Categories Related to AC Arc Welding Machines
There are two types of arc welding machines: DC and AC.
AC arc welders are less expensive and easier to maintain compared to DC arc welders. As a result, AC arc welders are commonly used for do-it-yourself (DIY) applications using household electrical outlets.
An AC arc welding machine is required to be equipped with an electric shock prevention device that suppresses the terminal voltage to 25V or less because of the high voltage at no load (standby state when the arc is not being generated).
AC arc welders are widely used not only at manufacturing sites in factories but also as DIY equipment for home use since the household power supply is AC.
In automobile production lines, semi-automatic welding, in which wire is automatically supplied, is widely used, and body welding is automated by attaching it to a robot.
In TIG welding, which uses tungsten electrodes, some models can switch between AC and DC, enabling the welding of various base materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, and steel.
Various types of arc welding exist, each with different features, advantages, and disadvantages.
