Option 1 : Continuously variable reactor
Welding Transformer:
- These transformers are used to change the alternating current from the power line into a low-voltage, high ampere current in the secondary winding.
- It has a magnetic core with primary winding which is thin and has a large number of turns.
- A secondary winding with less number of turns and a high cross-sectional area.
- The impedance of the welding transformer must be higher than the normal transformer to control arc and also to control current.
- The use of a continuously variable reactor controls the arc as this reactor has a greater reactance obtained due to greater core insertion and hence the output current is less.
We can also use different reactors for controlling the arc. They are:
- Tapped reactor
- Moving coil reactor
- Magnetic shunt reactor
- Saturable Reactor
