MISADJUSTMENT(S)

RECOMMENDED
COURSE OF ACTION

WELDING PROBLEMS

Poor arc characteristics.

1. Check the three-phase input

line voltage at the machine.
The input voltage must match
the rating plate and reconnect
panel.

2. Check the welding cables for

loose or faulty connections.

3. Make sure the proper welding

procedures are being used.
(Wire feed speed, arc voltage
and wire size)

4. Make sure the positive welding

cable is connected to the cor-
rect positive output terminal.
(Low or High inductance)

1. The capacitor bank may be

faulty. Check or Replace.

WARNING: The liquid elec-
trolyte in these capacitors is
toxic. Avoid contact with any
portion of your body.

2. Perform the

Firing Board Test.

3. Perform the

SCR Bridge Test.

4. Perform the

Main Transformer

Test.

The control board may be
faulty. See the

Control Board

LED Chart.

Check the reactor for “shorts”

or “opens”.

Poor arc striking with semiauto-
matic or automatic wire feeders.

1. Make sure the proper welding

procedures are being used.
(Wire feed speed, arc voltage
and wire size)

2. Check the welding cables for

loose or faulty connections.

1. The capacitor discharge resistor

may be faulty. Check. See

Wiring Diagram.

2. Perform the

Firing Board Test.

3. Perform the

SCR Bridge Test.

The control board may be
faulty. See the

Control Board

LED Chart.

CAUTION

If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the test/repairs safely, con-
tact the Lincoln Electric Service Department for electrical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed. Call
