ABSTRACT:
A current sensor 20 in the form of a coil such as a toroidal coil provides as its output a current sense signal TS representative of a differential waveform of a welding current I. In a waveform restoring unit 22, integrating circuits 30 and 32 are switchable between an enable state (first state) and a reset state (second state). In the enable state, the current sense signal TS from the current sensor 20 is integrated and issued as integration value signals AIa and AIb representative of a waveform of the welding current I, whereas in the reset state, the integration value signals AIa and AIb are reset to reference values (e.g., 0 volt). A switching circuit 34 detects timings of each cycle or each half-cycle of the welding current I on the basis of a waveform of the current sense signal TS, and alternately switches the states of the integrating circuits 30 and 32 in a complementary manner and at a predetermined timing so that while one is placed in the enable state, the other is in the reset state. An output circuit 36 accepts the integration value signals AIa and AIb from the two integrating circuits 30 and 32 at the above predetermined timing and issues the thus accepted integration value signals as a current waveform restoration signal AI.
