Overloaded Electrode
Overloaded
Electrode If the electrode is overloaded, there is a risk that an oversized cap could form on
the tungsten electrode. An oversized cap has a negative effect on the ignition
properties.
If the electrode is overloaded, the "electrode overloaded" indicator illuminates
on the control panel.
Possible causes of an overloaded electrode:
- Diameter of the tungsten electrode is too small
- Main current I
main
value is set too high
Remedy:
- Use a tungsten electrode with a larger diameter
- Reduce the main current
NOTE!
The "electrode overloaded" indicator is tailored for use with ceriated tungsten
electrodes.
For all other electrodes, the "electrode overloaded" indicator can be used as a
guide.
