An overview of various types of formers used in pulsed arc welding is given. It is shown that the main research trends in this area
are aimed at improving the energy efficiency of welding converters with a high efficiency. Significant attention is paid to formers
based on artificial long lines operating in a wide range of arc current and voltage. As for the time-frequency parameters of
electrical signals of such formers, all of them can operate in the frequency range from units of hertz to hundreds of megahertz. At
the same time, their energy efficiency does not change significantly. Further development of the ideas of constructing generators
using artificial long lines has led to the creation of inducon-based inductors and quasi-inducons. 8 Ref., 5 Fig.
