OUTPUT PROBLEMS
Wire feeds but welding output is
low causing wire to “stub”. Welds
are “cold”. Machine cannot obtain
full rated output of 300 amps at 32
volts.
1. Make sure that the proper wire
and procedures are being used.
2. Check gun and work cable for
loose or faulty connections.
1. Check for loose or faulty con-
nections of the heavy current
carrying leads. See Wiring
Diagram
2. Perform the Current
Transducer Test.
3. Perform Output Waveform
Test.
4. Perform the Output Rectifier
Assembly Tests
5. The Control Board may be faulty.
Replace.
The output voltage and wire feed is
present continuously or pulsing
when gun trigger is NOT activated.
1. Remove the gun. If the problem
is resolved, the gun trigger cir-
cuit is faulty. Repair or replace.
2. If problem persists when gun
assembly is removed from
machine, then the problem is
within the POWER MIG 300.
1. Find J85 on Feed Head Board
and unplug. If the problem still
exist Feed Head Board may be
faulty.
The output voltage is present con-
tinuously when gun trigger is NOT
activated. The wire is not feeding.
1. Find J6 on Control PCB and
