Welding Power Supply Having Improved Supplemental Power Circuit

View page
US Patent:
6384373, May 7, 2002
Filed:
Oct 3, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/678270
Inventors:
Brian A. Schwartz - Appleton WI
Steven J. Geissler - Little Chute WI
Assignee:
Illinois Tool Works - Glenview IL
International Classification:
B23K 910
US Classification:
2191301
Abstract:
A power circuit for a welding power supply includes a control circuit, a power conversion circuit, a filter circuit, and a supplemental power circuit. The control circuit is configured to provide control signals to the power conversion circuit. The power conversion circuit is configured to generate a welding power based on the control signals. The filter circuit is configured to filter the welding power and to provide the filtered welding power at a welding output. The supplemental power circuit is configured to provide a supplemental power, wherein the supplemental power circuit is coupled across the filter circuit such that the filter circuit filters the supplemental power.

Power Convertor With Low Loss Switching

US Patent:
6426888, Jul 30, 2002
Filed:
Feb 7, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/778697
Inventors:
Steven Geissler - Little Chute WI
Assignee:
Illinois Tool Works Inc. - Glenview IL
International Classification:
H02M 704
US Classification:
363 89, 363 53
Abstract:
A welding power supply includes an input rectifier that receives sinusoidal or alternating line voltage and provides a rectified voltage. A pre-regulator provides a dc bus and a convertor, such as a boost convertor, provides a welding output. The pre-regulator is an SVT (slow voltage transition) and an SCT (slow current transition) switched convertor. It may include a snubber circuit having a diode that is SVT switched. Also, the boost convertor may be SVT and SCT switched. The pre-regulator preferably includes a power factor correction circuit. The power source includes, in one embodiment, an inverter having a snubber circuit having a first switch in anti-parallel with a first diode, and a second switch in anti-parallel with a second diode. The first switch and first diode are connected in series with the second switch and the second diode, and the first and second switches are connected in opposing directions, to form a switched snubber.

Isolation Circuit For Providing Isolation From A Switch Of A Welding Power Supply

View page
US Patent:
6614670, Sep 2, 2003
Filed:
Oct 3, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/678512
Inventors:
Steven Geissler - Little Chute WI
Assignee:
Illinois Tool Works - Glenview IL
International Classification:
H01F 3600
US Classification:
363 5601, 363 2112, 363 2115, 363 27
Abstract:
A circuit for controlling the welding power of a welding power supply includes a control circuit, a switch, and an isolation circuit. The control circuit is configured to generate a command signal. The isolation circuit has a flyback transformer and is configured to receive the command signal and to provide a switch drive signal to the switch in response to the command signal. The switch provides welding power in response to the switch drive signal.

Method And Apparatus For Receiving A Universal Input Voltage In A Welding, Plasma Or Heating Power Source

View page
US Patent:
6815639, Nov 9, 2004
Filed:
Jul 21, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/624851
Inventors:
Steven J. Geissler - Little Chute WI
Assignee:
Illinois Tool Works Inc. - Glenview IL
International Classification:
B23K 910
US Classification:
2191301, 363142
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing welding type power is disclosed. The power source is capable of receiving any input voltage over a wide range of input voltages and includes an input rectifier that rectifies the ac input into a dc signal. A dc voltage stage converts the dc signal to a desired dc voltage and an inverter inverts the dc signal into a second ac signal. An output transformer receives the second ac signal and provides a third ac signal that has a current magnitude suitable for welding, cutting or induction heating. The welding type current may be rectified and smoothed by an output inductor and an output rectifier. A controller provides control signals to the inverter and a controller power supply can also receive a range of input voltages and provide a control power signal to the controller, and a voltage independent of the input voltage.
