Input Power<br />

Common household power is single phase 120 volts,<br />

alternating current (120VAC) at 60 hertz frequency. Most<br />

households also contain single phase 220 VAC for heavy duty<br />

appliances (clothes dryers and furnaces).<br />

Heavy industry also has single phase 120 and 220 VAC for<br />

running lights and low-power appliances. However, most<br />

heavy industrial equipment operates from 3-phase power at<br />

voltages ranging from 220 to 480 VAC.<br />

A <strong>weld</strong>ing power source must convert high voltage/low current<br />

input power to low voltage/high amperage <strong>weld</strong>ing current.
