The Effect of the Power Supply Source on the Resistance Welding Process

The research presented in the article involved the analysis of various factors, including 1) type, length and the cross-section of the supply conduit, 2) synchronous/asynchronous operation of welding machines and 3) temperature of the conduit on supply voltage drop in resistance welding machines. The article discusses the unfavourable effect of the above-named voltage drop on the quality of welds, including a decrease in the weld nugget diameter and the reduction of weld strength.
