Abstract

PURPOSE:To minimize breakage of a plurality of switching elements interconnected in parallel for switching a DC power supply by providing quick action fuses in series to the respective switching elements to shut off the power supply by fusing of the fuse. CONSTITUTION:Voltage of a DC power supply 1 is switched by a plurality of switching elements TRl-TRn interconnected in parallel to be applied to an electric discharge machining gap 4. Quick action fuses Fl-Fn are connected in series to the respective switching elements. When the switching element has some failures and excessive current flows, the corresponding quick action fuse is fused. Which fuse is fused is indicated by an indicator 8, while the power supply is shut off by a breaker 9 to minimize the effect of the failure and facilitate repair.

Next, the operation will be explained. A DC voltage E from a DC constant voltage power source (1) is applied to the electrical discharge machining gap (4) through a fast acting fuse (2) and a plurality of semiconductor switching elements (3) connected in parallel. A switching circuit formed by a DC constant voltage power supply (1), a fast acting fuse (2), and a semiconductor switching element (3) has no current limiting resistor, and only the stray inductance L (5) of the line exists. The semiconductor switching element (3) is repeatedly turned on and off at high speed by a control circuit (6), and the on time width τp and the off time width τr are controlled. Therefore, during electrical discharge machining! 1
In (4), when the insulation is broken and a discharge current begins to flow, the discharge current becomes constant. Therefore, it becomes a current pulse with a constant peak current value determined by the DC voltage E and the line inductance LK.The maximum on time and the blowing current of the fast acting fuse are also set in consideration of the maximum rated current of each switching transistor. If an excessive current pulse flows for some reason, the interlocking fuse first blows out and shuts off the switching circuit at high speed, thereby minimizing damage to the semiconductor switching element.
