@Mr. Anderson , I have been using it in the past on a 50amp 240v circuit since purchased. It has just recently started this problem with the minor sparking at the electrode and not cutting. I have tried all new consumables also to no avail.
My machine has stopped cutting. I have a very small spark at the electrode when attempting to cut, but then I have nothing but air blowing out when I try to cut. Please help me. Thank you
The LOTOS LTP5000D could stop cutting and only produce a small spark at the electrode due to one or more of the following reasons:
1. Fan not working: If the fan is not running, the machine may overheat and stop functioning properly. The manual suggests checking the fan if the machine powers on but the fan isn't running.
2. Exceeding duty cycle: If the machine exceeds its duty cycle, an internal heat-variable component is triggered, and the machine will stop cutting. A red diode will turn on, and the fan will continue running to cool the machine. Cutting resumes once it cools down.
3. Inadequate cutting current: If the cutting current is not appropriate for the material thickness, it may result in only a spark and not a full cut.
4. Poor ventilation or overloading: Poor ventilation or overloading the machine can cause it to shut down or function improperly.
5. Over-voltage: Exposure to over-voltage can damage internal circuitry, leading to improper operation.
These issues can prevent proper arc formation and result in only a small spark.
