has cooled
May also be due to a sticking electrode Cut out will automatically reset when welder
has cooled
Broken fan causing overheating Repair or replace cooling fan
Cooling fan not working properly
Starting capacitance disabled Replace capacitior
Difficulty in striking or maintainig an arc
The electrode is damp Heat it up to 60º - 70º before using
Wrong type of electrode Use correct electrode
Bad connection between earth clamp and
workpiece
Grind connection area and reattach clamp
Regulation screw and nut worn out Replace worn out parts
Partial short circuit in transformer windings Return to Sealey dealer for assessment/
repair
Noise from within case when welding Uneven gap between the moving iron core
and static iron core
Return to Sealey Dealer to have cores
adjusted

8.9. Earthing of the workpiece. It is important that the workpiece is separately bonded to earth in addition to the welder/cutter return
cable. Where the workpiece is not bonded to earth for electrical safety reasons or because of its size and position, e.g. ship’s hull or
building steelwork, a connection bonding the workpiece to earth may reduce emissions in some, but not all instances. Care should be
taken to prevent the earthing of the workpiece increasing the risk of injury to others or damage to other electrical equipment.
Where necessary, the connection of the workpiece to earth should be made by a direct connection to the workpiece, but in some
countries where direct connection is not permitted, the bonding should be achieved by a suitable capacitance, selected according to
national regulations.
8.10. Screening and shielding. Selective screening and shielding of other cables and equipment in the surrounding area may alleviate
problems of interference. Screening of the entire welding/cutting installation may be considered for special applications.
