GENERATING POWER (continued)

DC Weld Output

AC output from the two phase-shifted weld windings pass through a reactor then to a two-phase bridge rec- tifier. DC output from the rectifier is then stabilized by a choke and terminates at two weld output terminals.

Weld Output Control

Weld output is controlled by varying the current in the rotating field winding. This is done through circuitry on the PC board that detects the position of the output control potentiometer and then limits the rotor current accordingly.

NOTE: Because the strength of the rotating field affects the output of all the windings, auxiliary output will also drop when the weld output control setting is decreased.

Weld Boost:

The Outback® 185 is equipped with a weld boost cir- cuit that improves weld performance. The reactor con- tains a weld boost winding that produces output rela- tive to the weld current. In high welding load situations, the exciter winding will tend to drop off in output while the boost winding’s output tends to increase. The out- put from this boost winding is routed through a circuit breaker. It is then rectified and added to the exciter cir- cuit, resulting in a significant improvement in weld per- formance.
