title = "Analysis of non-limiting current resistance and isopulse power supply for WEDM",
abstract = "Wire electrical discharge machine (WEDM) is one of the effective and important methods for machining complex parts and hard cutting materials. The power supply plays an important role in WEDM, which influences the machining precision and cutting speed. The energy efficiency of traditional pulse power for WEDM is less than 25%, because of the use of current-limiting resistance. In the paper, a novel Pulsed width modulated (PWM) half bridge power supply has been developed, eliminating the current-limiting resistance, so the energy efficiency is increased and the energy saving effect is remarkable. Nevertheless, this power supply has adopted a discharge control strategy of breakdown waiting, making the single discharge energy being equal and improving the cutting speed.",
