When amperages of up to 700 A regularly rush through the arc, one thing quickly becomes clear—welding is an energy-intensive process. This brings with it the question: “Is it possible to save energy here?” The answer is a resounding yes! Energy-efficient welding machines and processes are essential in doing so. We show you five features that you should look for in an energy-efficient welding machine. Like many other technical processes, welding also has an impact on the environment; resources such as energy, shielding gas, welding wire, and various wear parts are consumed, while welding fume is released into the atmosphere. There are many different ways to save resources in welding, including the resource-conserving production of welding machines, the use of long-lasting, repairable, and recyclable equipment, opting for multiprocess machines and equipment, and the optimized application of wear parts. But is there much scope for reducing electricity consumption? When it comes to energy efficiency, the technical properties of the welding machine used are key. So the question is, what technical features must a welding machine have in order to weld as energy-efficiently as possible? Inverter technology in place of old analog welding machines The Transarc 500 with inverter technology, first launched […] Der Beitrag Reducing energy consumption during welding—how it’s done erschien zuerst auf Perfect Welding.
