Abstract

High frequency welding apparatus which includes a transformer and four transistor switches. The switches and the primary winding of the transformer are connected in a self oscillating or free running bridge configuration the operation of which is load dependent. Component damage due to overload conditions is thereby prevented and the voltage rating of the components may be equal to the voltage supplied to the bridge.
