1. Advantages: Medium Frequency VS Conventional Line-Frequency Welding Equipment
Comparison Item | Conventional Line-Frequency AC Welding Machine | Medium-Frequency Inverter DC Welding System |
Welding Performance | Adjust output current by thyristor firing angle; low power factor. Long adjustment cycle up to 20ms, slow response and poor control accuracy. | Three-phase AC-DC-IGBT inversion design. 1ms ultra-fast adjustment response, 20 times faster than traditional machines. Steady current output and outstanding control accuracy. |
Power Grid Adaptability | Single-phase 380V input, causing severe three-phase current imbalance. Low grid utilization rate, high reactive power and serious grid harmonic pollution. | Balanced three-phase 380V input with full-wave rectification. Power factor reaches above 90%, no grid pollution, supporting multi-machine parallel operation stably. |
Welding Current Control | AC current with regular zero-crossing blank heating. Dispersed welding heat, unstable welding quality and obvious welding spatter. Easily affected by grid voltage fluctuation. | Pure DC output without current zero-crossing. Centralized welding heat, less spatter, longer electrode service life. Almost no influence from secondary circuit inductance and grid fluctuation. |
Supporting Transformer | 50/60Hz low-frequency transformer, bulky volume, heavy weight, high power loss and low working efficiency. | 1kHz medium frequency transformer, compact structure, low loss, high efficiency, easy installation and layout inside welding machines. |
