B-22 In Pulse processes: The wave control adjustment allows the frequency set- ting to vary. Increasing the wave control allows the fre- quency setting to increase, and decreasing the wave control allows the frequency setting to decrease. Varying the wave control setting affects the droplet transfer and allows fine-tuning for different welding positions.
B-23 OVERLOAD PROTECTION THERMAL PROTECTION The Power Wave has thermostatic protection from excessive duty cycles, overloads, loss of cooling, and high ambient temperatures. When the power source is subjected to any of these conditions or any of the con- ditions mentioned above, a thermostat will open. The yellow high temperature light on the case front comes on.
There are two water connections on the rear of the Power Wave. See Figure C.1. Connect the water lines between these connectors and those on the wire feed- er. The water is fed through the feeder into the gun. When a water cooler is used, the water cooler must be enabled by using the Setup Overlay.

g. Install new pump and v-band clamp: • Do not apply any lubricant to pump’s drive coupling. • Pump body is properly oriented with its strainer at the 6:00 position. • Tighten v-clamp with 15 to 30 in-lbs. of torque. h.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. • Do not touch electrically hot parts. ROUTINE AND PERIODIC MAINTENANCE Perform the following preventive maintenance at least once every six months. Prior to performing preventive maintenance it is impor- tant to perform the following capacitor discharge pro- cedure to avoid electric shock.
5. Locate two sets of two resistors on the left side of the machine and three sets of two resistors on the right side of the machine. See Figure D.1. Do not touch the resistors or any other internal machine component.
Page 46
6. Locate the #9 and #12 terminals, identified by the “Discharge” labels, on each of the four Switch Boards. See Figure D.2. 7. Using insulated, needle nose-type jumper leads and insulated gloves, connect one jumper lead to one end of the resistor obtained in step 4. Connect the other jumper lead to the other end of the resistor.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Perform the following preventive maintenance proce- dures at least once every six months. It is good prac- tice to keep a preventive maintenance record; a record tag attached to the machine works best. 1. Remove the hex head screws from the sides and top of the machine.

THEORY OF OPERATION FIGURE E.2 – INPUT VOLTAGE CIRCUIT INPUT CONTACTOR THREE PHASE INPUT POWER AUX. INPUT TRANS LINE SWITCH PROTECTION BOARD GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Power Wave is an inverter type power source that can support most welding procedures. It is modeled after a P.C.
THEORY OF OPERATION INPUT CONTACTOR THREE PHASE INPUT POWER AUX. INPUT TRANS LINE SWITCH PROTECTION BOARD PRECHARGE (SOFT START) The Protection Board contains a “soft Start” circuit, which is powered by the Auxiliary Transformer. During precharge or “soft start” only two phases of the input power, with current limiting, are connected to the input rectifier.
THEORY OF OPERATION FIGURE E.4 – SWITCH BOARD CIRCUIT INPUT CONTACTOR THREE PHASE INPUT POWER AUX. INPUT TRANS LINE SWITCH PROTECTION BOARD SWITCH BOARDS There are four Switch Boards in the Power Wave, each containing an input capacitor. The capacitors on Switch Boards #1 and #2 are always in parallel, and the capacitors on Switch Boards #3 and #4 are always in parallel.
THEORY OF OPERATION INPUT CONTACTOR THREE PHASE INPUT POWER AUX. INPUT TRANS LINE SWITCH PROTECTION BOARD MAIN TRANSFORMER Each Switch Board assembly works as a switch pair. Each board feeds current to a primary winding of the Main Transformer. These primary currents are moni- tored by the Current Transformer (CT).
THEORY OF OPERATION FIGURE E.6 – OUTPUT RECTIFIER AND CHOKE INPUT CONTACTOR THREE PHASE INPUT POWER AUX. INPUT TRANS LINE SWITCH PROTECTION BOARD OUTPUT RECTIFIER AND CHOKE The Output Rectifier receives the AC output from the Main Transformer secondary and rectifies it to a DC level with a 40 kHz ripple.
THEORY OF OPERATION INPUT CONTACTOR THREE PHASE INPUT POWER AUX. INPUT TRANS LINE SWITCH PROTECTION BOARD CONTROL BOARD The Control Board is at the heart of controlling the out- put of the machine. With the information it receives from the Shunt (current feedback), the voltage sensing leads, the wire feeder(s), and the other printed circuit boards, the Control Board optimizes the welding results by regulating the FETs’...
THEORY OF OPERATION INPUT CONTACTOR THREE PHASE INPUT POWER AUX. INPUT TRANS LINE SWITCH PROTECTION BOARD POWER BOARD The Power Board provides gate drives for the FETs on the Switch Boards. It does so based on the “turn-on” signals it receives from the Control Board. One func- tion of the Power Board is to isolate the Control Board from the Switch Boards.
THEORY OF OPERATION INPUT CONTACTOR THREE PHASE INPUT POWER AUX. INPUT TRANS LINE SWITCH PROTECTION BOARD DISPLAY BOARD The Display Board allows the operator to select from the procedures that are programmed into the machine, and it lets the Control Board know which procedure was selected.
E-10 THEORY OF OPERATION THERMAL PROTECTION Two normally closed (NC) thermostats protect the machine from excessive operating temperatures. These thermostats are wired in series and are con- nected to the Control Board. One of the thermostats is located on the heat sink of a switch board, and the other is located on the main choke.
E-11 THEORY OF OPERATION FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR (FET) OPERATION FIGURE E.10 – FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR OPERATION SOURCE TERMINAL SOURCE (N) SUBSTRATE (P) SOURCE (N) An FET is a type of transistor. FETs are semi- conductors well suited for high-frequency switching. Drawing A above shows an FET in a passive mode.
E-12 THEORY OF OPERATION FIGURE E.11 – TYPICAL FET OUTPUTS 1 sec 20 sec The term PULSE WIDTH MODULATION is used to describe how much time is devoted to conduction in the positive and negative por- tions of the cycle. Changing the pulse width is known as MODULATION.
