ESP 400C and 600C Plasma Power Sources
6-5
6.3.3 Fault Light Illumination
Problem Possible
Cause Action
Fault light illuminates at the end of
cut but goes off at the start of the
next.
Normal condition caused by
terminating the arc by running the
torch off the work or the arc being
attached to a part that falls away.
Reprogram cutting process to
ensure arc is terminated only by
removing the “Contactor On” signal.
LED 3 – (amber) Bus Ripple
Imbalance of 3-phase input power
Momentary loss of one phase of
input power
Faulty control PCB1
Maintain phase voltage imbalance of
less than 5%.
Restore and maintain input power
within ±10% nominal
Replace PCB1 P/N 38032
LED 4 – (amber) High Bus
One or more phases of input voltage
exceed nominal line voltage by more
than 20%.
Faulty control PCB1
One or more shorted diode rectifiers
(D25-D28) on the “Electrode Plate”
Restore and maintain line voltage
within ±10%
Replace PCB1 P/N 38032
Replace shorted diode rectifiers
LED 5 – (amber) Low Bus
One or more phases of input voltage
are lower than nominal by more than
15%.
Blown F1 and F2 fuses
Over temp Light comes on.
Imbalanced 3-phase input power
Momentary loss of one phase of
input power
Faulty Main Contactor (K1)
FAULTY Control PCB1
Restore and maintain with in ±10%
of nominal
See F1 and F2 in Blown Fuses
Section
See over temp in Fault Light Section
Maintain phase voltage imbalance of
less than 5%
Restore and maintain within ±10% of
nominal
Replace K1
Replace PCB1 P/N 30832
