TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR
5. Locate Auxiliary Transformer leads 201 and 202
(32) at the terminal.
6. Apply power and test for 115 VAC between leads
201 to 202 (32).
7. If 115 VAC is not present between leads 201 and
202 (32), test for correct main AC input power to
the Auxiliary Transformer primary windings (H1,
H3, etc.) at the reconnect area. See
If the correct main AC input power to the Auxiliary
Transformer is present, and the secondary voltage
is not correct, the Auxiliary Transformer may be
faulty. Replace.
Note:
Newer codes will have a 5 Amp slow blow fuse
on the reconnect area for the primary connection
to T1 (fuse may be blown).
8. With the input power disconnected check for meg
ohms of resistance to case ground of welder from
H1, H3, Primary leads to case, from 201, 202 (32)
leads to case. If less than 1 meg ohm, replace T1
Transformer.
