RECTIFIER FOR A WELDING TRANSFORMER OF A WELDING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SUCH A RECTIFIER

摘要

It is a rectifier (40; 40A, 400) for a welding transformer (30) of a welding device (2; 3) for welding at least one component (5, 6) and a method for producing such a rectifier (40; 40A, 400) provided. The rectifier (40; 40A, 400) comprises a first side part (47), a second side part (48), a middle part (49) which is arranged between the first and second side parts (47, 48), and at least two semiconductor modules ( 401), which are connected between a welding tool (10) of the welding device (2; 3) and an output of the welding transformer (30), the first side part (47) and the second side part (48) being configured asymmetrically so that an exchange the arrangement of the side parts (47, 48) relative to the central part (49) changes the number of semiconductor modules (401) which can be clamped between one of the side parts (47, 48) and the central part (49).
