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 Input power supply to achieve given MRR?
Input power supply to achieve given MRR calculator uses Voltage of Power Supply = Voltage at any Time t/(1-exp(-(Proportionality Constant of MRR*Voltage at any Time t^2)/(2*Resistance of the Charging Circuit*Metal Removal Rate))) to calculate the Voltage of Power Supply, The Input power supply to achieve given MRR formula is defined as the voltage of the power supply used to charge the relaxation circuit used to provide a spark in unconventional EDM. Voltage of Power Supply is denoted by V0 symbol.
