voltage from the main transformer secondary is applied to the SCR bridge. The SCR bridge and choke circuits are connected in a conventional full wave bridge and filter configuration, resulting in a controlled DC output. Since the choke is in series with the nega- tive leg of the bridge and also in series with the weld- ing load, a filtered DC is applied to the output terminals. The bypass board protects the internal circuitry from interference.
