Questions and answers
Why does it have low amps
The Lincoln Electric Ranger 10,000 may have low amps due to several possible issues:
1. Polarity Switch Contacts – Loose or faulty connections between the polarity switch and the rectifier can affect amperage output.
2. Bridge Rectifier – A faulty or damaged rectifier can cause low welding output. Testing all diodes in the rectifier is recommended.
3. Choke Grounding Issue – If the choke is shorted to the frame, it can impact the current flow. The choke should not be grounded to its frame.
4. Auxiliary Power Problems – If the auxiliary power is not functioning correctly, it could indicate an issue affecting the welding output.
5. Engine Idle Speed – The machine should be on high idle when welding to maintain proper amperage.
Checking these components and connections can help diagnose and fix the low amp issue.
