5.0 TYPES OF MALFUNCTIONING/ WELDING FAULTS – CAUSES – REMEDIES
TYPES OF MALFUNCTIONING
WELDING FAULTS
The generator does not weld.
During welding suddenly the outgoing current is
interrupted, the green led is off and the yellow led
goes on.
Welding power reduced.
Excessive jets.
Craters.
Inclusions.
Inadequate penetration.
Sticking.
Blowing and porosity.
Jacks.
The electrode fuses in TIG.

TYPES OF MALFUNCTIONING/ WELDING FAULTS – CAUSES – REMEDIES
POSSIBLE CAUSES
A) The main switch is off.
B) The power lead is interrupted (lack of one or two
phases).
C) Other.
Overheating has occurred and the automatic pro-
tection has come on. (See work cycles).
Outgoing wires are not correctly attached.
A phase is missing.
Welding arch too long.
Welding current too high.
Fast removal of the electrodes.
Inadequate cleaning and bad distribution of coating.
Faulty movement of the electrodes.
Forward speed too high. Welding current too low.
Welding arch too short.
Current too low.
Damp electrodes. Arch too long. Wrong torch polarity.
Currents too high. Dirty materials.
Wrong torch polarity. Type of gas not suitable.
CONTROLS AND REMEDIES
A) Switch on mains.
B) Verify and repair.
C) Ask for the intervention of the Assistance Centre.
Keep generator switched on and wait till temperature has
dropped again (10-15 minutes) to the point where the yel-
low switch goes off again.
Check that wires are intact, that the pliers are sufficient and
that they are applied to welding surface clean from rust,
paint or oils.
Wrong torch polarity, lower the current values.
Increase current values.
