A short circuit after switching on the machine likely means there's a short circuit between the electrode holder and earthing clamp. Rectify the short circuit, switch the machine off and on again; if the error keeps recurring, have the machine serviced.
How to fix severe spattering with my Fronius Portable Generator?
Severe spattering can occur due to several reasons. First, check if the electrode polarity is correct by referring to the manufacturer's instructions to reverse it if needed. Another cause might be a poor ground earth connection; make sure to fasten the earthing clamps directly to the workpiece. Lastly, the setup parameters might not be ideal for the selected welding process, so select the best setting in the Setup menu.
What to do if my Fronius Portable Generator has no welding current?
If your Fronius Portable Generator isn't producing welding current, several factors could be at play. The duty cycle might be exceeded, causing the device to overload – in this case, stay within the duty cycle. The thermostatic automatic circuit breaker may have switched off the device; wait for the power source to come back on automatically after the cooling phase. Insufficient cooling air intake can also cause this, so ensure an adequate air supply. A dirty air filter could be the culprit; clean it. As a last resort, there may be a power module error, so turn the device off and on again.
Why does the mains fuse keep tripping on my Fronius Portable Generator?
The mains fuse might be tripping because it's underrated or the circuit breaker is incorrect. Make sure to fuse the mains correctly, referring to the technical data. If the mains fuse trips in an open circuit, contact After-Sales Service.
Why am I having issues with TIG welding on my Fronius Portable Generator?
If you're experiencing problems with TIG welding, it could be due to several factors. The tungsten electrode polarity might be incorrect; connect the TIG welding torch to the negative pole. Another possibility is incorrect or missing shielding gas; use inert shielding gas (argon). Finally, ensure you've selected the correct welding process: TIG welding or TIG pulsed arc welding.
What to do if the arc breaks during welding with my Fronius Portable Generator?
If the arc breaks during welding, it could be because the TIG Comfort Stop parameter value is set too low for the selected TIG welding process; adjust it to a higher value in the Setup menu. It could also be that the electrode (e.g. grooved electrode) voltage is too high; if possible, use an alternative electrode or a power source with more welding power. Finally, ensure that the correct welding process is selected: either "TIG welding" or "TIG pulsed arc welding".
What does 'Primary current' mean on my Fronius Portable Generator?
The message 'Primary current' indicates an internal error. Switch the machine off and on again; if the fault keeps recurring, have the device serviced.
What does 'Current limit' mean on my Fronius Portable Generator?
The 'Current limit' message indicates an internal error. Switch the machine off and on again; if the fault keeps recurring, have the device serviced.
What does ground current mean on my Fronius Portable Generator?
Ground current indicates that current is flowing via the device earth. Check the ground earth connection to the workpiece, switch the machine off and on again; if the error keeps recurring, have the machine serviced.
What does it mean when the status indicators show 'Open circuit' on my Fronius Portable Generator?
The 'Open circuit' status indicates that the output voltage is greater than 110V. Switch the machine off and on again; if the fault keeps recurring, have the device serviced.
