Why is there no shielding gas in my Fronius TRANS STEEL 3500 C0MPACT Welding System?
- C
  Courtney BernardAug 17, 2025
  If your Fronius Welding System isn't providing shielding gas, start by changing the gas cylinder if it's empty. If the cylinder isn't the issue, then replace the gas pressure regulator if it's faulty. Check the gas hose; fit or replace it if it's damaged or not fitted properly. If the issue persists, the welding torch may be faulty and require replacement. If all else fails, the gas solenoid valve might be faulty, in that case contact After-Sales Service.

  If your Fronius Welding System shows 'No welding current', consider the following: 1. Take the duty cycle into account to avoid overload. 2. Wait for the power source to automatically restart after the cooling phase if the thermostatic safety cut-out has tripped. 3. Ensure adequate cooling air by cleaning the air filter and ensuring accessible cooling air ducts. 4. If the fan is faulty, contact After-Sales Service.

What does PHA | SE mean on my Fronius TRANS STEEL 3500 C0MPACT and how to fix it?
- A
  Alexis RogersAug 28, 2025
  If your Fronius Welding System shows 'PHA | SE', check the mains fuse, lead, and plug for any issues. Also, verify the mains voltage to ensure it's within the correct tolerance range. Ensure the correct wire-feed unit is connected. If problems persist, arrange the hosepack in a straight line, check the inner liner for kinks or dirt, and examine the contact pressure on the 4 roller drive. If the wire-feed unit motor is sticking or defective, check it or contact After-Sales Service.

How to improve poor weld properties in my Fronius TRANS STEEL 3500 C0MPACT?
- K
  Katie RodriguezAug 31, 2025
  If your Fronius Welding System isn't welding properly, check the welding parameter settings and ensure they are correct. Ensure good contact to the workpiece for proper grounding. Inspect the pressure regulator, gas hose, gas solenoid valve, and torch gas connection to ensure there is an adequate protective gas shield. Replace the welding torch if it's leaking. Replace the contact tube if it is wrong or worn out. Check the wire spool to ensure the correct wire alloy and diameter are being used, and check the weldability of the base material. Use the correct protective gas shield for the wire alloy.

Why is the wire feed speed irregular in my Fronius TRANS STEEL 3500 C0MPACT?
- W
  Wanda ColeSep 12, 2025
  If your Fronius Welding System has an irregular wire feed speed, try the following: 1. Loosen the brake if the braking force is set too high. 2. Use a suitable contact tube if the hole in the current contact tube is too narrow. 3. Check the wire feed liner for kinks or dirt. 4. Use suitable feed rollers for the wire electrode being used. 5. Optimize the contact pressure of the feed rollers.
