The invention provides a compact and economical welding control system having an integrated power section. To this end, a switching module is provided for the power section of a welding control system. The switching module has a switching device, at least one cooling body, a current supply and an insulating element which provides a potential-free coolant arrangement. The invention is advantageous in that the potential-free coolant arrangement allows the coolant bodies to be shortened so that less space is required inside the control system and the control system can therefore have a more compact structure. The invention enables even the requirements in terms of the coolant bodies to be reduced, allowing the use of cost-effective cooling tubes or even cooling pipes that are directly connected to the cooling body.
A switching module for the power section of a welding control system, having switching means, cooling means of electrically conductive material, and current supply means, in which the current supply means contacts the switching means, and the cooling means for cooling the switching means contacts the current supply means, wherein between the cooling means and the current supply means, an insulation means is disposed in such a manner that the cooling means is electrically insulated from the current supply means.
A method for producing a switching module for the power section of a welding control system, having switching means, cooling means of electrically conductive material, and current supply means, the method comprising the steps of:
