Abstract

Disclosed is an engine-driven welding generator using a plurality of neodymium-iron-boron based rare earth magnets and provided with countermeasures for suppressing a rise in temperature of the magnets. The engine-driven welding generator driven by an engine (200) to generate both a dc welding power output and an auxiliary ac power output comprises: a stator (110) including a laminated-structure armature core (111) and an armature winding (112) wound around the armature core (111); a rotor (120) supported by the engine in cantilever fashion and including a laminated-structure field core (121), a plurality of magnet plates (122) containing neodymium-iron-boron based rare earth as the major component and arranged on an outer circumferential surface of the laminated-structure field core with a smallest possible gap between the two adjacent magnet plates, a plurality of centrifugal fan blades (123) arranged in the vicinity of the outer circumference of and on both side surfaces of the field core, and a plurality of axial air passages (121a) formed on an inner side of the field core; and an enclosure including a housing (101) fixed to the engine for supporting the stator, and a top cove…
