Thread: PowerPlasma50 problem

  1. Default PowerPlasma50 problem

    Hi -

    I am using my PP50 for the second time and there is no arc; when trigger is pulled there is no air flow - when I release the trigger air flows normally. Fuse is good, settings look correct. Thoughts on what the problem may be?

    Thanks

    -Nick

    Check to make sure your swirl ring is inside, and you consumables are tight.
    What does you meter show when you pull the trigger?

    That was it - the electrode was loose. All is fine now. Thanks!

    One more question though - the low air pressure warning light is on - there is plenty of air to the machine - I can turn the adjustment on the gauge to what ever. Safe to ignore?

    That isn't a low pressure light. That is a correct pressure light. It is on while pressure meets minimum safe standards. It doesn't mean it will cut well though...but just tells you that the pressure meets the minimum standard to keep the torch from burning up. Recommended pressure is between 55-70 psi.

    Gotcha - Thanks for the quick response. It is cutting great. My technique is an issue but I'm working on it..
