摘要

This paper presents a circuit structure with a novel inverter that is applicable to arc welding machines. The output rectifier configuration adopts the current doubler rectifier with two coupled inductors. The proposed inverter topology can keep the energy stored in the coupled inductor until the next commutation interval. Moreover, the conduction loss will be lower, which improve the conversion efficiency of the arc welding machine. The operation principle, control circuit, and inverter design example are also described in detail. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed inverter topology.
