DC WELDING OUTPUT

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 the conventional full wave bridge and filter configuration, resulting in a controlled DC output. Since the choke is in series with the negative leg of the bridge and also in series with the welding load, a filtered DC is applied to the output terminals. The bypass board pro- tects the internal circuitry from interference.

When the machine is in the DC mode, the background cir- cuitry provides an added boost of voltage to the output terminals. This circuitry is controlled by the control board.
