What causes excess temperature in THERMACUT EX-TRAFIRE 105HD and how to fix it?
- N
  Nathan MontgomerySep 4, 2025
  Excess temperature in your THERMACUT Welding System can be caused by several factors. Ensure the fan is running freely, and if not, consider replacing the fan or fan motor. Allow the power supply to cool down if the duty cycle has been exceeded, and avoid exceeding it in the future. Verify sufficient space around the power supply for ventilation. If components are defective, contact service or your retailer.

What to do if gas pressure is low in THERMACUT EX-TRAFIRE 105HD Welding System?
- A
  Angel DavisAug 25, 2025
  If your THERMACUT Welding System shows a gas inlet pressure below 5 bar/72.5 psi leading to insufficient plasma gas flow, check the inlet gas pressure, ensuring it is between 85 – 125 psi. Also, verify the gas pressure and flow, and make sure the gas settings are correct.

Why is there no transfer between pilot arc and workpiece in my THERMACUT EX-TRAFIRE 105HD?
- K
  Kenneth HoodAug 26, 2025
  If there is no transfer between the pilot arc and the workpiece when using your THERMACUT Welding System, it could be due to poor contact between the work lead clamp and the workpiece. Remove any contamination or oxidation from both to ensure maximum electrical conduction. Also, check that the distance between the cutting torch and workpiece isn't too great. Finally, have the work lead checked by a professional, and replace it if necessary.

What causes a THERMACUT Welding System pilot arc to ignite with difficulty and switch off?
- C
  Caroline MontoyaSep 12, 2025
  If the pilot arc on your THERMACUT Welding System ignites with difficulty and then switches off, consider these causes: * Defective consumables: Check the consumables and replace them if necessary. * Faulty gas flow: Check gas flow settings.

What to do if arc does not ignite when torch trigger is pressed or CNC start signal is on in my THERMACUT EX-TRAFIRE 105HD Welding System?
- J
  James WrightAug 31, 2025
  First, ensure the proper cutting torch is connected. Then, check if the consumables are correctly installed; reinstall or replace them if needed. Also, verify that the retaining cap is correctly installed, reinstalling and tightening if necessary. Finally, ensure you're using Thermacut® original consumables.
