How to Connect a High Voltage Generator to an Old Transformer Welder for TIG

Hello,
I definitely need help.
I have an old "no name" transformer welder.
This welder is a device based on a welding transformer, which is wound with aluminum wire.
A rectifier built on four diodes has been added to the transformer outputs. Throttle missing.
Idle output voltage: 62V.
The manufacturer specifies the maximum welding current parameters at 160A.
There is little truth in this but the electrode 3.2 can somehow be welded there.

I tried to use this as a TIG source by connecting a TIG torch and of course gas (argon).
Several times I was able to initiate the bow correctly and then it was welding even cool (for someone who never had a TIG in hand).
The problem is the arc initiation. After another sticking of the electrode and damage to several electrodes, my enthusiasm subsided a little.
Now I have such a neat plate - a high voltage generator from the Flora Dekatech TIG130 inverter.
Does anyone have a scheme to control such a generator? (I mean the value of the supply voltage and frequency).
I can handle the welding output connection and protections.

I don't know if it will be useful, but I once "tracked down" such a pattern.

Thanks for showing interest.
The scheme is unlikely to be useful. This is a completely different system that increases the welding voltage output.
This is to facilitate arc initiation and improve MMA welding stability.

Scheme or other information about the above ionizer still sought after.

Regards

Years ago, for craftsman welding, such a welder as you described (only trafo with copper windings), we could not make friends with the ionizer quickly and the time was chasing, firing by touching the tungsten electrode to the welded element usually destroyed this electrode, the idea was found simple, on the welded element we put a carbon electrode (some brushes from commutator motors bought from pennies), fired "from it" by moving the arc to the welded element, we had fun for a few years, there was no time for further thinking, because customers were waiting for the goods , and so it remained.

I have heard about this way, but I would like to have "full grazing"
I already have several packages broken, split electrodes ...

I looked at the offers (sale section but no offers) in the AVT store, until recently they had PCBs and a detailed description (it is in one of the AVT monthly magazines from a few years ago) quite a simple conversion (attachment) of the SPB315 welding machine (three-phase, direct current) to TIG, maybe look for how to make an ionizer.

And I propose to buy from them and simply by. constructor guidelines - implement. link

No choke - this is the whole problem with catching the arc and good welding. Without a choke, it makes no sense to add a rectifier. You can forget about welding with EB electrodes. Ionizers, 62V voltage is good, but it is necessary to add a choke.

The author of the topic has a problem when ignition of the arc during TIG welding, he does not report the problem when welding with coated electrodes.

There is no problem with the ignition of MMA welding.

As for purchasing a new ionizer:
I already have one ionizer, so I'd like to use it.
I am looking for information about this ionizer because I have it and not because I need any ionizer.
If I cannot run this ionizer module, I will build one using one of the studies available on the forum.

Maybe someone has a diagram of the Flora TIG 130 or Flora TIG200 device?

As for me, this means problems and not normal welding. Secondly, TIG and MMA welding are not much different, except for the type of electrodes and the ignition of the arc is the same. Without the ionizer, aluminum is not welded. (Do not ignite the arc by rubbing against aluminum) A welding machine with a rectifier without a choke is welded worse than a regular transformer. What is the role of a choke, please read it. For example diagrams.

The generator board went to the drawer. Maybe there will be better times.
