Invertterihitsausvirtalähteet

Invertterihitsausvirtalähteet, commonly known as inverter welding power sources, represent a modern advancement in welding technology. They utilize solid-state electronic components, specifically transistors, to convert the incoming AC power into a high-frequency AC signal. This high-frequency signal is then transformed down to the required welding voltage and current, and subsequently rectified to DC or used directly as AC, depending on the welding process.

The primary advantage of inverter technology is its efficiency and precise control over the welding output. Compared to traditional transformer-based power sources, inverters are significantly lighter, smaller, and more energy-efficient. They can deliver a much faster response to changes in arc length, resulting in a more stable and consistent arc. This stability contributes to improved weld quality, reduced spatter, and a more pleasant welding experience for the operator.

Inverter welding power sources are versatile and can be adapted for various welding processes, including SMAW (shielded metal arc welding, also known as stick welding), TIG (tungsten inert gas welding), and MIG/MAG (metal inert gas/metal active gas welding). Different models are designed to offer specific features tailored to these processes, such as adjustable arc force, hot start, and anti-stick functions. The precise control offered by inverters allows for finer adjustment of welding parameters, making them suitable for welding a wide range of materials and thicknesses.
