Abstract
A power supply system for consumable electrode arc welding alternately switches between the reverse polarity and the straight polarity. The formation of an arc is detected. A polarity change control signal is generated when the arc duration reaches a predetermined time or when the quantity of charge reaches a predetermined value. The predetermined value of the welding current or voltage is reduced either immediately before or after the change in polarity.
