General terminology
|
Single Phase connection (1ph)
Electrical network, where it is only possible to connect single-phase equipment (2 cables + earth). Normally this electrical connection is used, on the homes.
Three phase connection (3Ph)
Electrical network, where it is only possible to connect three phases (3 cables + earth). Normally this electrical connection is used, for professional use / companies.
Electrical Arc
Is the space, in between the electrode / wire and the piece to be Weld, This arc is where the electricity is transmitted to the piece to meld it with heating.
Regulation Range
Shows the minimal and maximum current output that the welding machine can delivery to Weld.
Alternating current (AC)
Electric current that changes the direction at regular intervals, defined by the cycles of the network 50 or 60 Hz,.
Both connectors of the machine, has the same characteristics. With Alternating current can be Weld electrodes (MMA), with coated rutil, and with TIG, Magnesium and ALUMINIUM.
Direct current (DC)
Electrical current that in doesn’t change the direction, as does the AC.
Each connector of the machine (Poles) has different polarity and is shown (+) and( -). With the DC current, can be weld MMA electrodes and with TIG; Steel, Stainless Steel, Titanium, Bronze, nickel and brass.
Fuse
This protection, protects the equipment to absorb more energy of what it is made for, and stop the delivery of current in case of over current.
Inverter:
Electronic Welding machine. This technology offer different advantages as Weight Reduction, Better performance, and better Energy efficiency. Normally delivers DC current, but there is as well with AC/DC.
Microprocessor
Electronic component, with a reduced size. It is used to develop applications and functions to have a better or total control of the welding machines.
Electrodes / hours
Number of electrodes (MMA) that a welding machine can Weld in one hour. This is in direct relation with the Duty Cycle.
Negative Pole / Polarity (-)
In the DC Welding machines, the negative pole has different characteristics over the positive pole, basically deliver less heating to the piece, and is used to connect the TIG Torch.
Positive Pole/ Polarity (+)
In the DC Welding machines, the positive pole has different characteristics over the negative pole, basically deliver more temperature / heating over the piece.
Overload protection
Stops the welding or output current when the welding machine overpass it’s Duty cycle (ELECTRODES/ HOUR) and recover the delivery of current when the temperature decrease.
OCV (Open Circuit Voltage)
Is the Tension, in Volts, in between the Poles/Cables (+) and (-). Es la tensión, medida en voltios, presente en los cables terminales del equipo. La tensión es necesaria para tener inmediatamente la corriente de soldadura apenas se cierra el circuito electrodo y pieza para soldar.
Transformer
Traditional welding machine. This type of welding machines has same disadvantages against Inverters as: are heavier, bigger Volume and much lower current efficiency. Biggest advantage are Robustness and AC current output.
Inverkontrol
Over current protection system designed by Solter® that protects the welding machines when the voltage exceeds certain limit.
