POWER WAVE 450
OUTPUT RECTIFIER AND CHOKE
The Output Rectifier receives the AC output from the
Main Transformer secondary and rectifies it to a DC
level with a 40 kHz ripple.
Since the Output Choke is in series with the positive
leg of the Output Rectifier and also in series with the
welding load, a filtered DC output is applied to the
machine output terminals.
