Ssc greater than or equal to 5.5 MVA. FastMig X 450 is an inverter power source. Topology of the main power circuit is full bridge. The full bridge topology requires four power switches which are implemented using IGBT module. Switching frequency of the power switches is 20 kHz. Power source is controlled by microcontroller with the help of FPGA.
