Abstract
Power electronics, including welding-type power supplies may have a switched mode power supply configurable in two or more topologies. Detection circuitry of the power electronics may determine the configured topology of the switched mode power supply and the input voltage supplied to the power electronics. The detection circuitry and/or control circuitry of the power electronics may verify that the configured topology of the switched mode power supply corresponds to the supplied input voltage, and may indicate an error if the configured topology does not correspond to the supplied input voltage.
