Why does the arc disappear during cutting with my ESAB PowerCut 700 PT-39?
- C
  Cody RileyAug 15, 2025
  If the arc disappears during cutting with your ESAB Welding System, several factors could be at play. First, worn torch parts may be the culprit, so inspect the torch and replace any worn parts. Overheating can also cause this issue; check if the yellow OVER TEMPERATURE LED is lit and allow the unit to cool down. Insufficient air pressure could be another reason; check the yellow AIR PRESSURE LED and increase pressure if needed. Finally, low voltage on the incoming line might be the cause, so ensure the incoming line is adequate.

  If your ESAB Welding System's thermal switch trips during cutting, it may be due to the power source requiring more power than is available from the incoming line. Try reducing the cutting current using the front panel command or shortening your cutting time. Also, avoid using other appliances on the same line to prevent overloading the circuit.

  If the power source of your ESAB Welding System is on, but the orange FAULT LED remains lit, it indicates that the power source is not enabled. This can happen if a safety switch or cover has been activated. Ensure that the consumables are correctly placed and tightened, and verify that the side panel (torch connector inspection side) is properly closed.

Why is the yellow OVER TEMPERATURE LED on my ESAB Welding System still lit?

  Dustin MillsAug 31, 2025
  If the power source of your ESAB Welding System is on, but the yellow OVER TEMPERATURE LED remains lit, it means the power source is still overheated. Allow it to cool down, which will happen faster if the fan is on. Switch on the power source and wait a few minutes before resuming work. If the issue persists, the thermal switch may be faulty, and you should contact authorized service technicians.

How to troubleshoot power LED not lighting on ESAB PowerCut 700 PT-39 Welding System?
- A
  alexjohnsonSep 12, 2025
  If the green LED (power) does not light up when the ON/OFF switch of your ESAB Welding System is in position 1, it indicates that there is no power present or the circuit breaker has tripped. Check the power supply and the breaker.
