METHODS AND APPARATUS TO DETERMINE ENERGY INPUT TO WELDING PROCESSES INVOLVING MULTIPLE ENERGY SOURCES

Abstract:

An example welding-type system, includes: a processor; and memory comprising machine readable instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: collect a plurality of average instantaneous power measurements from a plurality of welding-type power sources associated with a single welding-type process; and determine a total power input to the welding-type process by summing the average instantaneous power measurements for each of the welding-type power sources.
