The test adapter is used in conjunction with a voltage measuring device to test welding machines according to the standard EN 60974-4: 2007.
According to this, the peak values of the open circuit voltage must not exceed the limit values for all possible settings.
The peak rectifier of the SECULOAD-N uses the 1N4007 rectifier diode recommended by the standard. This diode is a mains rectifier diode and, due to its principle, only suitable for voltage sources with a low clock frequency in the range of the mains frequency or for voltage sources with a conventional transformer.
However, there are welding machines on the market that use clocked voltage sources with significantly higher clock frequencies. These can generate switching pulses with high voltages, which the SECULOAD-N's peak value rectifier does not capture in full.
The voltage output by the SECULOAD-N can be significantly below the peak values in the output voltage of the welding machine. This must be observed when evaluating the measurement results!
