THEORY OF OPERATION
E-3
IDEALARC SP-250
CONSTANT VOLTAGE OUTPUT
The controlled DC output from the SCR rectifier
assembly is filtered by the capacitor bank and the out-
put choke, which is in series with the gun and welding
load, resulting in a constant voltage output at the out-
put terminals of the machine.
