1. Check the open circuit voltage
(OCV) at the welder output termi-
nals. If OCV is okay, go to Step
2, below.
If OCV is not present at the welder
output terminals, contact your
local Lincoln Electric Authorized

1. Check continuity (zero ohms) of
lead W1A (black) from output
terminal to reactor (L1).
the Wiring Diagram.
2. Check continuity (zero ohms) of
lead W2 (black) from output ter-
minal to stator winding. See the
Wiring Diagram.
welding cables, 3. Check continuity (zero ohms) of
lead W1 (black) from reactor
(L1) to stator winding. See the
Wiring Diagram.
4. Check reactor (L1) for continuity
of winding. See the Wiring Dia-
gram.
5. Check the stator for continuity
of winding. See the Wiring Dia-
gram.
6. Make certain the reactor and/or
stator are NOT grounded. Mini-
mum acceptable resistance to
ground is 500 K-ohms.
