Patent ID: 10065261

Abstract:
A welding machine power supply apparatus outputs welding current in accordance with welding conditions set through operation of a display and setting unit (20). When a welding operation is ended while the welding machine power supply apparatus is operating, the welding conditions effective at the time the welding operation is ended are automatically stored in a memory (16). When any ones or more of the welding conditions at the time when the welding operation is resumed by the use of the welding machine power supply apparatus are different from the one or ones which were effective when the welding operation was ended, a load button (70), a rotary encoder (64) and a set button (72) are operated to cause a control unit (14) to read out the welding conditions stored in the memory (16) which were effective when the welding operation was ended, and to set the read-out welding conditions in the welding machine power supply apparatus.
