The mains voltage is filtered by the power supply board. Power board 15AP1 rectifies the mains voltage. Transistor Q5 is the switching element in a switched voltage supply. The secondary voltage, +24 V, is sensed by IC2 and controlled by IC1. The isolation voltage of transformer T1 and optocoupler IC3 is 4 kV. 2AP1:3 Secondary circuit The secondary circuit delivers the following voltages: +24 V The voltage is controlled by IC1 on the primary side.

S0740 800 161/E061205/P66 -19 -ct27d10. AP1 Power board WARNING! Dangerous voltage -mains voltage.

Never make any measurements on this board when the machine is connected to the mains supply. The power module is a single forward converter, operating at a switching frequency of 65 kHz. Supply to 2AP1 The board supplies power supply board 2AP1 with 325 V DC (pins F1 and F3, connector 15XS1).

Gate driver stages Transformer TR1 is a gate driver transformer for galvanic isolation of the drive circuits from controller board 20AP1. Fuses S10 and S20 protect the gate driver circuit if the IGBT transistors fail. 15AP1 Component positions Pin positions of the semiconductor module S0740 800 161/E061205/P66 -22 -ct27d15. 15AP2 Secondary board The secondary board is fitted on the main transformer 15TM1, diode module 15D1 and inductor 15L1. Diode module 15D1 comprises two diodes, rectifier and freewheel diode. During the time interval between two voltage pulses from transformer 15TM1, the freewheel diode maintain the welding current from inductor 15L1.

AP1 Control board The processor on the control board monitors and controls the various functions of the power source. It obtains information on welding data from the control panel. If the circuit board is faulty, it must be replaced. Replacement circuit boards must be configured, see page 33. When power to the machine is turned off, the display also shows ” ” to confirm that the processor has stored the current data.

V, version 2 of 20AP1 +5 and 2. V power supply, circuit board version 2 IC6 monitors the 24 V voltage supply to the 5 V regulator on circuit board 2AP1.

-15 V The -15 V power supply is monitored by the processor. The voltage can be tested by a service function: Circuit board version 1, see service function no. 25 on page 40.

Circuit board version 2, see service function no. 18 on page 42. +10 VB Voltage regulator VR3 produces a stabilised +10 V supply, which is used to supply the remote control unit. LED display driver Version 1 of 20AP1 LED display driver, version 1 of 20AP1 The display window and the LEDs are driven by IC16, which is controlled by the processor. Version 2 of 20AP1 LED display driver, version 2 of 20AP1 The display window, the display LEDs and LEDs LED1 to LED3 are driven by transistors Q2 and Q10-Q25, which are controlled by the processor. Rotary encoder input The pulse generator on the control panel is supplied at +5 V. Pulses are supplied from the pulse generator to connections MMC18 and MMC19 with a 90 mutual phase displacement.

The pulse generator generates pulses only when its shaft is turned. Resistors R114 and R116 are pull-up resistors. Push button filters All pushbuttons are connected to 0 V, so that pressing any of them pulls down the corresponding input (MMC22 - MMC32) to 0 V. 20AP1:3 Remote control input If the remote control input is activated, but there is no reference signal, resistor R54 holds the reference input low. This results in a welding current of 3 A for TIG welding and 4 A for MMA welding.

The remote control input can be tested by a service function: Circuit board version 1, see service function no. Version 2 of circuit board 20AP1 15ST2, which is fitted on the heat sink, opens at 85 C.

15ST1, which is fitted in the winding of the main transformer, 15TM1, opens at 130 C. If either of the switches operates, the power source is stopped, a fault code is displayed and the temperature indication LED on the control panel lights. 20AP1:7 Arc voltage monitoring This circuit measures and scales the arc voltage to a suitable level for the processor. 64 V arc voltage produces a voltage signal at the cathode of diode D13, 5.1 V at version 1 of the board and 5.0 V at version 2.

When the current exceeds 10 A during welding start, the no-load voltage control is deactivated. 20AP1:9 Welding process control The processor inputs are the set values of welding data and the arc voltage. The processor also calculates a set value signal for welding current, and supplies this to the current control amplifier. The process regulator control principle Hot start MMA Peak current Adjustable starting current.

The hot start current, phase 2 above, is engaged for 240 milliseconds. It is set in per cent of the set current, but does never exceed the peak current. 20AP1:10 Machine type configuration This circuit board is used for different machines, therefore it must be configured. 20AP1 Component positions Component positions for version 1 of circuit board 20AP1 S0740 800 161/E061205/P66 -34 -ct27d20. Component positions for version 2 of circuit board 20AP1 S0740 800 161/E061205/P66 -35 -ct27d20.
