Why is there no kV in my Ransburg Paint Sprayer?
- D
  Dennis SimmonsAug 3, 2025
  Several factors can cause a lack of kV in your Ransburg Paint Sprayer. It could be due to: * The On/Off lever being in the wrong position: Ensure it's in the On position. * Low pressure: Make sure there's 2.8 bar (40 psig) at the applicator handle when triggered. * No ground connection: Verify the air hose is properly grounded. * Cascade malfunction: Confirm the cascade is functioning correctly, swapping parts if needed. * Motor failure: Ensure the motor is working properly. * Paint conductivity: Confirm the paint resistance is greater than 0.1 Meg Ohm.
