 OBJECTIVES:
On completion of this period, you would be able to
understand about.

Conditions for successful welding

Welding Generator

Welding Generator Characteristics

CONDITIONS FOR SUCCESSFUL WELDING

Voltage required

A.C Supply 80 to 100v

D.C Supply 60 to 80v

Proper Arc length

Aluminium and certain alloys can only be welded

with D.C
CONDITIONS FOR SUCCESSFUL WELDING
contd..
Select suitable electrode with correct
size

Correct welding technique should be used

Correct current should be selected

Aluminium and certain alloys can only be welded

with D.C
 ARC WELDING POWER SOURCES

Designed to change high voltage low amperage

current into s safe low voltage heavy current supply.

 ARC WELDING POWER SOURCES

We have 3 categories:-

1) Which supply Direct Current (D.C).

Motor-Generator Set (M.G.SET)
Diesel engine driven generators
Transformer Rectifier sets.
 ARC WELDING POWER SOURCES

2) Which supply Alternating Current (A.C).

Transformers A.C generators

3) A.C & D.C arc Welder combination

AC Transformers with DC rectifiers
 D.C GENERATOR
It produces Direct current.

It is powered either by electric motor or by diesel engine.

Rotating speeds 1500,1800 or 3600rpm.

 D.C GENERATOR
Drooping Characteristics as the arc length increases,
arc voltage rises and the current decreases and vice
versa.

Voltage range
Arc voltage 15 to 45v
Open circuit voltage 50 to 100v
