    What to do if the abnormal pilot light is on in my Richmond CT312D?

      The abnormal pilot light might be on due to over-current or over-voltage protection being triggered. If it's due to over-current, turn off the power and wait until the light goes off. If it’s due to over-voltage, simply wait for 2 to 3 minutes. If the light remains on, turn off the machine, unplug the HF arc-striking power plug, and then restart the machine.

    Why Richmond CT312D Welding System has arc-striking sound but no welding output?
    • M
      Mr. Henry BennettAug 10, 2025
      If your Richmond Welding System has the sound of arc-striking, but there is no welding and cutting output, the welding cable or earth ground cable might be damaged. It is also possible that there is a loose connection to the “+” output terminal.

    Why Richmond Welding System fan not running and no welding output?
    • A
      Autumn TaylorAug 20, 2025
      If the power switch is on, but the fan doesn't run and there's no welding output from your Richmond Welding System, the voltage of the power supply may be too high or too low, triggering over-voltage or low-voltage protection. Other potential causes include a broken frequency transformer, a loose wire from the switch to the bottom board, or a damaged relay on the bottom board.
