TECHNOLOGY:

The Discrete IGBT-based 30KHz Full Bridge Inverter Welding Machine refers to a sophisticated and efficient welding technology used in modern welders, such as the Discover 250 Arc. Here’s a breakdown of each term to explain the features:

Discrete IGBT Technology:

  • IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) is a semiconductor device that combines the benefits of both MOSFETs (high-speed switching) and BJTs (high-current handling). IGBTs are crucial in power electronics for their ability to manage high power levels efficiently.

  • In a Discrete IGBT system, each component (IGBT) is a standalone part, not integrated into a single chip. This design allows for flexibility, reliability, and ease of maintenance, making the welding machine highly durable.

Key Features of the Discover 250 Arc:

  • Powerful Performance: Delivers up to 250 amps of output at 60% duty cycle, ideal for heavy-duty welding tasks.

  • Wide Voltage Range: Supports input voltage from 150VAC to 300VAC, ensuring stable performance in varying site conditions.

  • Compact & Portable: Weighs only 12 kg, making it easy to transport between job sites.

  • Durable Construction: Fully metal body with robust design for added durability and protection in harsh environments.

  • Single-Phase Power: Designed for use with a single-phase power supply, perfect for mobile and site-based jobs.

  • Wide Electrodes Compatibility: Supports a variety of electrodes, including 6013 and 7018, in diameters from 1.6mm to 4.0mm.

  • Efficient Cooling: Forced air cooling system for enhanced performance and longer operational life.

  • Reliable Duty Cycle: Operates effectively at 100% duty cycle with 190 amps of output, perfect for extended welding sessions.
