Operation principle

KEMPPI WELDFORCETM-power sources are versatile, MIG/MAG- and MMA-suitable inverters.

KEMPPI WELDFORCETM-power sources are based on IGBT technology and controlled by PWM

principle. The inverter frequency changes by the load, in range of 14 - 24 kHz.

KEMPPI WELDFORCETM-power sources are microprocessor controlled, so all welding

characteristics are programmatically generated.

KEMPPI WELDFORCETM-power source´s operation principle is shown below:

appr. + 570 V

KEMPPI WELDFORCETM-power source´s

power stage is a traditional half bridge,

where the intermediate circuit DC-voltage is

halved by working capacitors C2 and C3.

IGBT-transistors work as power switches.

When both IGBTs are non-conductive, no

power is transferred.

When the upper IGBT V2 is conductive, the

main transformer T1´s primary side has

positive voltage. When the lower IGBT is

conductive, there is negative voltage.

Power is adjusted by altering the IGBT-

transistors conductive timings (PWM).

The main transformer T1´s secondary

voltages are rectified by a full-wave

rectifier.

Simplified main circuit diagram

Control card A001

The filter card Z004 dampens the electromagnetic disturbances conducting to the net (EMI).

Varistors (550 V) form an overvoltage protection against low energy voltage spikes. Note! Filter

card Z004 and varistors are mounted before the main switch S001!

Primary choke

The primary rectifier VG101 rectifies the net voltage. The primary choke L001 limits the in-

rush current during switching and filters the DC-voltage together with the smoothing capacitors.

RC-protection

Inverter´s main parts are the workcapacitors, IGBT-transistors and the main transformer T001.

Inverter´s power adjustment is based on pulse width modulation (PWM). RC-protections ease the

stress on the semiconductors.

(KEMPPI WELDFORCETM 5500)

The chokes LL301 and LL302 of the commutation unit reduce the losses of the IGBTs during

the switching. The current transformer LT301 monitors the primary side current. According

to it´s measurement the frequency of the power source is adjusted (14… 24 kHz).

Secondary choke and shunt resistor

Shunt amplifier

OCV smoothing circuit

The main transformer T001 secondary voltages are full-wave rectified by the diode cards. The

secondary voltage waves are dampened by secondary choke L002. The secondary circuit current

is measured by a shunt resistor. The shunt´s voltage is amplified by shunt amplifier A001/2 and

taken to control card A001´s PWM-adjuster.

No 220 V coil!

From auxiliary transformer T002 secondary voltages are formed the supply voltages for A001

and control cable connection´s auxiliary units.

Control cable connections

The auxiliary units are connected to power source´s control cable connectors X006 and X007.

The cooling unit KWU-10 is connected to connectors X010 and X011.

The control card A001 is similar in all Kemppi WELDFORCETM -power sources. The machine size

is coded with short circuit loops, except in Kemppi WELDFORCETM 3500, which has no short

circuit loops.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY

The power source will not start.

The signal lamps remain blank.

The net fuse has burnt. A faulty

supply cable.

A faulty auxiliary transformer

T002.

A faulty control card A001.

Check the net fuses. Check the 3

phases coming to power source´s

connector X1.

Check the auxiliary transformer´s

secondary voltages from control

card A001, between connectors

X12 - X11 and X12 - X10 (appr.

20 VAC).

Update the control card´s flash

memory program. If

reprogramming will not solve the

problem, replace the control card

A001.

Net fuses blow immediately

when the power source is

switched on.

A faulty primary circuit

semiconductor.

Check the semiconductors on the

primary side.

The power source doesn´t reach

maximum power.

The net fuses has blown. A faulty

supply cable. A faulty primary

rectifier VG101. A faulty secondary

diode card.

Check the net fuses, supply cable

and the primary rectifier VG101.

Check the condition of the

secondary diode cards.

The fans remain rotating after

power source startup.

A faulty control card A001. Reprogram the control card A001

flash-memory. If reprogramming

will not solve the problem, then

replace control card A001.

The machine may only be repaired by a technician or a workshop licensed and authorized to

do the job!

First do a visual check to find any possible loose connectors, broken wires or signs of

overheating.
