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 primary winding of the high frequency transformer. The secondary of the high frequency transformer is in series with the rear elec- trode output terminal. The high frequency “spark” is present at the electrode terminal and is transferred to the Tig torch.
