THEORY OF OPERATION
E-4 E-4
SQUARE WAVE TIG 355
HIGH VOLTAGE/
HIGH FREQUENCY CIRCUIT
The control board signals the power board to pass the
115VAC voltage through the feed – thru board to the
primary of the high voltage tarnsformer. The sec-
ondary of the high voltage transformer is coupled to a
spark gap generator and also to the high frequency
transformer. The high frequency transformer transfers
the high frequency “spark” to the electrode terminal.
