Abstract
In a welding apparatus employing a switching element between a power source and a filler wire, a protection circuit operates to discontinue the function of the switching element when a short-circuit is detected between, for example, the filler wire and a welding electrode, so that the switching element is protected from damage due to an overcurrent.
