Welding

Overview
Arc welding is an assembling process that joins metal parts by causing their fusion through high-current flowing through the electrode and the base material. The current, either DC or AC, is generated by a specifically designed high-frequency inverter switched mode power supply (SMPS) usually based on half-bridge, full-bridge, and two-transistor forward topologies.  The main requirements in an SMPS for welding are high efficiency and reliability as well as power density to enable lighter and more compact designs.
