|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| Machine won’t produce full output. | 1. | Input voltage may be too low, |
|
|
| ||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| limiting output capability of the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| power source. Make certain that |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| the input voltage is proper, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| according to the Rating Plate |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| located on the rear of the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| machine. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. | Input may be “single phased”. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Make certain the input voltage is |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| proper on all three Input lines. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. | Secondary current or voltage not |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
| values displayed on the Power |

| General degradation of the weld |
|
| 1.Check for feeding problems, bad |

| cabling, etc. |
|
|
| |
|
|

| 3. | The power source may require |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| calibration. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. | Check the actual current dis- |

|
|
|
| played on the Power Feed 10 |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
| vs. actual current measured via |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
| external meter. |

|
|
|
| 6. | Check the actual WFS displayed |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| on the Power Feed 10 vs. actual |
|
|
|
|
