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 Energy Delivered per Spark from Resistance Charging Circuit?
Energy Delivered per Spark from Resistance Charging Circuit calculator uses Energy Delivered per Spark = (Voltage of Power Supply^2*Time Constant)/Resistance of the Charging Circuit*(1/2-exp(-Time Elapsed/Time Constant)+0.5*exp(-2*Time Elapsed/Time Constant)) to calculate the Energy Delivered per Spark, Energy delivered per spark from resistance charging circuit is the parameter which defines the amount of material removed and the surface finish produced. Energy Delivered per Spark is denoted by P symbol.
