How the spark is produced in Electric Discharge Machining?
A typical circuit used for supplying the power to an EDM machine is named as the relaxation circuit. The circuit consists of a DC power source, which charges the capacitor ‘C’ across a resistance ‘Rc’. Initially when the capacitor is in the uncharged condition, when the power supply is on with a voltage of Vo, a heavy current, ic, will flow in the circuit as shown to charge the capacitor. The relaxation circuit as explained above was used in the early EDM machines. They are limited to the low material removal rates for fine finish, which limits its application. This can be explained from the fact that the time spent on charging the capacitor is quite large during which time, no machining can actually take place. Thus the material removal rates are low.
How to Calculate Capacitance of Circuit from Frequency Discharge?
Capacitance of Circuit from Frequency Discharge calculator uses Capacitance of Discharge Frequency = 1/(Inductance of Discharge Frequency*(2*pi*Frequency of Discharge)^2) to calculate the Capacitance of Discharge Frequency, Capacitance of circuit from frequency discharge is defined as the equivalent capacitance of all the capacitors connected in the relaxation circuit of EDM to produce spark. Capacitance of Discharge Frequency is denoted by Cdf symbol.
