The Invertec V145-S is an inverter based welding power sources that offers soft , crisp Stick and LIF TIG process. The Invertec V145-S can be connected to a 230V single phase input voltage. This unit can be also connect to engine driven generators but it must follow the below conditions: •...
Inverter board , Main transformer, Output rectifier and Output Choke INVERTER BOARDs, MAIN TRANSFORMER, OUTPUT RECTIFIER AND OUTPUT CHOKE When the input filter capacitors are fully charged they act primary winding is redirected back to the filter capacitors as power supplies for the IGBT switching circuit. when the IGBTs are turned off.
Control board This machine is provided by an internal VRD (Voltage Control Board Reduction Device) circuitry: this device reduces the voltage at the output leads. The VRD is automatically The control board receives status and enabled / disabled by the machine. The factory default analogue feedback from the inverter board, voltage is: input board and various sensor.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION THERMAL PROTECTION The Invertec V145-S is electrically protected from There are one thermal device located on the output producing higher than normal output currents. An diodes heatsink;it protect the machine from excessive electronic protection circuit limits the current to within the operating temperature.
