Fault

Resolution

Power indicator lit

Fan not running and no 

Welding input

A. Ensure power is turned off.

B. Ensure power is connected properly.

C. Heat sensor resistance incorrect or faulty. (24V relay has a fault)

D. Power source board (Board has problem, no DC537V output voltage.)

i. Silicon bridge circuit faulty or cable is loose.

ii. Part of the circuit board burnt.

iii. Check cable between switch and power source board. Power board between 

MOS board.

iv. Sub power source on control board faulty. Contact distributor or 

manufacturer.

Fan running and Fault 

indicator lit.

No output power.

A. Check all components are correctly connected.

B. Check if the output terminal has a broken circuit and poor connection.

C. Inverter circuit faulty;

1.  If Fault indicator lit: MOS board faulty, check and replace.

2. If Fault indicator not lit: 

i. Transformer on Middle Board faulty, measure primary inductance volume 

and Q volume of main transformer by inductance bridge.

Primary volume of parallel circuit, L=1.2-2.0MH, Q>40 if inductance volume 

and Q volume is low, replace it.

ii. Check the secondary rectifier tube on the transformer. If faulty replace.

iii. Feedback circuit in fault.

Power indicator not lit, 

fan not running and no 

welding output.

A.) Make sure the power switch is turned off.

B.) Make sure power supply and all cables are securely connected and power 

supply is working.

Power indicator lit, fan 

not running and no weld-

ing output.

A. Connected to incorrect power source has enabled machine protection circuit, 

connect to correct power supply and check machine for operation.

B. Input power not stable (input cable too small) or input cable incorrectly 

connected to power supply has caused protective circuit to be enabled. Check 

connections and turn off the machine for 5-10minutes. Turn the machine on and 

check for operation.

C. Turning the machine power switch ON and OFF too quickly has enabled the 

protection circuit. Turn the machine off for 5-10 minutes. Turn on and check for 

operation.

D. Power supply cables/plugs are loose. Turn Machine off and Check for proper 

connection of all power supply cables/plugs and check for operation.
