Zhejiang Yaming Electric Co., Ltd., located in Liushi, the Electrical Capital of China, is a professional manufacturer and factory of low-voltage electrical components. With decades of R&D and manufacturing experience, we act as a trusted global supplier for industrial control switches and welding machine electrical accessories.
Our KDHC 40A Welding Machine Changeover Switch is specially built for welding equipment. The whole series comes with multiple model options: KDHC-20, KDHC-32, KDHC-40 and KDHC-63. Available conventional thermal current from 20A up to 63A. The KDHC Series Welding Machine Switch uses high-quality silver contacts, which greatly reduce arc burning and extend service life. Operators can easily adjust welding current and voltage by rotating the handle to satisfy different welding process needs. As a reliable manufacturer in China, our factory supports OEM & ODM customization for the KDHC Series Welding Machine Switch. We can adjust gear positions, structures and specifications to match various types of welders for our worldwide customers.
KDHC 40A Welding Machine Changeover Switch are applicable in electrical circuits with AC 50Hz, rated operating voltage up to 440V and DC voltage up to 240V, with a conventional thermal current up to40A. They are used for manual, infrequent circuit make-and-break for control and circuit conversion. They are mainly installed on NBC-200, 250, 315, 400, 500, 630 and other CO₂ gas shielded welders, inverter arc welders and air plasma cutting machines to adjust current or voltage. They can also be used for circuit switching of electrical equipment.

Working Principle
The KDHC Series Welding Machine Switch features a rotary cam mechanism. Rotating the operating handle drives the internal cam assembly, which toggles each set of contacts on and off. By selecting different contact combinations, the circuit connects to various resistance taps, enabling adjustable welding current and output voltage.
Designed for infrequent manual circuit switching, this cam-style setup modifies circuit parameters steadily and does not rely on complicated electronic parts. Its premium silver contacts deliver consistent electrical connectivity once the cam locks into position, preventing bad contact and arc damage while welding equipment is running.
Design Advantages
1. Silver Alloy Contacts: Excellent electrical conductivity and powerful arc quenching performance. The contacts resist oxidation and wear, effectively extending the service life of the KDHC Series Welding Machine Switch.
2. One-Piece Cam Mechanism: Precision-manufactured cam core delivers distinct gear locking. The handle rotates smoothly without skipping when adjusting welding parameters.
3. High-Insulation Casing: Constructed from robust insulating material. With a rated insulation voltage of 690V, it operates safely and stably at the rated working voltage of 380V.
4. Wide Range of Current Ratings: Available models KDHC-20, KDHC-32, KDHC-40 and KDHC-63, compatible with CO₂ welders of various power levels.
5. Customizable Design: Our local factory in China offers OEM services. We can customize gear counts, terminal arrangements and product markings to fit unique welder requirements.
6. Space-Saving Compact Build: Optimized internal layout enables simple installation within the confined cabinet space of welding machines.
Performance Test
Every KDHC Series Welding Machine Switch goes through rigorous quality checks prior to shipment from our factory in China. These critical inspections are performed unit by unit to ensure dependable performance when fitted to welding machinery:
· Wiring Inspection We verify that all wiring terminals and internal cabling match the original design requirements. Each terminal’s circuit mapping is validated to eliminate potential miswiring hazards, ensuring secure and stable connections once installed in CO₂ welders and plasma cutters.
· Gear Position Accuracy Test We check the precision of every gear position. By turning the operating handle, we confirm each gear engages and locks accurately.
· Contact Operation Smoothness Test We evaluate how the silver alloy contacts open and close. Repeated cam rotation testing confirms contacts make firm connection and separate cleanly. The handle turns freely without sticking, binding or delay. This minimizes risks of poor contact, arcing and overheating during extended welding work.
Any switch failing any inspection point is discarded. Only fully qualified units are packaged and delivered to our international customers.
Application Solutions
· Inverter Arc Welding Machine Solution This switch is installed on inverter arc welders to manually adjust current and voltage. Its reliable cam mechanism lowers disruption to the inverter circuit and creates more consistent weld beads.
· Air Plasma Cutting Machine Solution It acts as a circuit changeover element within air plasma cutters.
· Circuit Switching for General Electrical Equipment Beyond welding systems, the KDHC Series Welding Machine Switch can be fitted to other electrical apparatus for manual, non-frequent circuit switching and control tasks.
FAQ
1. Will the switch lose gear accuracy after prolonged use? No. Every KDHC Series Welding Machine Switch passes rigorous gear precision inspection before delivery. Each gear locks securely with precise positioning, free from shifting or skipping. Every setting delivers consistent welding parameters.
2. Does the handle turn smoothly when contacts open and close? Each unit is tested thoroughly for contact operation. Contacts make solid contact and separate cleanly. The handle rotates freely without sticking or lagging, preventing arcing and overheating faults during welding.
3. Can you provide OEM customization for KDHC Series Welding Machine Switch? Yes. As a trusted Chinese manufacturer and factory, we offer complete OEM and ODM services. Custom options include modified gear positions, adjusted terminal structures, logo marking and custom specifications to suit various welder brands.
