IDW Series Medium Frequency Inverter Resistance Welding Controller | Complete Specifications

The IDW Series Medium Frequency Inverter Resistance Welding Controller is an advanced MFDC (Medium Frequency Direct Current) control system specially designed for industrial resistance welding equipment. Compared with traditional line-frequency AC welding controllers, our medium-frequency inverter controller features balanced three-phase input, higher power factor, precise millisecond-level control, stable DC output and lower energy consumption. Widely used in spot welding, projection welding, nut welding, seam welding and automated welding production lines.

1. Advantages: Medium Frequency Inverter VS Traditional Line Frequency Welding Machine

Comparison Category
Conventional Line-Frequency AC Welding Machine
Medium-Frequency Inverter DC Controller
Performance
Adjust the secondary voltage through thyristor firing angle; low power factor. Long adjustment cycle (20ms).
IGBT inversion technology, 1kHz working frequency. Ultra-fast 1ms response time, 20 times faster than traditional machines. Higher control accuracy and stable output.
Power Grid
Single-phase 380V input, severe three-phase imbalance, high grid pollution and low grid utilization.
Three-phase 380V balanced input. Power factor over 90%, low grid fluctuation and energy saving.
Power Control
AC current with zero-crossing blank heating. Poor heat concentration, unstable welding quality and obvious current fluctuation.
Pure DC output without zero-crossing. Concentrated welding heat, less spatter, longer electrode life, not affected by grid voltage fluctuation.
Transformer
50/60Hz low-frequency transformer, bulky size, heavy weight and high loss.
1kHz medium frequency transformer, compact structure, low loss, high efficiency and easy installation.
