    What causes excess current in THERMACUT Welding System?
    • A
      Anne FritzSep 9, 2025
      If there is excess current, specifically inverter overcurrent, have the output diodes, main transformer, and IGBT on the inverter board checked by an authorized professional.

    What to do if the output current is too low on my THERMACUT Welding System?
    • B
      brendataylorAug 23, 2025
      If the output current on your THERMACUT Welding System is too low and cannot be controlled, check the following: * Ensure that all cable connections are correctly installed. * Remove any contamination or oxidation from the workpiece and the work lead clamp. Attach the work lead clamp to the workpiece to allow maximum electrical conduction. * Decrease the distance between the cutting torch and the workpiece. * Verify the correct input voltage according to the identification plate and inspect/replace consumables if needed.

    Why won't the arc ignite on my THERMACUT Welding System?
    • A
      Andrew AdkinsAug 26, 2025
      If the arc does not ignite when the torch trigger is pressed or the CNC start signal is on, verify the proper cutting torch is connected. Also, ensure that consumables are installed correctly, and if necessary, reinstall or replace them. Make sure you are using Thermacut® original consumables. Check that the retaining cap is correctly installed, reinstall correctly and tighten, if needed.

    Why is there no transfer between pilot arc and workpiece on my THERMACUT Welding System?
    • R
      Rodney LeeAug 27, 2025
      If there's no transfer between the pilot arc and the workpiece, it may be due to: * Poor contact between the work lead clamp and the workpiece. Remove any contamination and/or oxidation from both, and ensure the clamp is attached for maximum electrical conduction. * Excessive distance between the cutting torch and the workpiece. Decrease this distance. * A defective work lead. Have it checked and replaced by an authorized professional if necessary.

    What to do if the LCD doesn't illuminate on my THERMACUT EX-TRAFIRE 125HD Welding System?
    • P
      Paula WallsAug 28, 2025
      If the LCD does not illuminate when the switch is set to ON, check the following: * Ensure there is adequate input power voltage. * Verify the power cable is securely connected to the socket. * If the above steps do not resolve the issue, the switch may be defective and needs replacement by an authorized professional.

    Why is my THERMACUT EX-TRAFIRE 125HD overheating?
    • W
      wilsonryanAug 29, 2025
      If your THERMACUT Welding System is experiencing excess temperature, the following could be the cause: * A defective fan. Make sure the fan is running freely and replace the fan or fan motor if needed. * Exceeding the duty cycle. Switch off the EX-TRAFIRE®125HD and allow it to cool down, and avoid exceeding the duty cycle in the future. * Defective components. Contact service or your retailer for assistance.

      Have the issue checked by Thermacut® or a qualified electrician.
  • J
    John CoxSep 7, 2025
    What happens if I press the torch trigger too early on my THERMACUT EX-TRAFIRE 125HD Welding System?
    • M
      Melissa JenkinsSep 7, 2025
      If the torch trigger is pressed before starting or during initialization, verify that the trigger is not pressed when the power supply is switched on, and during initialization.

    What to do if gas doesn't flow in my THERMACUT EX-TRAFIRE 125HD?
    • A
      Anthony Griffin Jr.Sep 5, 2025
      If gas does not flow when the torch trigger is pressed or the CNC start signal is switched on, this may be caused by a defective gas valve or missing power supply. In this case, contact your retailer for assistance.
