TROUBLESHOOTING & REPAIR

 

ABNORMAL OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGE - AC STICK MODE

ONE OUTPUT SCR NOT FUNCTIONING

CAUTION

HIGH VOLTAGE / HIGH FREQUENCY can damage test equipment.

Perform all voltage and waveform checks with high frequency circuit OFF.

This is NOT the typical AC output voltage waveform. One output SCR is not function- ing. Note the “gap” in the waveform. One SCR gate was disconnected to simulate an open or non-functioning output SCR. Each vertical division represents 50 volts and each horizontal division represents 2 mil- liseconds in time.

Note: Scope probes connected at machine

output studs: (+) probe to electrode, (–) probe to work.
