Talk:Welding power supply

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] CV power supply design

User:Dr. Crash added the following text to GTAW on December 24, 2005, referring to the power supply used in GTAW:

This is in contrast to GMAW or MIG welding that use constant voltage power supplies. The actual technology may be as simple as a saturable-field transformer followed by diode rectifiers to obtain DC current if desired, or may be a complex switching-mode power supply, sometimes called an "inverter" power supply.

I don't think this should be part of the GTAW page, since it's getting rather technical. Also, since it's unreferenced, it probably shouldn't be put anywhere until it's verified with a source. Finally, I'm not sure how to incorporate it into this article, so I'm putting it here for the time being. --Spangineeres (háblame) 22:11, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
