Welding Inverter Design Calculator
Size a two-switch forward welding inverter: transformer turns and copper, output choke, switch currents and losses, mains demand, and the arc load characteristic.
Size a two-switch forward welding inverter: transformer turns and copper, output choke, switch currents and losses, mains demand, and the arc load characteristic.
Find a low-loss litz strand diameter and count for your winding window. Compare equal-copper solid wire and foil, including skin effect, proximity effect and current harmonics.
Size the slope compensation and design a Type-II voltage loop for CCM buck, boost and flyback converters. Inspect sampled-data peaking, all gain crossings, Bode plots and a linear load-step estimate.
Size DAB inductance and phase shift, find both bridges’ ZVS limits, and calculate RMS and peak currents. Compare SPS, EPS, DPS and TPS with animated waveforms.
Check whether an LC input filter threatens converter stability. Compare RC and RL damping, two-stage filters, ripple attenuation, losses and small-signal transients.
Estimate IGBT inverter losses and heatsink requirements including base spreading. Compare footprint and thickness effects on resistance and hot-spot temperature.
Size an LLC tank, compare FHA with exact PO/NP gain, and check ZVS charge margin and component stress for half-bridge or full-bridge operation.
Size or check a flyback transformer in DCM or CCM. Calculate inductance, turns ratio, peak and RMS currents, device voltage stress, winding estimates and an RCD clamp.
Size a gapped ferrite inductor and check peak flux, copper loss and iGSE core loss. Compare air-gap and ripple-duty tradeoffs with published ferrite baselines.
Size mains and ferrite bridge transformers with turns per volt, peak flux, window fill, copper and core losses, and temperature rise. Includes traceable loss models and winding checks.
Compare SPWM, SVPWM, THIPWM and DPWM0–3. Animate the space-vector hexagon, inspect seven-segment switching and dwell times, and compare current ripple and relative switching loss.
Design a non-inverting four-switch buck-boost power stage. Check CCM/DCM operation, inductor and capacitor sizing, RMS and peak stresses, and optional iGSE core loss.
Size the inductor and output capacitor of a continuous-conduction buck converter and inspect its triangular inductor current.
