Why am I unable to strike an arc with my Clarke MMA Welding System?
If you are unable to strike an arc with your Clarke Welding System, there might be a bad clamp connection. Check the clamp connection. In some cases, the inverter printed circuit board may be defective.
Why is there no output voltage from my Clarke Welding System?
If your Clarke Welding System has no output voltage, it could be due to several reasons. The machine might be overheated (the yellow LED should be on), in which case you should wait for the thermal cutout to reset.
How to fix porosity of welds with Clarke MMA Welding System?
If the welds from your Clarke Welding System are showing porosity, it could be due to several factors: using an acid electrode on steel with high sulphur content, excessive electrode oscillation, workpieces being too far apart, or welding a cold workpiece. Use a basic electrode, move edges to be welded closer together, and move slowly at the beginning.
What causes wrong output current in Clarke Welding System?
If your Clarke Welding System is producing the wrong output current, it may be due to a defective current selector control or a low power supply voltage. Check the mains distribution system.
What causes poor penetration in Clarke MMA Welding System?
Poor penetration with your Clarke Welding System can be caused by low current, a high welding rate, reversed polarity, or an electrode inclined in a position opposite to its movement. Ensure operating variables are correct and improve preparation of work pieces.
Why is the arc unstable in my Clarke MMA Welding System?
An unstable arc in your Clarke Welding System can be caused by insufficient current. Check the condition of the electrode and earth wire connection.
What causes profile defects in Clarke MMA Welding System welds?
Profile defects in your Clarke Welding System welds can occur if the welding parameters are incorrect, the pass rate is incorrect, or the electrode is not inclined constantly while welding. Follow basic and general welding principles.
Why does the electrode melt obliquely in my Clarke MMA Welding System?
If the electrode melts obliquely in your Clarke Welding System, it could be because the electrode core is not centered or due to a magnetic blow phenomenon. Replace the electrode and connect two earth wires to opposite sites of the work piece.
What to do if Clarke MMA Welding System stops working?
If your Clarke Welding System stops working, it might be due to poor ventilation or a high environmental temperature causing the overheating protection to activate. Improve ventilation.
