Abstract
A system and method for generating a weld are provided. A power circuit in communication with a control circuit generates welding output voltage. A voltage reducing circuit in communication with the power circuit generates a reduced output voltage relative to the welding output voltage if the system determines that the welding process is idle for the predefined period of time. The welding output voltage is restored from the reduced voltage if the welding process is restarted.
