ABSTRACT The invention relates to an electronic welding current generator for impulse arc welding and to a method of controlling the arc length during impulse arc welding using such an apparatus. The welding current generator has a power component that is controllable by electric lead parameters which are preselected by way of electronic circuits, whereby during pulsed operation (T) a higher generator pulse current (Ip) or a higher generator pulse voltage (Up) is produced during the pulse phases (tp) and a lower generator base current (IG) or generator base voltage (UG) is produced during the base phases (tG). On the basis of the Up-IG modulation, the pulse voltage (Up) is controlled during the pulse phases (tp) and the base current IG is controlled during the base phases tG. During the base phases tG, the base voltage is measured at selected times and the measured value (E) is stored and updated after each pulse period (T). The updated measured value (E) of the base voltage (UG) obtained, is directly proportional to the real, active length (LL) of the arc. This updated measured value (E) is used for the overriding control of the welding process in that the measured value (E), which represents the length (LL) of the arc, is compared with a selectively adjustable nominal value (SWLL) for the length of the arc and is amplified by a series PI-controller with the goal of achieving the mentioned superior lead control. The arc length is maintained at a desired length and the warming of the welding cables and the wear of the contact nozzle no longer affects the arc length. The operating life of the contact nozzle is increased.
