    AP1 Power board WARNING! Dangerous voltage - - mains voltage. Never make any measurements on this board when the machine is connected to the mains supply. The power module is a single forward converter, operating at a switching frequency of 65 kHz.
  • Page 11: Supply To 2Ap1

    Supply to 2AP1 The board supplies power supply board 2AP1 with 325 V DC (pins F1 and F3, connector 15XS1). Gate driver stages Transformer TR1 is a gate driver transformer for galvanic isolation of the drive circuits from controller board 20AP1. Fuses S10 and S20 protect the gate driver circuit if the IGBT transistors fail.

  • Page 13: 15Ap2 Secondary Board

    15AP2 Secondary board The secondary board is fitted on the main transformer 15TM1, diode module 15D1 and inductor 15L1. Diode module 15D1 comprises two diodes, rectifier and freewheel diode. During the time interval between two voltage pulses from transformer 15TM1, the freewheel diode maintain the welding current from inductor 15L1.
  • Page 14: 20Ap1 Control Board

    AP1 Control board The control board monitors and controls the various functions of the power source. If the board is faulty, it must be replaced. After replacing the board, soft--start the machine. See the instructions on page 18. 20AP1:1 Power supply Voltage regulator VR1 produces an output voltage of +20 ¦1.0 V.
  • Page 15: 20Ap1:4 Temperature Monitoring

    The pulse width modulator determines the frequency and pulse duration of the switch transistors’ control pulses. IC3 controls the pulse frequency, the pulse time and inhibition of pulses. The pulse frequency is 65 kHz +/--1 kHz, with a maximum pulse width of 42 -- 44 % of the cycle width.
  • Page 16: 20Ap1:6 Arc Voltage Monitoring

    20AP1:6 Arc voltage monitoring The open--circuit voltage controller senses the voltage at the welding current terminals and limits it to a level between 60 and 71 V. This function is inactive during welding, i.e. when the shunt voltage is higher than 2.1 mV. When the OrigoArc is in welding mode, the maximum output voltage is 110 V.

    The soft--starting tool SST 1 is made for the CaddyArc, CaddyTig, OrigoTig and OrigoArc. It can be ordered from ESAB, ordering no. 0459 534 880. The tool includes: Soft starting rectifier, cable set, voltage test board, gate pulse load and shunt voltage resistor for the OrigoArc.
  • Page 18: Soft Starting

    Soft starting We recommend soft starting of the machine after replacing control circuit board 20AP1, power supply board 2AP1 and circuit boards or components in the power module. Soft starting supplies the power module with a low voltage in order to avoid injury to persons or damage to components.

  • Page 20: Checking Rectifier And Freewheel Diodes

    Checking rectifier and freewheel diodes Disconnect the machine from the mains. Dismantle the housing of the machine. Use a Torx key no. T25 to unscrew and remove five screws from circuit board 15AP2. The screws are marked on the picture below, Bend out the circuit board so that it has no contact with the connections of the diode module.
  • Page 21: Checking The Gate Pulses

    Checking the gate pulses When checking the gate pulses, the machine can either be in soft--start mode or in normal operation mode. Special equipment To measure the gate pulses, you need a gate pulse load and a shunt voltage resistor. This is included in soft--starting tool SST 1, which is described on page 17.
