ADAPTIVE BATTERY POWER CONTROL DURING HYBRID POWERED WELDING

Abstract: a method of operating a hybrid power supply includes supplying to a power source, from a first energy source, power for a welding or a cutting process, selectively supplying to the power source, from a second energy source, supplementary power for the welding or the cutting process, and controlling an amount of the supplementary power that is supplied for the welding or the cutting process based on at least one of (a) a circuit breaker value of a circuit breaker arranged as a safety device in the first energy source (b) a voltage level presented by the first energy source, and (c) an output current setting of the power source.
