2. Core Advantages of Medium Frequency Inverter Resistance Welding Machine
Comparison Between MF Inverter Welder & Traditional Power Frequency AC Welder
Comparison Item | Traditional Power Frequency AC Welding Machine | Medium Frequency Inverter DC Welding Controller |
Working Performance | Adjust transformer secondary output via thyristor firing angle; low power factor. Regulation cycle reaches 20ms under 50/60Hz grid. | Converts 3-phase AC to DC, then inverts to medium frequency current via IGBT; power factor over 90%. 1kHz inversion frequency, 1ms ultra-fast adjustment speed (20x quicker than AC models). Higher control precision & stable output. |
Power Grid Adaptation | Single-phase 380V input causes severe 3-phase current imbalance, high reactive power and grid pollution. Multiple machines need large-capacity transformers with extra cost. | Balanced 3-phase 380V input with full-wave rectification, high grid utilization rate, no extra transformer expansion required. |
Welding Energy Control | Current crosses zero leading to discontinuous heating, concentrated heat loss and unstable weld quality. Grid voltage fluctuation & secondary inductance greatly disturb welding current. | Pure DC welding current without zero crossing; concentrated heat reduces energy consumption. Anti-interference against grid fluctuation, less spatter, extended electrode service life. Secondary loop inductance has negligible influence on welding effect. |
Welding Transformer | 50/60Hz low-frequency transformer, bulky size, high power loss and low efficiency under equal power capacity. | 1kHz medium frequency transformer, compact volume, low loss and high efficiency, easy installation. |
General Superiorities of MF Inverter Welding Equipment
Beyond the above comparison merits, medium frequency inverter spot welders support diversified welding parameters and compatible materials, including galvanized steel, coated steel, stainless steel, aluminum and dissimilar metal sheets. The flexible welding characteristic enables wide application across hardware, electronics, new energy and automotive industries.
