This paper applies the arc detection algorithm to prevent the false detection in photo voltaic series arc detection circuit, which is required not only to detect the series arc quickly, but also not falsely detect the arc for the non-arc noise. For this purpose, this study proposes a rapid and preventive false detection method of single peak noise and short noise signals. First, to prevent false detection by single peak noise, Discrete wavelet transform (DWT)-based characteristic parameters are applied to determine the shape and the amplitude of the noise. In addition, arc fault detection within a few milliseconds is performed with the DWT iterative algorithm to quickly prevent false detection for short noise signals, considering the continuity of serial arc noise. Thus, the method operates not only to detect series arc, but also to avoid false arc detection for peak and short noises. The proposed algorithm is applied to real-time serial arc detection circuit based on the TMS320F28335 DSP. The serial arc detection and peak noise filtering performances are verified in the built simulated arc test facility. Furthermore, the filtering performance of short noise generated through DC switch operation is confirmed.

This paper presents a new circuit topology of DC busline switch and snubbing capacitor-assisted full-bridge soft-switching PWM inverter type DC-DC power converter with a high frequency link for low voltage large current applications as DC feeding systems, telecommunication power plants, automotive DC bus converters, plasma generator, electro plating plants, fuel cell interfaced power conditioner and arc welding power supplies. The proposed power converter circuit is based upon a voltage source-fed H type full-bridge high frequency PWM inverter with a high frequency transformer link. The conventional type high frequency inverter circuit is modified by adding a single power semiconductor switching device in series with DC rail and snubbing lossless capacitor in parallel with the inverter bridge legs. All the active power switches in the full-bridge inverter arms and DC busline can achieve ZVS/ZVT turn-off and ZCS turn-on commutation operation. Therefore, the total switching losses at turn-off and turn-on switching transitions of these power semiconductor devices can be reduced even in the high switching frequency bands ranging from 20 kHz to 100 kHz. The switching frequency of this DC-DC power converter using IGBT power modules is selected to be 60 kHz. It is proved experimentally by the power loss analysis that the more the switching frequency increases, the more the proposed DC-DC converter can achieve high performance, lighter in weight, lower power losses and miniaturization in size as compared to the conventional hard switching one. The principle of operation, operation modes, practical and inherent effectiveness of this novel DC-DC power converter topology is proved for a low voltage and large current DC-DC power supplies of arc welder applications in industry.

This paper presents two new circuit topologies of the dc busline side active resonant snubber assisted voltage source high frequency link soft switching PWM full-bridge dc-dc power converters acceptable for either utility ac 200V-rms or ac 400V-rms input grid. These high frequency switching dc-dc converters proposed in this paper are composed of a typical voltage source-fed full-bridge PWM inverter, high frequency transformer with center tap, high frequency diode rectifier with inductor input filter and dc busline side series switches with the aid of a dc busline parallel capacitive lossless snubber. All the active switches in the full-bridge arms as well as dc busline snubber can achieve ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off transition commutation with the aid of a transformer leakage inductive component and consequently the total switching power losses can be effectively reduced. So that, a high switching frequency operation of IGBTs in the voltage source full bridge inverter can be actually designed more than about 20 kHz. It is confirmed that the more the switching frequency of full-bridge soft switching inverter increases, the more soft switching PWM dc-dc converter with a high frequency transformer link has remarkable advantages for its power conversion efficiency and power density implementations as compared with the conventional hard switching PWM inverter type dc-dc power converter. The effectiveness of these new dc-dc power converter topologies can be proved to be more suitable for low voltage and large current dc-dc power supply as arc welding equipment from a practical point of view.

In this paper, magnetic force on acting arc was analyzed by 3-D FEM for three DC arc-quenching rooms having different magnetic flux paths. We measured arc breaking time in prototypes by experiment so that we compared the relation of magnetic force and arc breaking time. Finally, we present the techniques for magnetically-driven arc and for the prediction of arc breaking time.

일반적으로 아크용접기의 정류기로 다이오드정류기가 사용되고 있다. 이것의 문제점은 높은 고조파전류가 발생된다는 것이고 아울러 전원측의 오염문제를 야기한다. 본 논문에서는 PWM 컨버터를 사용함으로써 아크용접기의 입력특성이 개선됨을 보인다. 회로구조상 다이오드 정류기와 PWM컨버터로 대체되고 부하단에 안정적인 전력을 공급하기 위하여 직류단전압이 PI제어기에 의해 제어된다. PI 제어기가 직류단 전압제어를 위해 사용되는 경우 예측불가능한 용접부하의 특성상 높은 전압맥동성분이 발생된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전압제어기의 속응성을 개선하기 위하여 전향보상기가 도입되었고 이의 분석을 통하여 전압제어기의 외란으로 간주되는 부하전류의 변동이 전압의 맥동성분에 영향을 줄이는 이론적 예측을 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 검증한다.

본 연구에서는 일반적으로 용접기의 전원장치로 사용되어지는 풀-브리지 회로에 2개의 스위치와 2개의 무손실 스너버 부분 공진 커패시터, 2개의 다이오드로 구성된 간단한 액티브 보조 부분 공진 스너버를 추가한 새로운 하프 브리지 소프트 스위칭 PWM DC-DC 컨버터를 제안하였다. 제안한 하프 브리지 소프트 스위칭 DC-DC 컨버터 회로는 기존 회로의 DC 버스라인 스위치에 발생되는 도통 손실을 저감하여 고주파 변압기의 1차측의 전류가 2차측보다 작아지는 저 전압, 대전류 직류출력을 얻어 수 있었다. 그리고, 모든 영역에서 ZCS/ZVS 동작하므로써 저전압, 대전류 직류 출력의 스위칭 전원 장치에 있어 고주파, 고효율, 고출력을 실현할 수 있다. 이러한 모든 사항은 시뮬레이션과 실험 결과로부터 도출하였으며, 제안한 회로의 단점을 보완할 경우에는 차세대형 TIG MIG MAG 아크 용접기용 전원으로 용이할 것으로 판단된다.

A new primary-side-assisted zero-voltage and zero-current switching full bridge DC-DC converter with transformer isolation is proposed. The auxiliary circuit adopted to assist ZCS for the leading leg is composed of only one small transformer and two diodes. It has a simple and robust structure, and load current control capability even in short circuit conditions. Possibility of magnetic saturation due to asymmetricity of circuits or transient phenomena is greatly reduced, which is a very attractive feature in DC/DC converters with transformer isolation. The power rating of the auxiliary transformer is about 10% of that of the main transformer. Operation of a 12.5KW prototype designed for welding application was verified by experiments.

This work is concerned with the formation behavior of PEO (Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation) films on Al6082 alloy under the application of direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) in an alkaline solution. Arc initiation voltage became much lower by the application of AC than DC, and arc initiation time became shorter under DC than AC. The number of pores present in the PEO films was much larger than that on the surface, irrespective of DC and AC. It was also found that the number of pores in the PEO films formed under AC was more than that under DC and the size of pores is smaller under AC than DC. During the formation of PEO films, a lot of heat was generated and solution temperature increased more rapidly under DC than under AC which is attributed to high PEO film formation voltage under DC than AC.
