Operation principle KEMPPI WELDFORCE -power sources are versatile, MIG/MAG- and MMA-suitable inverters. KEMPPI WELDFORCE -power sources are based on IGBT technology and controlled by PWM principle. The inverter frequency changes by the load, in range of 14 - 24 kHz.
Simplified main circuit diagram Control card A001 Main circuit components Varistors (550V) Filter card Z004 Main switch S001 The filter card Z004 dampens the electromagnetic disturbances conducting to the net (EMI). Varistors (550 V) form an overvoltage protection against low energy voltage spikes. Note! Filter card Z004 and varistors are mounted before the main switch S001!

Main circuit components Secondary choke and shunt resistor Shunt amplifier OCV smoothing circuit Diode cards The main transformer T001 secondary voltages are full-wave rectified by the diode cards. The secondary voltage waves are dampened by secondary choke L002. The secondary circuit current is measured by a shunt resistor.
The cooling unit KWU-10 is connected to connectors X010 and X011. KPS 4500 KPS 5500 The control card A001 is similar in all Kemppi WELDFORCE -power sources. The machine size is coded with short circuit loops, except in Kemppi WELDFORCE 3500, which has no short circuit loops.
Troubleshooting The machine may only be repaired by a technician or a workshop licensed and authorized to do the job! First do a visual check to find any possible loose connectors, broken wires or signs of overheating. Troubleshooting diagram PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY The power source will not start.
