various setting options.
4.1

Components of the Power Unit

The power unit consists of the following main assemblies
- Charging unit (1)
- Welding capacitors (3)
Mains alternating current is converted into direct current in the rectifier (1). Welding
capacitors (3) are charged to the adjusted voltage. The capacitors store the energy
which is required for the welding process. The total energy is set by the user via the
charging voltage.
The electronic switch (4) releases the charging voltage in the right time.
The charging process as well as the welding process are controlled by the control
unit (2).
The negative pole of the capacitor is connected to the welding gun.
The positive pole is mostly connected to the work piece via the vice grips.
