MAINTENANCE
1. Check open circuit voltage.
Should be about 370 VDC. (Dis-
connect HF to avoid damaging
meter.)
NO
2. Check input power.
3. Check MC contactor.
4. Check diodes and SCR's.
5. Check PC board.
1. Check consumables in torch.
2. Check torch connections using
ohmmeter.
3. Check open circuit voltage (325
VDC). (Disconnect HF to avoid
NO
damaging meter.)
4. Check HF at spark gaps. (ISW
switch must be closed when
performing check.) May have to
reset spark gap.
5. Check PAC contactor.
6. Check R20 and R21 resistors.
1. Check work lead connection.
2. Check consumables in torch.
3. Check for proper nozzle and
current. At low currents, the arc
NO
length has to be closer to work.
4. Check all input voltages between
lines.
5. Check open circuit voltage.
6. Check diodes and SCR's.
7. Check PC board.
