OUTPUT RECTIFICATION AND

FEEDBACK CONTROL

The AC output from the main transformer secondary is rectified and controlled through the SCR bridge. Output current is sensed at the shunt as a low voltage signal and fed back to the control board. The control board compares the commands of the mode switch, output control, AC balance control, pulse control, post- flow control, or remote control with the feedback infor- mation. The appropriate SCR gate firing signals are created by the control board and sent to the SCR bridge. The control board controls the firing of the SCRs, which control the output of the machine. See SCR Operation. The control board monitors the ther- mostats, and also controls the gas solenoid valve, ther- mal light, auto balance LED, pulse frequency LED, TIG LED, stick LED, and the digital display.
