Chopper 2
overcurrent
(HPR260
power
supplies)
Chopper 2 current
feedback has exceeded
160 amps.
1. Verify that the wiring between CS2 and PCB3 is correct
and not damaged.
2. Measure voltage across current sensor.
a) Red to black = +15 VDC, Green to black = -15 VDC,
white to black = 0 VDC at idle and varies with current
output (4 VDC = 100 amps).
b) If possible, take a voltage reading on current sensor
while trying to cut. Ratio is 4 VDC = 100 amps.
c) If the current sensor voltage is approximately 6.4 VDC or
greater at idle, replace the current sensor.
3. Remove connector J9.1 from the chopper and verify that
LED1 is extinguished.
a) If LED1 is extinguished with the connector removed,
then reconnect J9.1 and try to fire the torch. If the
chopper still goes into overcurrent, replace the chopper.
b) If the chopper does not go into overcurrent, replace
PCB3.
