A welding power supply is a device that provides an electric current to perform welding. Welding usually requires high current (over 80 amperes) and may need over 12,000 amperes in spot welding. Low current can also be used; welding two razor blades together with gas tungsten arc welding at 5 amps is a good example. A welding power supply can be as simple as a car battery and as sophisticated as a high-frequency inverter using IGBT technology, with computer control to assist in the welding process.
