Hello,

I'm repairing a welder. Its schematic is in the pdf file. For my doubt, I want to know about a gate driver circuit in board C. What kind of driver is this?
(The signal measured between Red(S)-C and White(S)-C is depicted in the image file. Its peak and crest are +21.4 and -21.4 consecutively)

Thank you

 

I would call it it a steering diode array. The positive half cycle goes one way and the negative half cycle goes by a different path.

Could you clarify more about its operation? In a certain mode, which switching devices are on and which are off?

 

According to the schematic and running a test previous, the zeners D13 and D12 and capacitors C2 and C10 had been toasted, so they are desoldered out from the circuit.

Here, I've got signals of Red2(S)-C and White2(S)-C with respect to a MOSFET's source (S). For a scope settings, I checked that my ground levels of both channels were set at Y=0 on displaying screen, and signals are measured in DC coupling mode. The signals swing below 0V.
The yellow trace = Red wire
The blue trace = White wire

What's more, this is a video showing gg and a MOSFET's gate signals respected to a MOSFET's source (S).
The yellow trace=gate
The blue trace = gg

Could you please analyze its operation?

Thank you
