What to do if the ESAB Welding System displays 'Inverter 3A Output Current High'?
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 does 'Work Current Too High' mean on ESAB 100i?
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.
What to do if the ESAB 100i Welding System displays 'AC Voltage Low'?
If the ESAB Welding System displays 'AC Voltage Low', it means the System Bias PCB detected that the AC voltage is lower than the power supply's rated voltage. Check for a damaged or disconnected System Bias Supply J61 voltage selection connection, a defective System Bias PCB, or a defective CCM.
What to do if the ESAB 100i Welding System displays 'Inverter 1 Not Found'?
If the ESAB Welding System displays 'Inverter 1 Not Found', remember that Inverter Module 1 Section A is required for piloting. Check the ribbon cable connection from CCM J31 to Inverter Module 1 Section A.
What to do if the ESAB 100i displays 'Inverter 3B Incompatible Revision'?
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 'BIAS VAC Invalid'?
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.
How to fix coolant leaks in my ESAB 100i?
If you're experiencing coolant leaks in your ESAB Welding System: * Check for damaged or punctured coolant lines and replace them. * Ensure the supply and return hoses are not reversed. Match coolant connection colors to the arc starter fitting colors.
What to do if the ESAB 100i displays 'DC Output Low'?
If your ESAB Welding System displays 'DC Output Low', and the voltage is less than 60 VDC, there may be a negative lead short to work or ground. Other potential causes include a defective inverter (output shorted), a disconnected or broken CCM voltage sense (J24) wire, or a defective CCM. Check these components to troubleshoot the issue.
What causes ESAB 100i Welding System to show 'Pilot Ignition Failure'?
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.
