I got what your saying my next question would be:
Inverter welders use n channel mosfets in parallel attached to the same heatsink to increase total output of current and voltage then positive terminal is attached to the heatsink thus drawing out all the newly created power to weld with. Unless...
Nothing will occur in a welding machine that is not pre determined PWM or not. Inverter welding machines use pulse width modulation in order to provide a consistent arc but it won't cause the welding machine to exceed its max amperage or voltage rating.
I believe what your alluding to is...
Duty cycle is in reference to the total amount of time you can weld continuously in a ten minute period before the machine has to cool down. It has nothing to do the amount of power it can produce just the total time peak power can be used before heat loss occurs thus loss of power.
If it doesn't then that means every welding machine ever created is lying about how much amperage and voltage is being created, they would have to be lying by a huge margin to such a degree that it would warrant a massive lawsuit. If power in watts is volts X amps or Amps X volts then. Even if I...
How is it possible for a welding machine to end up creating more power than what it started with if that is physically impossible? For ex; 200 amp @ 28vdc welding machine. starts out with main voltage being 120v @ 20amps = 2400 watts then converts it to 200 amps at 28vdc which = 5,600 watts of...
