TIG MODE PROBLEMS

Machine output is intermittently lost.

1. Problem may be caused by high

Gas flow and high frequency are

 

frequency interference. Make

also interrupted.

 

sure that the machine is ground-

 

 

ed properly according to the

 

 

installation instructions. If there

 

 

are other high frequency

 

 

sources in the area, make cer-

 

 

tain that they are grounded

 

 

properly.

 

2.

Check Amptrol for proper opera-

 

 

tion and loose connections.

 

3.

Check for proper input voltage

 

 

and proper voltage reconnec-

 

 

tion.

 

 

 

Arc “Flutters” when TIG welding.

1.

Tungsten electrode may be too

 

 

large in diameter for the current

 

 

setting.

 

2.

Tungsten not “sharp” when

 

 

welding in DC - mode.

 

3.

Gas shielding may be insuffi-

 

 

cient. Increase gas flow; reduce

 

 

tungsten stickout beyond gas

 

 

cup.

 

4.

Check for contaminated gas or

 

 

leaks in the gas line, torch, or

 

 

connections

 

5.

If a helium blend is used as a

 

 

shielding gas, then reduce the

 

 

percentage of helium.
