Claims

1. A welding system comprising:

a baseplate; and

a plurality of welding components which are arranged on the baseplate.

2. The welding system according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of welding components comprises at least one of a converter, a network connection, a mains connection, an operator control module, a cooler, a welding controller, and a main switch.

3. The welding system according to claim 1, wherein the baseplate is one of a cast baseplate and an extruded profile.

4. The welding system according to claim 1, further comprising:

a housing configured to hold the plurality of welding components.

5. The welding system according to claim 4, wherein the baseplate is part of the housing.

6. The welding system according to claim 4, wherein:

the housing has a cover including a base, a circumferential wall, and a lid; and

the housing is configured to be impermeable to spray from all sides.

7. The welding system according to claim 6, wherein the lid is made of plastic.

8. The welding system according to claim 6, wherein the cover has at least one of a cutout for a user interface of an operator control module and a cutout for a main switch.

9. The welding system according to claim 6, further comprising:
