5. Measure the voltage of the inverter IGBT . For the correct voltages for your system, refer to
Figure 12 on page 85 and Figure 13 on page 86.
All values are ±15%.
6. Measure the voltage between the bulk capacitors before you fire the torch.
7. Measure the voltage between the bulk capacitors while you fire the torch.
8. The voltage between the bulk capacitors must be approximately the same before and during
torch operation. The voltage must also be approximately half of the bus voltage, as shown in
Table 6.
Table 6
9. If the voltage measurements are out of range, replace the power PCB.
