    What to do if the ESAB Welding System displays 'Inverter 3A Output Current High'?
    • N
      Nathan JonesSep 7, 2025
      If the ESAB Welding System displays 'Inverter 3A Output Current High', it indicates that the plasma work current is high during cutting and attributed to Inverter Module 3 Section A output being high. If the problem persists, replace Inverter Module 3.

    What to do if the ESAB Welding System shows 'Plasma Disabled'?
    • S
      Sandra BowenAug 25, 2025
      If the ESAB Welding System indicates 'Plasma Disabled', check if 'Plasma Enable Off' is activated or disabled via external software (CNC). Also, verify that the CCM TB1-1&2 jumper is present and that the 40-circuit ribbon cable from the Relay PCB to the CCM is connected and not defective.

    What causes ESAB 100i Welding System to show 'Pilot Ignition Failure'?
    • S
      sandra45Aug 26, 2025
      If you're experiencing 'Pilot Ignition Failure' with your ESAB Welding System, it could be due to worn torch consumable parts. Ensure the correct process is selected, or manual settings, including the current control setting, match the consumables. Also, check for high plasma pressure, a defective arc starter, a defective Pilot PCB, or a defective Inverter section 1A. Verify that the ribbon cables are correctly connected on INV1 sections 1A and 1B.

    What to do if the ESAB Welding System displays 'BIAS VAC Invalid'?
    • M
      Mary MarshallSep 16, 2025
      If the ESAB Welding System displays 'BIAS VAC Invalid', it could be due to an invalid AC voltage selection, a damaged or loose connection at J61 of the System Bias Supply, or a defective System Bias PCB. Check these components and connections.

    What to do if the ESAB 100i displays 'Inverter 3B Incompatible Revision'?
    • T
      Tammie JohnstonSep 12, 2025
      If the ESAB Welding System displays 'Inverter 3B Incompatible Revision', it could indicate an unsupported inverter revision. Check the ribbon cable from CCM J36 to Inverter Module 3 Section B for damage. It's also possible that the CCM code version is incompatible with the inverter revision or model.

    What to do if the ESAB Welding System displays 'Inverter 2A Output Current Low'?
    • J
      jcaldwellSep 2, 2025
      If the ESAB Welding System displays 'Inverter 2A Output Current Low', it indicates that the plasma work current is low during cutting and attributed to Inverter Module 2 Section A output being low. Check if the inverter output is disconnected or if there is a defective ribbon cable. If the problem persists, replace Inverter Module 2.

    Why is the neon indicator not illuminated during pilot ignition in my ESAB Welding System?
    • R
      Ryan ScottSep 23, 2025
      If the neon indicator is not illuminated on your ESAB Welding System, there could be several reasons: * **No 120V supply:** Check if CB4 on the plasma rear panel has tripped. Look for shorted cables, a defective circuit breaker, or a shorted ignition module input. * **Electronic Ignition module shorted input:** Replace the faulty module. * **Faulty Electronic Ignition module:** If 120 VAC is present but the neon light is not illuminated, the module is likely defective and needs replacement. * **Loose fitting(s):** Ensure all fittings are tightened. * **120V supply issues:** If CB4 hasn't tripped, check if 120V is present. If it is, there may be an open control cable. If not, there's a fault in the plasma power supply.

    What does 'Work Current Too High' mean on ESAB 100i?
    • J
      Jack BrownAug 29, 2025
      If the ESAB Welding System displays 'Work Current Too High', it means the work lead current detected is greater than 16% above the process setting. Possible causes include a defective HCT1 work lead current sensor or Relay PCB, or a defective CCM.
