(IGBT WELDER) looking at this transistors, can it work like this, and the output current

It could easily be a driver fault; if the drive voltage is not high enough, the power transistors will only partly turn on and dissipate far too much power..

how do I read the driver voltage?

You need an oscilloscope & connect capacitors with similar values to the power device gate-source ratings in place of them, plus isolating the main rectifier so there is no high voltage supply on the power transistor terminals.

I don't have an oscilloscope, but take a look at this

OK, good test but not a good result...

Are the drive transformer windings all OK?
And can you compare the components in the two gate circuits against each other to see if any resistors are open circuit, or the diode faulty.

With a single transformer I do not see how it can have drive to one side and not the other, unless something has failed in that area.
 
Yes, before I tampered with the resistors and exchange some, one was reading 8.v and the other 14.v,
is the 15v ok for the driver output?
 
The gate voltage should be a string of pulses, not a fixed DC voltage. As such, the only reliable way to see what is there is with a scope.

Your voltmeter will give an approximation of the average pulse amplitude.
 
 
I think is ok, transformer input 25vac , output 20:20 vac
Yes I have compared it, the resistors are not reading correctly

yes, the voltage does not stable ,
what's the normal voltage to feed to the gate , even if I don't have a scope to the frequency ?

The controller will vary the duty cycle of the pulses to control the output of the welder. The average voltage will be the peak voltage * the duty cycle.
From the datasheet for the FGH50T65UPD, the maximum voltage is 20 volts (the peak voltage of the pulse). Anything higher than that can kill the part.
