Abstract: Methods and apparatus to determine heat input to a weld are disclosed. An example welding-type power supply includes a power converter to convert input power to output welding-type power, and a controller configured to: during a welding-type operation, calculate average instantaneous power values of the welding-type operation for discrete, non-overlapping time periods by multiplying voltage measurements and corresponding current measurements; identify an end of the welding-type operation; determine a duration of the welding-type operation; calculate a total average instantaneous power of the welding-type operation based on the average instantaneous power values for the time periods and the duration of the welding-type operation; and determine whether an acceptable range of the welding-type operation is exceeded based on the total average instantaneous power and the duration of the welding-type operation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for inductance compensation in a welding-type system include a reel configured to wind a welding-type cable to reduce a first portion of the welding-type cable extending from the reel, and to unwind to increase the first portion of the welding-type cable extending from the reel, wherein a second portion of the welding-type cable is at least partially wound around the reel when stored. A controller determines a first length of the first portion of the welding-type cable, calculates a first inductance of the first portion of welding-type cable extending from the reel based on the first length, determines a second length of the second portion of the welding-type cable, calculates a second inductance of the second portion of welding-type cable wound around the reel based on the second length, and calculates a cable inductance of the welding-type cable based on the first inductance and the second inductance.
