SAFETY
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically hot when the welder is on. Do not touch these hot parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.

ii

ARC RAYS can burn.


4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards. 4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from the arc rays. 4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.

3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation. Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full area of physical contact with work and ground. In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding must be performed under electrically hazardous conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting, kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use the following equipment: Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder. DC Manual (Stick) Welder. AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control. 3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode, electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding gun are also electrically hot. 3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical connection with the metal being welded. The connection should be as close as possible to the area being welded. 3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical (earth) ground. 3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace damaged insulation.

FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous.


5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases.When welding, keep your head out of the fume. Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When welding with electrodes which require special ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV) using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may be required. Additional precautions are also required when welding on galvanized steel. 5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected by various factors including proper use and positioning of the equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specific welding procedure and application involved. Worker exposure level should be checked upon installation and periodically thereafter to be certain it is within applicable OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits. 5.c. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products. 5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe. 5.e. Read and understand the manufacturers instructions for this equipment and the consumables to be used, including the material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your employers safety practices. MSDS forms are available from your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

SAFETY
WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion. CYLINDER may explode if damaged.

iii

6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available. 6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situations. Refer to Safety in Welding and Cutting (ANSI Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the equipment being used. 6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.

7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the application and maintained in good condition. 7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to an undercarriage or fixed support. 7.c. Cylinders should be located: Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to physical damage. A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and any other source of heat, sparks, or flame. 7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically hot parts to touch a cylinder. 7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve. 7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use. 7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l, Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Cylinders, available from the Compressed Gas Association 1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

Return to Master TOC

6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have been cleaned. For information, purchase Recommended Safe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous Substances, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society (see address above). 6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may explode. 6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a welding area.

FOR ELECTRICALLY powered equipment.


8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect switch at the fuse box before working on the equipment. 8.b.

Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions et les prcautions de sret specifiques qui parraissent dans ce manuel aussi bien que les prcautions de sret gnrales suivantes: Sret Pour Soudage A LArc 1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse lectrique: a. Les circuits llectrode et la pice sont sous tension quand la machine souder est en marche. Eviter toujours tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue ou les vtements mouills. Porter des gants secs et sans trous pour isoler les mains. b. Faire trs attention de bien sisoler de la masse quand on soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans les positions assis ou couch pour lesquelles une grande partie du corps peut tre en contact avec la masse. c. Maintenir le porte-lectrode, la pince de masse, le cble de soudage et la machine souder en bon et sr tat defonctionnement. d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-lectrode dans leau pour le refroidir. e. Ne jamais toucher simultanment les parties sous tension des porte-lectrodes connects deux machines souder parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut tre le total de la tension vide des deux machines. f. Si on utilise la machine souder comme une source de courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions pour le porte-lectrode sapplicuent aussi au pistolet de soudage. 2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protger contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais enrouler le cble-lectrode autour de nimporte quelle partie du corps. 3. Un coup darc peut tre plus svre quun coup de soliel, donc: a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant appropri ainsi quun verre blanc afin de se protger les yeux du rayonnement de larc et des projections quand on soude ou quand on regarde larc. b. Porter des vtements convenables afin de protger la peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de larc. c. Protger lautre personnel travaillant proximit au soudage laide dcrans appropris et non-inflammables. 4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont mises de larc de soudage. Se protger avec des vtements de protection libres de lhuile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise paisse, pantalons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.

6. Eloigner les matriaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de prvenir tout risque dincendie d aux tincelles. 7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince une endroit isol de la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un chauffement et un risque dincendie. 8. Sassurer que la masse est connecte le plus prs possible de la zone de travail quil est pratique de le faire. Si on place la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou dautres endroits loigns de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de levage, cbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer des risques dincendie ou dechauffement des chaines et des cbles jusqu ce quils se rompent. 9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage. Ceci est particulirement important pour le soudage de tles galvanises plombes, ou cadmies ou tout autre mtal qui produit des fumes toxiques. 10. Ne pas souder en prsence de vapeurs de chlore provenant doprations de dgraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La chaleur ou les rayons de larc peuvent ragir avec les vapeurs du solvant pour produire du phosgne (gas fortement toxique) ou autres produits irritants. 11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sret, voir le code Code for safety in welding and cutting CSA Standard W 117.2-1974.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Invertec STT II is a 225-ampere inverter based arc welding power source specifically designed for the STT welding process. It is neither a constant current (CC) nor a constant voltage (CV) machine. It is a power source that delivers current of a desired wave form and characteristics that are superior to conventional short circuiting GMAW. The process is optimized for shortcircuiting GMAW welding.

High temperature Class H insulation. Protection circuits and ample safety margins prevent damage to the solid state components from transient voltages and high currents. Preset welding current capability.

STT II offers improvements over the previous model. Approximately 40% increase in deposition rate capability, and a significant increase in travel speed.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
The LN-742 or STT-10 wire feeder is recommended for use with the STT II. The LN-7 GMA, LN-9 GMA, NA-5, and NA-5R can all be used with the STT II. However, these units can only be used to feed wire since these feeders have no provision for control of the STT output.

WELDING CAPABILITY
The Invertec STT II is rated at 225 amps, 29 volts, at 60% duty cycle on a ten minute basis. It is capable of higher duty cycles at lower output currents. If the duty cycle(s) are exceeded, a thermal protector will shut off the output until the machine cools to a reasonable operating temperature.

WELDING PARAMETERS AND GUIDELINES


The Invertec STT II is neither a constant current (CC) nor a constant voltage (CV) power source. In general, wire diameter will be increased one size compared to conventional (CV) power sources. The larger the wire diameter the higher the deposition rate (Up to 1/16). Wire sizes below .035 are unnecessary for most applications. The Invertec STT II is a current controlled machine which is capable of changing the electrode current quickly in order to respond to the instantaneous requirements of the arc and optimize performance. By sensing changes in welding current, and hence the electrode state, the power source will supply varying output currents to minimize spatter. The Peak and Background currents are two such current outputs that can be adjusted. Wire Feed Speed controls the deposition rate. Peak Current controls the Arc Length. Background Current controls the Bead Contour. And Tailout increases Power in the Arc. PEAK CURRENT The Peak Current control acts similar to an arc pinch control. Peak current serves to establish the arc length and promote good fusion. Higher peak current levels will cause the arc to broaden momentarily while increasing the arc length. If set too high, globular type transfer will occur. Setting this level to low will cause instability and wire stubbing. In practice, this current level should be adjusted for minimum spatter and puddle agitation. Adjust Arc Length with Peak Current

Adjusting this level to low will cause wire stubbing and also poor wetting of the weld metal. This is similar to a low voltage setting on a standard CV machine Adjust Bead Shape using Background Current

Return to Section TOC

Return to Master TOC

Note: Background Current levels for applications using 100% CO2 is less than similar procedures involving gas blends with high percentages of Argon. This is a result of the greater heat generated in the 100% CO2 arc. (100% CO2 is 35 volts/cm and 100% Argon is 20 volts/cm. 75% Argon, 25% CO2 is about 24 volts/cm. Contact Tip to Work Distance

Return to Section TOC

Return to Master TOC

HOT START The Hot Start control can be set to enhance establishing the arc and provide the capability of increasing the heat at the start of the weld to compensate for a cold work piece. Hot start adjusts the time that additional current is applied during the starting of the arc. Refer to Operational Features and Controls in this section for a description of this control. Note: In 100% CO2 shielding gas applications the peak current level should be set greater than in a corresponding application using a gas blend with a high percentage of Argon. Longer initial arc lengths with 100% CO2 are required to reduce spatter. BACKGROUND CURRENT The Background Current provides the control for the overall heat input to the weld. Adjusting this level too high will cause a large droplet to form and globular type transfer to occur resulting in increased spatter.
TAILOUT

Return to Section TOC

Return to Master TOC

The tail out provides additional heat without the molten droplet becoming too large. Increase as necessary to add Heat to the arc without increasing arc length. (This will allow for faster travel speeds and produce improved wetting). As tailout is increased, the peal and/or background current is usually reduced.
WELDING ARC PERFORMANCE

For optimum spatter reduction, the arc should be concentrated on the puddle.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Invertec STT is a 225 ampere, inverter based, arc welding power supply specifically designed for the Surface Tension Transfer (STT) welding process. It cannot be classified as either a constant current (CC) or a constant voltage (CV) machine. The STT produces current of a desired waveform to reduce spatter and fumes. The STT process is optimized for short circuit GMAW welding only.

INPUT VOLTAGE
The Invertec STT can be connected for a variety of three-phase voltages. The initial input power is applied to the STT through a line switch located on the front of the machine. The AC input voltage is applied to the input rectifier and the T1 auxiliary transformer. The T1 transformer develops the appropriate AC voltages to operate the cooling fan, the power and control boards. The T1 transformer also supplies primary voltage to the T4 auxiliary transformer as well as 42 VAC to an external wire feeder. The T4 transformer supplies power to the IGBT drive board and the control board.

RECONNECT, PROTECTION BOARD, RECTIFICATION AND PRECHARGE


The reconnect panel allows the user to switch to low or high input voltage to match the input line voltage. The AC input voltage is rectified and applied to the driver board. The driver board contains precharging circuitry for safe charging of the input filter capacitors. Once the capacitors are precharged, the input relays are energized, connecting full input power to the input filter capacitors. The protection board monitors the capacitors for voltage balance and/or overvoltage and will deenergize the input relays and precharge circuitry if either occurs. The machine output will be disabled.

SWITCH BOARDS
There are two switch boards in the Invertec STT, each containing an input filter capacitor. The capacitors are connected in parallel when the machine is connected for "low" input voltage. The capacitors are connected in series when the reconnect switch is configured for "high" input voltage. When the capacitors are fully charged, they act as power supplies for the switch boards. The switch boards contain the Field Effect Transistors (FETs) which, when switched on, supply the main transformer primary windings with DC current flow. See Field Effect Transistor (FET) Operation discussion and diagrams. See Figure E.4.

MAIN TRANSFORMER, OUTPUT RECTIFICATION AND CHOKE


Each switch board works as a switch pair. Each board feeds a separate, oppositely wound primary winding of the main transformer. The opposite directions of current flow through the main transformer primary and the offset timing of the switch boards induce an AC square wave output signal at the secondary of the main transformer. The DC current flow through each primary winding, which is monitored by the current transformer T3, is redirected or "clamped" back to each respective input capacitor when the FETs are turned off. This is needed due to the inductance of the transformer primary windings. The cross coupling of the primaries along with the clamping action of the diode maintain capacitor balance when they are connected in the series (high voltage) input configuration. The firing of both switch board pairs occurs during halves of 50 microsecond intervals, creating a constant 20 KHZ output. The AC output from the main transformer secondary is rectified to a DC output and is applied through a stabilizer output choke, current sensor, IGBT module and remote protection board to the output terminals.

CONTROL BOARD, IGBT DRIVE AND MODULE


The control board monitors the directives of the various controls and compares these commands to the current and voltage feedback information received from the current sensor and voltage sensing receptacle. This data is processed and the suitable PWM signal is sent to the power board. (See Pulse Width Modulation discussion). The control board also determines when the IGBT module should be switched OFF to reduce weld spatter and fumes. The appropriate signal is sent to the IGBT drive board which then applies, or removes, the gate drive signal to the IGBT module. When the IGBT module is in the OFF state, the welding current must pass through the one ohm resistance. This reduces the current and, subsequently, spatter and fumes.

POWER BOARD
The power board creates a pulse transformer drive signal, which is derived from the PWM signal received from the control board. See Pulse Width Modulation discussion. This drive signal is applied to the primary winding of the pulse transformer, which is located on the driver board. The pulse transformer secondary windings generate the proper gate pulse for the switch board FETs. See Field Effect Transistor (FET) Operation. The power board supplies a 15VDC supply voltage for the control board and also powers the input relays (CR1 and CR2).

REMOTE PROTECTION BOARD


The remote protection board provides noise suppression and by-pass filtering to protect the internal circuitry of the STT machine.

FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR (FET) OPERATION


An FET is a type of transistor. FETs are semiconductors well suited for high-frequency switching. Drawing A above shows an FET in a passive mode. There is no gate signal, zero volts relative to the source and, therefore, no current flow. The drain terminal of the FET may be connected to a voltage supply; but since there is no conduction, the circuit will not supply current to downstream components connected to the source. The circuit is turned off like a light switch in the OFF position. Drawing B above shows the FET in an active mode. When the gate signal, a positive DC voltage relative to the source, is applied to the gate terminal of the FET, it is capable of conducting current. A voltage supply connected to the drain terminal will allow the FET to conduct and henceforth supply current to downstream components. Current will flow through the conducting FET to downstream components as long as the gate signal is present. This is similar to turning on a light switch.

PULSE WIDTH MODULATION


Return to Section TOC Return to Master TOC The term PULSE WIDTH MODULATION is used to describe how much time is devoted to conduction in the positive and negative portions of the cycle. Changing the pulse width is known as MODULATION. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is the varying of the pulse width over the allowed range of a cycle to affect the output of the machine.

The positive portion of the signal represents one FET group1 conducting for 1 microsecond. The negative portion is the other FET group1. The dwell time (off time) is 48 microseconds (both FET groups off). Since only 2 microseconds of the 50-microsecond time period is devoted to conducting, the output power is minimized.

MAXIMUM OUTPUT
By holding the gate signals on for 24 microseconds each and allowing only 2 microseconds of dwell time (off time) during the 50-microsecond cycle, the output is maximized. The darkened area under the top curve can be compared to the area under the bottom curve. The more dark area under the curve, the more power is present.

MINIMUM OUTPUT
By controlling the duration of the gate signal, the FET is turned on and off for different durations during a cycle. The top drawing above shows the minimum output signal possible over a 50-microsecond time period.

Return to Section TOC

Return to Master TOC

PROTECTIVE CIRCUITS
Protective circuits are designed into the Invertec machine to sense trouble and shut down the machine before the trouble damages the internal machine components. Both overload and thermal protection circuits are included.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The machine is electrically protected from producing abnormally high output currents due to short electrode stick-out or the nozzle shorting to the work. Should the output current exceed 500 amps, an electronic protection circuit will reduce the current to zero amps. Five seconds after the short is removed the Invertec STT will produce normal output. A protection circuit is included to monitor the voltage across input filter capacitors. In the event that the capacitor voltage is too high, the protection circuit will prevent output. The protection circuit may prevent output, if any of these circumstances occur: 1. Capacitor conditioning is required (Required if machine has been off for prolonged periods of time.) 2. Line surges over 500 VAC 3. Internal Component damage 4. Improper connections Return to Section TOC Return to Master TOC

Thermostats protect the machine from excessive operating temperatures. Excessive temperatures may be caused by a lack of cooling air or operating the machine beyond the duty cycle and output rating. If excessive operating temperature should occur, the thermostat will prevent output voltage or current. The meter will remain on during this time. (In addition, the yellow thermo LED will light.) Thermostats are self-resetting once the machine cools sufficiently. If the thermostat shutdown was caused by excessive output or duty cycle and the fan is operating normally, the Power Switch may be left on and the reset should occur within a 15-minute period. If the fan is not turning or the air intake louvers were obstructed, then the power must be switched off for 15 minutes in order to reset. The fan problem or air obstruction must also be corrected.

TEST PROCEDURE
NOTE: There are two switch boards. One is located on each side of the machine. NOTE: The switch boards are designed to receive gate (turn-on) signals from the driver board (pulse transformer secondaries). The internal board circuitry processes the signals and outputs them to the FETs. The switch board circuitry contains snubber circuitry to protect the FETs. This protection is supplemented by offboard resistors. The switch board design accommodates the connection point(s) for the capacitor(s), main transformer primary windings, input rectifier, and reconnect switches. 1. Turn off Invertec STT and disconnect main AC input power to the machine. 2. Using the 5/16" nut driver, remove the case wraparound cover. 3. Perform the Input Filter Discharge Procedure.
