Test 2 – voltage balance
Test to check the balance of the bus voltage, the power-factor circuit, and the soft-start circuit.
• Verify the system’s serial number. Serial numbers below 1250-008720 have a different power board from
systems with serial numbers above 1250-008720.
• Remove screws from capacitors C94 and C98 before measuring the resistors listed below.
• Check the voltage across the inverter IGBT (Q6).
• Check the voltage across the capacitors (C94, C98) before and during torch operation.
• Voltage across both capacitors should be 375 VDC.
On systems with serial numbers below 1250-008720, if the capacitors are not balanced at 375 VDC, install the
RCD resistor kit (part number 128963). For systems with higher serial numbers, replace the power board.
Note:
All values can be ±15%.
