ABSTRACT:
An engine driven arc welder including a welding generator driven by an engine; output circuits for controlling the output of the welding generator in accordance with a control signal and for delivering the output to welding output terminals; a current detector for detecting the current flowing in the welding output terminals; an error detector for comparing the output of the current detector with a reference signal to detect error; a control signal producing circuit for producing the control signal in accordance with output of the error detector and for delivering it to the output circuit; and a voltage detector R10, VR10 for detecting voltage to be delivered to the welding output terminals, wherein the arc welder has a welding output characteristic having a constant current control arc characteristic in accordance with the reference signal and which exhibits a drooping characteristic in the vicinity of the arcing voltage and which is capable of increasing the current when the arc voltage is lowered. The engine driven arc welder includes an adjustment circuit VR10, R10, VR20, R20 for determining the magnitude of the reference signal to be delivered to the error detector in accordance with the output of the voltage detector to change the reference signal, thereby allowing the inter-characteristic transfer point between the constant current control arc characteristic and the drooping characteristic to be adjustable.
