#weldingmachine #ACtoDC #arcwelder Hello... In this video, as I promised to many of my viewers, I tried to show how to convert the output voltage from AC to DC in an affordable way for the Arc Welding Machine I made before. Of course, the process I did is not only valid for this machine. You can convert the output voltage of your welding machine with AC output to DC with this method. The materials I use are quite affordable. Total price under $10. For the rectification process, I used 5 bridge diodes of 50 Ampere KPBC5010. By connecting the bridge diodes in parallel, I have increased the current resistance to 250 Amps. You can use 5 bridge diodes in the same way for your 200 Amp welding machines. For higher current welders, the number of diodes needs to be increased. I connected a 4700 microfarad capacitor to the output. In this way, the AC output voltage from 40V has increased to 60 Volts. Of course this voltage will drop during welding, but for the first start of the arc it is better to have a higher voltage. We can weld materials such as stainless steel by converting our output voltage to DC. In addition, the weld seam is smoother. Besides, you can use your welding machine as a TIG welding machine. Of course, there will be other materials needed for this as well. Maybe we can try that in the future. I hope you enjoyed my video and my procedures were clear.
