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 Frequency of Cutting from Capacitance and Inductance?
Frequency of Cutting from Capacitance and Inductance calculator uses Frequency of Cutting = 0.03/sqrt(Inductance*Capacitance) to calculate the Frequency of Cutting, The Frequency of cutting from capacitance and inductance formula is defined as the inverse of the sum of charging time and sparking time. Frequency of Cutting is denoted by fcut symbol.
How to calculate Frequency of Cutting from Capacitance and Inductance using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Frequency of Cutting from Capacitance and Inductance, enter Inductance (L) & Capacitance (C) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Frequency of Cutting from Capacitance and Inductance calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.005006 = 0.03/sqrt(5.7*6.3).
