What to do if my ESAB ET 180iP Welding System has no arc?
If your ESAB Welding System isn't producing an arc, verify that the electrical power supply switch is turned on and that the display is on, confirming the power source is active. Also, check that the setting panel displays correct values and that the welding and return cables are correctly connected. Finally, inspect the electrical power supply fuses.
Why does my ESAB Welding System thermal protection trip frequently?
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 inside the machine according to routine maintenance.
What to do if I have MMA welding problems with my ESAB ET 180iP Welding System?
If you're experiencing MMA welding problems with your ESAB Welding System, verify that the welding process is set to MMA. Ensure that the welding and return cables are correctly connected to the power source and that the return clamp has good contact with the workpiece. Check that the correct electrodes and polarity are being used, referring to the electrode packaging for polarity. Confirm that the correct welding current is set, and adjust Arc Force and Hot start as needed.
What to do if I have TIG welding problems with my ESAB ET 180iP Welding System?
If you are experiencing TIG welding problems with your ESAB Welding System, ensure the welding process is set for Lift TIG as necessary. Verify that the TIG torch and return cables are correctly connected to the power source, and that the return clamp has good contact with the workpiece. Make sure that the TIG torch lead is connected to the negative welding terminal and that you are using the correct shielding gas, gas flow, welding current, filler rod placement, electrode diameter and welding mode on the power source.
What to do if welding current is interrupted during welding with my ESAB Welding System?
If the welding current is interrupted during welding with your ESAB Welding System, check whether the Over Temperature LED (Thermal Protection) on the setting panel is on. You may also need to troubleshoot for a 'No Arc' fault.
