How is the actual power of an AC welding machine calculated? ?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, “How to calculate the actual power of an AC welding machine?” ”I am currently working on calculating the electrical load for construction purposes, and there’s one thing I don’t understand: it’s impossible to determine the actual power consumption of AC welding machines (380V). If we calculate it by multiplying the rated power by the number of machines, the resulting figure is extremely high, far exceeding the capacity of the transformer. Could anyone please give me some advice? ! Thank you
I guess I should ask the electrical department about this?
The power is relatively low when idle; when welding, pay attention to the current level!
The load condition can only be determined based on the rated power of the welding machine. During use, as the setting level adjusted on the welding machine changes, so does the output current, which is determined by the material being welded.
