1-SAFETY
RULES
FOR
OPERATION
OF
ARC
WELDING
POWER
SOURCE
1-1.
INTRODUCTION
We
learn
by
experience.
Learning
safety
through
personal
experience
like
achild
touching
ahot
stove
is
harmful,
waste
ful,
and
unwise.
Let
the
experience
of
others
teach
you.
Safe
practices
developed
from
experience
in
the
use
of
weld
ing
and
cutting
are
described
in
this
manual.
Research,
devel
opment,
and
field
experience
have
evolved
reliable
equipment
and
safe
installation,
operation,
and
servicing
practices.
Acci
dents
occur
when
equipment
is
improperly
used
or
main
tained.
The
reason
for
the
safe
practices
may
not
always
be
given.
Some
are
based
on
common
sense,
others
may
require
technical
volumes
to
explain.
It
is
wiser
to
follow
the
rules.
Read
and
understand
these
safe
practices
before
attempting
to
install,
operate,
or
service
the
equipment.
Comply
with
these
procedures
as
applicable
to
the
particular
equipment
used
and
their
instruction
manuals,
for
personal
safety
and
for
the
safety
of
others.
Failure
to
observe
these
safe
practices
may
cause
serious
in
jury
or
death.
When
safety
becomes
a
habit,
the
equipment
can
be
used
with
confidence.
Responsibilities
of
installer,
user,
and
serviceman.
Installa
tion,
operation,
checking,
and
repair
of
this
equipment
must
be
done
only
by
a
competent
person,
experienced
with such
equipment.
These
safe
practices
are
divided
into
two
Sections:
1
-
General
Precautions,
common
to
arc
welding
and
cutting;
and
2-
Arc
Welding
(and
Cutting)(only).
Reference
standards:
Published
Standards
on
safety
are
also
available
for
additional
and
more
complete
procedures
than
those
given
in
this
manual.
They
are
listed
in
the
Standards
Index
in
these
safety
rules.
ANSI
Z49.1
is
the
most
complete.
The
National
Electrical
Code,
Occupation
Safety
and
Health
Administration,
local
industrial
codes,
and
local
inspection
requirements
also
provide
a
basis
for
equipment
installation,
use,
and
service.
1-2.
GENERAL
PRECAUTIONS
A.
Burn
Prevention
Wear
protective
clothing
-
leather
(or
asbestos)
gauntlet
gloves,
hat,
and
high
safety-toe
shoes.
Button
shirt
collar
and
pocket
flaps,
and
wear
cuffless
trousers
to
avoid
entry
of
sparks
and
slag.
Wear
helmet
with
safety
goggles
or
glasses
with
side
shields
underneath,
appropriate
filter
lenses
or
plates
(protected
by
clear
cover
glass).
This
is
a
MUST
for
welding
or
cutting,
(and
chipping)
to
protect
the
eyes
from
radiant
energy
and
flying
metal.
Replace
cover
glass
when
broken,
pitted,
or
spattered.
See
1-3A.
Avoid
oily
or
greasy
clothing.
A
spark
may
ignite
them.
Hot
metal
such
as
electrode
stubs
and
workpieces
should
never
be
handled
without
gloves.
Medical
first
aid
and
eye
treatment.
First
aid
facilities
and
a
qualified
first
aid
person
should
be
available
for
each
shift
unless
medical
facilities
are
close
by
for
immediate
treatment
of
flash
burns
of
the
eyes
and
skin
burns.
Ear
plugs
should
be
worn
when
working
on
overhead
or
in
a
confined
space.
A
hard
hat
should
be
worn
when
others
work
overhead.
Flammable
hair
preparations
should
not
be used
by
persons
intending
to
weld
or
cut.
B.
Toxic
Fume
Prevention
Adequate
ventilation.
Severe
discomfort,
illness
or
death
can
result
from
fumes,
vapors,
heat,
or
oxygen
enrichment
or
depletion
that
welding
(or
cutting)
may
produce.
Prevent
them
with
adequate
ventilation
as
described
in
ANSI Stan
dard
Z49.1
listed
1
in
Standards
index.
NEVER
ventilate
with
oxygen.
Lead,
cadium,
zinc,
mercury,
and
beryllium
bearing
and
simi
lar
materials,
when
welded
(or
cut)
may
produce
harmful
concentrations
of
toxic
fumes.
Adequate
local
exhaust
venti
lation
must
be
used,
or
each
person
in
the
area
as
well
as
the
operator
must
wear
an
air-supplied
respirator.
For
beryllium,
both
must
be
used.
Metals
coated
with
or
containing
materials
that
emit
toxic
fumes
should
not
be
heated
unless
coating
is
removed
from
the
work
surface,
the
area
is
well
ventilated,
or
the
operator
wears
an
air-supplied
respirator.
Work
in
a
confined
space
only
while
it is
being
ventilated
and,
if
necessary,
while
wearing
an
air-supplied
respirator.
Gas
leaks
in
a
confined
space
should
be
avoided.
Leaked
gas
in
large
quantities
can
change
oxygen
concentration
danger
ously.
Do
not
bring
gas
cylinders
into
a
confined
space.
Leaving
confined
space,
shut
OFF
gas
supply
at
source.
The
space
will
then
be
safe
to
re-enter,
if
downstream
valves
have
been
accidently
opened
or
left
open.
Vapors
from
chlorinated
solvents
can
be
decomposed
by
the
heat
of
the
arc
(or
flame)
to
form
PHOSGENE,
a
highly
toxic
gas,
and
other
lung
and
eye
irritating
products.
The
ultra
violet
(radiant)
energy
of
the
arc
can
also
decompose
tn
chloroethylene
and
perchloroethylene
vapors
to
form
phos
gene.
DO
NOT
WELD
or
cut
where
solvent
vapors
can
be
drawn
into
the
welding
or
cutting
atmosphere
or
where
the
radiant
energy
can
penetrate
to
atmospheres
containing
even
minute
amounts
of
trichlorethylene
or
perchlorethylene.
C.
Fire
and
Explosion
Prevention
Causes
of
fire
and
explosion
are:
combustibles
reached
by
the
arc,
flame,
flying
sparks,
hot
slag
or
heated
material;
misuse
of
compressed
gases
and
cylinders;
and
short
circuits.
Be
aware
that
flying
sparks
or
falling
slag
can
pass
through
cracks,
along
pipes,
through
windows
or
doors,
and
through
wall
or
floor
openings,
out
of
sight
of
the
goggled
operator.
Sparks
and
slag
can
fly
35
feet.
To
prevent
fires
and
explosion:
Keep
equipment
clean
and
operable,
free
of
oil,
grease,
and
(in
electrical
parts)
of
metallic
particles
that
can
cause
short
circuits.
If
combustibles
are
in
area,
do
NOT
weld
or
cut.
Move
the
work
if
practicable,
to
an
area
free
of
combustibles.
Avoid
paint
spray
rooms,
dip
tanks,
storage
areas,
ventilators.
If
the
work
can
not
be
moved,
move
combustibles
at
least
35
feet
away
out
of
reach
of
sparks
and
heat;
or
protect
against
ignition
with
suitable
and
snug-fitting,
fire-resistant
covers
or
shields.
Walls
touching
combustibles
on
opposite
sides
should
not
be
welded
on
(or
cut).
Walls,
ceilings,
and
floor
near
work
should
be
protected
by
heat-resistant
covers
or
shields.
Fire
watcher
must
be
standing
by
with
suitable
fire
ex
tinguishing
equipment
during
and
for
some
time
after
weld
ing
or
cutting
if:
a.
appreciable
combustibles
(including
building
construc
tion)
are
within
35
feet
b.
appreciable
combustibles
are
further
than
35
feet
but
can
be
ignited
by
sparks
c.
openings
(concealed
or
visible)
in
floors
or
walls
within
35
feet
may
expose
combustibles
to
sparks
d.
combustibles
adjacent
to
walls,
ceilings,
roofs,
or
metal
partitions
can
be
ignited
by

or
conducted
heat.
Hot
work
permit
should be
obtained
before
operation
to
ensure
supervisors
approval
that
adequate
precautions
have
been
taken.
After
work
is
done,
check
that
area
is
free
of
sparks,
glowing
embers,
and
flames.
An
empty
container
that
held
combustibles,
or
that
can
pro
duce
flammable
or
toxic
vapors
when
heated,
must
never
be
welded

jumper
links
provided
on
the
primary

permit
the
welding

to
be
operated
from
various
line

The
various
voltages
from
which
this
welding
power
source
may
be
operated
are
stated
on
the
welding
power

nameplate,
and
on
the

The
input
voltage
jumper
links
on
this
welding
power

are
positioned
for
the
highest
of
the
voltages
stated
on
the
nameplate.
If
the

is
to
be
operated
from
a
line
voltage
which
is
lower
than
the
highest
voltage
for
which

SECONDARY
WELDING
CONNECTIONS
It
is
recommended
that
the
welding
cables
be
kept
as
short
as
possible,
be
placed
close
together,
and
be
of
adequate
current
carrying
capacity.
The
resistance
of
the
weldIng
cables
and
connections
cause
a
voltage
drop
which
is
added
to
the
volt
age
of
the
arc.
Excessive
cable
resistance
may
result
in
over
loading
as
well
as
reducing
the
maximum
current
output
of
which
the
welding
power
source
is
capable.
The
proper
opera
tion
of
any
welding
power
source
is
to
a
great
extent
depen
dent
on
the
use
of
welding
cables
and
connections
that
are
in
good
condition
and
of
adequate
size.
An
insulated
electrode
holder
must
be
used
to
ensure
the
operators
safety.
Use
Table
3-2
as
a
guide
for
selecting
the
correct
welding
cable
size
for
the
anticipated
maximum
weld
current
that
will
be
used.
Table
3-2
takes
into
account
the
total
cable
length
for
the
weld
circuit.
This
means
the
length
of
the
Electrode
cable
that
connects
the
Electrode
Holder
to
the
welding
power
source
and
the
Work
or
ground
cable
between
the
welding
power
source
and
the
workpiece.
For
example:
If
the
Electrode
cable
is
75
feet
long
and
the
Work
or
ground
cable
is
25
feet
long,
select
the
size
cable
from
Table
3-2
that
is
recommended
for
100
feet
at
the
maximum
amperage
that
will
be
used..
For
example,
in
a
100
foot
weld
circuit
where
a
maximum
weld
current
of
150
amperes
is
anticipated,
No.
2
weld
cable
would
be
recommended
for
both
the
Electrode
and
Work
cables.
If
reverse
polarity
is
to
be
used
for
the
welding
operation,
connect
the
electrode
holder
cable
to
the
WORK
secondary
terminal
and
the
work
cable
to
the
ELECTRODE
secondary
terminal.
To
obtain
straight

connect
the

to
the

METERS
(Figure
4-1)
This
welding
power
source
is
equipped
with
a
dc
ammeter
and
a
dc
voltmeter.
These
meters
are
internally
connected
to
the
welding
power
source
output
welding
terminals.
The
volt
meter
will
indicate
the
dc
voltage
at
the
terminals,
but
does
not
necessarily
indicate
the
actual
voltage
at
the
welding
arc.
If
the
welding
cables
are
excessively
long
or
have
poor,
loose
connections,
the
difference
between
actual
arc
voltage
and
the
voltage
at
the
welding
power
source
terminals
may
be
considerable.
For
best
results
always
keep
the
welding
cables
short
and
of
ample
size
to
carry
the
welding
current.
All
Connections
in
the
welding
Circuit
should
be
clean
and
tight
and
under
no
circumstances
should
the
welding
current
be
conducted
through
a
bearing
of
any
type.
The
panel
ammeter
included
with
this
welding
power
source
is
a
–
2
per
cent
(full
scale)
instrument.
This
is
the
meter
manufacturers
guarantee.
In
practice,
and
when
new,
the
meter
is
generally
considerably
more
accurate.
Nonetheless,
if
welding
(or
setting
up)
at
the
low
current
end,
at
10
amperes
for
instance,
the
meter
reading
could
be
as
much
as
6
amps
off
either
way.
(2
per
cent
of
300
amps)
The
digital
dial
on
the
other
hand
is
considerably
more
accu
rate
especially
at
the
low
end.
The
welding
machines
current
should be
within
1
per
cent
or
1
ampere
(whichever
is
great
er)
of
the
dial
setting.
Thus
if
the
digital
dial
is
set
to
10
amperes
the
weld
current
output
will
be
within
–
1
ampere.
It
becomes
obvious
that
the
digital
dials
should
always
be
trusted
as
more
accurate
than
the
panel
ammeter.
A
simple
guide
to
following
is:
Up
to
100
amps,
accuracy
is
–
1
amp.
Above
100
amps,
accuracy
is
–
1
per
cent.
In
practice,
it is
found
that
dial
accuracy
is
even
more
accu
rate
than
the
specified
1
per
cent.
Production
tests
include
factory
calibration
using
1/2
per
cent
laboratory
quality
instruments.
A.
Recorder
Jacks
NOTE
The
current
signal
output
is
0
to
50
millivolts
dc
and
the
voltage
signal
output
is
0
to
85
volts
dc.
Near
each
meter
is
a
set
of
red
and
black
test
jacks.
These
can
be
used
to
supply
signals
representing
arc
current
and
ter
minal
voltage
to
remote
chart
recording
instruments.
Al
though
these
outputs
are
equipped
with
R.F.
chokes,
care
should
be
taken
when
connecting
to
the
inputs
of
sensitive
instruments.
Note
that
the
negative
(black)
post
of
the
cur
rent
signal
is
electrically
common
with
the
positive
(red)
post
of
the
voltage
signal.
This
signal
should
be
investigated
when
using
a
common

The
PEAK

Control
on
the
front

allows
the
adjustment
of
the
pulse

(amplitide).
This
con
trol
provides
the

with
a
means
of
injecting
enough

momentarily
into
the
weld

to
cause
the

The

Welding.
pulsing
refers
to
the
alternate
raising
and
lowering
of
the
main

at
a
periodic
rate.
The
raised
portions
of
the

and
frequency
thus
forming
pulses
of
weld

between
them
(called
the

alter
nately
heat

Thus,
if

OPERATION
OF
ELECTROSLOPE
The
electroslope
feature
provides
a
means
of
current
control
during
the
start
and
finish
of
the
weld.
Controls
for
adjusting
the
initial
current,
upslope
time,
down-
slope
time
(crater-out)
and
final
current
level
at
the
conclu
sion
of
the
weld
are
located
on
the
front
of
the
control
panel.
Upslope
and
downslope
of
weld
current
can
be
triggered
by
the
push
button
switches
on
the
control
panel
or
remotely
by
connecting
a
remote
switching
station
to
the
Remote
Control
Terminal
Block
)2T).
See
heading
3-6
for
instructions
on
connecting
a
remote
slope
control
switch.
Various
devices
such
as
mechanically
actuated
switches
mounted
on
moving
fixtures
or
jigs,
or
an
optional
remote
pendant
control
can
be
used
for
this
purpose.
A.
Initial
Current
Control
(Figures
4-2
&
4-3)
The
INITIAL
CURRENT
Control
is
used
to
set
the
arc
cur
rent
at
the
moment
of
arc
initiation.
The
current
will
be
held
at
this
value
(sometimes
called
a
pre-heat
current)
until
the
welding
power
source
is
triggered
into
upsiope.
To
go
directly
into
upslope
following
arc
initiation,
a
jumper
should
be
connected
between
terminals
72
and
120
of
ter
minal
strip
2T.
To
go
directly
into
weld
current
under
these
conditions
(no
upslope),
set
the
UPSLOPE
TIME
Control
to
0.
NOTE
When
operating
with
the
initial
current
(or
preheat)
portion
jumpered
out,
even
though
the
transfer
from
arc
start
to
weld
or
background
current
level
is
instan
taneous,
the
INITIAL
CURRENT
Control
remains
active
in
the
circuitry
for
that
short
instant
of
time
following
arc
initiation.
Accordingly,
it is
recom
mended
that
the
INITIAL
CURRENT
Control
not
be
set
at
0,
it
should
be
set
up
to
or
near
the
weld
)or
background)
current
value
as
an
aid
in
arc
starting.
This
tends
to
presaturate
the
magnetics
of
the
welding
power
source
thus
making
arc
starting
easier.
B.
Upslope
&
Downslope
Time
Controls
(Figures
4-2
&
4-3)
Two
10
turn
dials
are
furnished
for
controlling
the
upslope
and
downslope
portions
of
the
weld
cycle.
These
dials
are
calibrated
directly
in
seconds,
0
to
10,
with
minor
gradua
tions
at
tenths
of
a
second
and
hundredths
of
a
second.
Set
ting
the
upslope
dial
for
3
seconds
for
instance,
will
result
in
the
current
changing
linearly
from
the
value
set
on
the
INITIAL
CURRENT
Control
to
the
value
set
on
the
WELD/
BACKGROUND
CURRENT
Control
over
a
period
of
3
seconds.
The
same
is
true
of
the
downslope,
if
it
is
set
for
5
seconds
for
instance,
the
weld
current
will
diminish
to
the
setting
of
the
FINAL
CURRENT
Control
linearly
over
a
period
of
5
seconds.

and
allows
the
pulse

circuitry
to
be
turned
on
or
off.
Placing
the

restores
the

source
to
a
straight

with
the
WELD/BACKGROUND

used
as
a
main

Placing
the

energizes
the

circuitry
allowing
an
adjustable

signal
to
be
fed
into
the

which
in

will
permit
controllable

even
though
the

pulsing
will
not
begin

1.
Knowing
the

it
can
be
adjusted
for
a

if
desired
by
setting
the

need
not
be
downward
in
direction
but
can
be
set
for
an
increase
of
current
at
the
end
of
the
weld.
Since
both
the
upslope
and
downslope
dials
are
calibrated
in
time,
the
current
change
during
sloping
can
be
from
any
value
within
the
range
of
the
welding

source
to
any
other
value
and
no

The
FINAL
CURRENT
Control
has
an
adjustable
range
from
the
minimum
to
the
maximum
output
of
the
welding
power
source.
Whatever
final
current
level
is
selected
will
be
held
until
the

is
stopped
by
opening
the
contactor,
if
in
the
GTAW

is
set
at
a

higher
than
the
WELD/
BACKGROUND
CURRENT
level,
an
upward
slope
will
take
place
when
the
downslope
portion
of
the
weld
is
initiated.
However,
in
most
applications,
the
final
current
level
is
generally
set
at
a
level
lower,
than
the
WELD/BACK

level
in
order
to
provide
a

WELDING
GENERAL
NOTES
When
performing
manual
GTAW
welding
with
a
remote
foot
amperage
and
contactor
control,
remember
that
if
the
foot
control
is
advanced
only
a
slight
amount
(cracked)
the
weld
current
will
be
at
absolute
minimum,
three
amps
or
less,
This
makes
arc
starting
considerably
difficult.
Accordingly,
it
is
recommended
that
the
STARTING

SELECTOR
Switch
be
set
to
the
No.

As
a
further
help
in
manual
GTAW
welding,
it
is
always
best
to
have
the
electrode
holder
in
position;
ready
to
strike
the
arc
before
the
foot
pedal
is
depressed.
This
will
ensure
that
the
first
starting
pulse
will
not
be
wasted.
If
the
foot
pedal
is
depressed
while
the
electrode
holder
is
still
a
considerable
distance
from
the
workpiece,
the
high-frequency
will
strike
too
soon
and
the
initial
starting
pulse
will
be
wasted
trying
to
establish
an
impractically
long
arc.
The
relays
will
then
reset,
chatter,
etc.
This
is
normal
operation
and
should
be
expected
if
the
high-frequency
is
energized
before
the
electrode
holder
is
in
welding
position.
To
summarize:
For
best
starts,
always
have
the
electrode
tip
within
1/8
inch
of
the
workpiece
before
depressing
the
foot
control.

This
should
be
done
periodically,
depending
upon

the
unit
and
the
amount
of
dust

SPARK
GAP
(Figure
6-1)
The
spark
gaps
can
be
readily
inspected
by
opening
the
access
door
on
the
front
of
the
welding
power
source.
The
spark
gaps
are
normally
set
at
.008
clearance
at
the
factory.
It
will
be
necessary
to
periodically
readjust
these
after
extended
operation.
Usually
inspection
and
adjustment
every
three
or
four
months
will
suffice.
Readjustment
is
also
indicated
when
intermittent
operation
of
the
gaps
is
noted.
Usually
this
occurs
when
the
setting
has
increased
to
.013
or
greater.
Generally
speaking,
the
high-frequency
output
varies
directly
(up
to
a
certain
point)
with
the
spark
gap
spacing.
In
extreme
cases
where
the
greatest
amount
of
high-frequency
is
needed,
it
may
be
necessary
to
adjust
the
spark
gap
setting
to
.010
or
even
.013.
This
also
increases
the
high-frequency
radia
tion
and
it is
suggested
that
the
minimum
gap
setting
(.004
to
.008),
consistent
with
good
welding
operation,
be
used.
NOTE
Cleaning
or
dressing
the
points
of
the
spark
gaps
is
not
recommended,
as
the
material
at
the
points
is
tungsten
and
is
impossible
to
file.
The
entire
point
should
be
replaced
when
the
tungsten
section
has
completely
disappeared.
To
Adjust
the
Spark
Gaps,
Proceed
as
Follows:
1.
Loosen
screw
A
on
both
sides.
2.
Place
feeler
gauge
of
proper
thickness
between
points
at
gap
C.
3.
Apply
slight
pressure
against
point
B
so
feeler
gauge
is
held
firmly
in
gap.

For
easy
access
to
printed-circuit
boards,
remove
the
four
screws
at
the
corners
of
the
front
nameplate.
This
welding
power
source
utilizes
three
or
four
(depending
on
model
type)
printed
circuit
boards
in
its
standard
control
circuitry.
One
board
serves
as
the
regulated
power
supply
furnishing
proper
voltages
to
the
control
amplifier
on
the
second
board.
A.
Power
Supply
Board
This
board
receives
two
ac
voltages
from
transformer
T50,
rectifies
each
(rectified
by
diodes
D50
thru
D47),
where
upon
the
resulting
two
dc
voltages
are
fed
to
series
regulators,
050,052,
and
054.
Zener
diode
D58
serves
as
a
reference
for
the
positive
15
amp
10
volts
regulators.
The
resistor
divider,
R57,
R58,
and
R59
senses
the
positive
15
volts
dc
output,
053
makes
a
comparison
between
the
output
and
reference
voltage,
amplifies
the
error
if
any,
and
regulates
the
series
drop
of
052
to
hold
the
output
constant.
Q51
does
the
same
for
the
10
volts
regulator
and
drive
050.
The
negative
15
volts
regulator
operates
in
the
same
manner
as
the
positive
15
volts
regulators,
but
with
054
serving
as
the
series
regulator.
The
positive
24
volts
dc
output
is
not
regulated
and
is
used
to
supply
the
relay
coil
current
of
CR50.
It
may
measure
any
where
from
24
to
33
volts
with
the
latter
being
no

connect
resistor
R82
across
integrator
network
C62
and
R83
thus
preventing
a
charge
buildup
on
C62.
A
charge
buildup
on
C62
could
cause
a
hot-start
condition.
The
contacts
of
relay
CR50
also
place
resistor
R75
into
the
circuit
which
adjusts
the
amount
of
pre-saturation
in
mag
netic
amplifiers
1
through
6.
When
arc
initiation
occurs,
relays
CR50
and
CR52
are
deenergized.
This
deenergiza
tion
action
removes
resistor
R82
from
the
circuitry
and
thus
allows
normal
integrator
action.
Also
at
this
time,
resistor
R75
will
be
removed
from
the
circuit
while
the
normal
drive
signal
from
A51
is
switched
to
the
output
exit
and
in
turn
out
to
the
booster
stage
(01
&
02).
The
contacts
of
relay
CR52
connect
the
drive
signal
to
the
welding
power
source
ammeter

adjusts
the
drive

Do
not
readjust

mer.
5.
RFC5O
and
51
are
transient
suppressors.
6.
C61
is
a
transient
voltage
bleeder
for
the
transductor

back
signal.
7.
R80
is
an
offset
adjustment
potentiometer
used
to
cali
brate
the
welding
power
source
output
at
the
low
end
(5
ampere
point).
C.
Current
Booster
The
transistorized
current
booster
accepts
the
0
to
positive
10
volts
dc
signal
from
the
pre-amplifier,
through
R88
and
boosts
it
from
approximately
.015
amperes
to
.8
amperes.
NOTE
Resistors
R6
and
R7
are
Fusistors
designed
to
burn
open
in
event
of
overload.
These
are
located
under
the
transistor
heat
sink
and
are
soldered
in
place.
There
is
inherent
redundance
built
into
the
current
booster,
if
one
transistor
should
fail,
the
other
will
satisfactorily
take
over
the

Start
Control
Circuit
To
permit
better
starting,
two
delays
have
been
designed
into
the
welding
power
source.
The
first
begins
at
contactor
ener
gization.
TD2
delays
the
application
of
high-frequency
for
1/4
of
a
second,
giving
the
magnetics
time
to
stabilize.
The
second
delay
begins
at
the
moment
the
arc
starts
and
lasts
for
approximately
160
milliseconds
thereafter.
This
delay
times
a
separate
starting
current
source
which
is
applied
to
the
electrode
by
W2.
The
starting
current
source
is
sepa
rate
from
the
main
welding
current
source:
Rectifier
SRS
provides
the
dc,
resistors
R18
and
A19
and
Switch
553B
set
the
current.
Capacitor
Cl
2
and
the
coil
of
relay
CR3
determine
the
length
of
the
starting
current
pulse
(l6omsec).
This
time-out
begins
at
the
instant
of
arc
initiation
as
sensed
by
CR1.

Integrator
Board
The
second
printed
circuit
board
serves
as
an
integrator
and
pre-amplifier.
Two
operational
amplifiers,
ASS
and
A51
are
mounted
on
this
board
along
with
associated
circuitry.
These
are
very
high
gain
amplifiers
with
controlled
feedback.
While
welding,
Amplifier
A55
receives
two
inputs,
one
from
the
0
to
positive
10
volts
reference
through
R73
and
the
other
from
the
transductor
feedback
rectifier
SR3
(0
to
negative
10
volts)
through
R81.
Amplifier
ASS,
connected
as
an
aug
menting
integrator,
produces
an
output
with
a
component
proportional
to
its
dc-input
plus
a
component
proportional
to
the
time
integral
of
its
input.
The
integrating
RC
is
made
up
of
R83
and
C62.
This
input
signal
is
fed
through
R85
to
the
input
of
pre
amplifier
A51.
Here
it
is
inverted
from
a
negative-going
signal
to
a
positive-going
signal.
The
gain
of
this
stage
is
adjusted
by
R87.
The
functions
of
other
components
on
the
board
are
as
fol
lows:
1.
R78
calibrates
the
welding
power
source
by
adjusting
the
feedback
so
that
the
actual
weld
current
out
agrees
with
the
current
setting
indicated
on
the
digital
dial
of
the
multi-turn
weld
control.
2.
R73
is
an
input
resistor
to
A55.
D71
and
072
are
isola
tion
diodes
used
to
isolate
the
0
to
10
volts
reference
signal
and
the
welding
power
source
minimum
output
level
signal.
3.
Relays
CR50
and
CR52
switch
from
a
start
condition
to
a
weld
condition.
These
relays
are
energized
prior
to
arc
initiation
by
the
24
volts
dc
supply
through
the
contacts
of
relays
CR58
and
CR66.
