What to do if my ESAB ES 300i has no arc?
If your ESAB Welding System isn't producing an arc, verify that the display is on to confirm the power source is active. Also, ensure the setting panel displays correct values and the electrical power supply switch is turned on. Check that the mains, welding, and return cables are correctly connected and inspect the electrical power supply fuses.
How to troubleshoot stick (SMAW) welding problems with my ESAB ES 300i Welding System?
To troubleshoot stick welding issues with your ESAB Welding System, first check that the welding and return cables are correctly connected to the power source. Ensure the return clamp has proper contact with the workpiece. Verify you're using the correct electrodes and polarity, referring to the electrode packaging for polarity details. Confirm the correct current value is set and adjust Arc Force and Hot start settings.
Why am I experiencing TIG (GTAW) welding problems with my ESAB ES 300i Welding System?
If you're having TIG welding problems with your ESAB Welding System, start by checking that the welding and return cables are correctly connected to the power source. Ensure the return clamp has proper contact with the workpiece and that the TIG torch lead is connected to the negative welding terminal. Make sure the correct shielding gas, gas flow, welding current, filler rod placement, electrode diameter and welding mode on power source is used. Also, ensure the gas valve on the TIG torch is open.
What to do if thermal protection trips frequently on my ESAB ES 300i?
If the thermal protection on your ESAB Welding System trips frequently, ensure that you have not exceeded the recommended duty cycle for the weld current. Also, check that the air inlets or outlets are not clogged. Clean the inside of the machine using routine maintenance methods.
