Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method includes receiving data corresponding to a voltage level over time and a current level over time. The method also includes determining a first ratio corresponding to a voltage ramp percent or a voltage falling edge percent with respect to a peak in the voltage level and determining a second ratio corresponding to a current ramp ratio or a current falling edge ratio with respect to a peak in the current level. The method further includes determining, based on a comparison between the first ratio and the second ratio, whether to increment, decrement, or maintain an inductance compensation estimation value corresponding to an estimated inductance present in one or more secondary components associated with the welding operation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A welding system, comprising: a welding power supply configured to supply power for a welding operation; a welding torch coupled to the welding power supply via a torch cable; a fixture configured to secure a workpiece in a welding location; a ground cable coupled to the welding power supply and at least one of the fixture and the workpiece; and control circuitry that in operation monitors a measured voltage; periodically determines, throughout…
