Name Description Corrective action
1. Verify that the wiring between CS1 and PCB3 is correct and
not damaged.
2. Measure voltage across current sensor.
a) Red to black = +15 VDC, Green to black = -15 VDC, white
to black = 0 VDC at idle and varies with current output
(4 VDC = 100 amps).
b) If possible, take a voltage reading on current sensor while
trying to cut. Ratio is 4 VDC = 100 amps.
c) If the current sensor voltage is approximately 6.4 VDC or
greater at idle, replace the current sensor.
3. Remove connector J9.1 from the chopper and verify that
LED1 is extinguished.
a) If LED1 is extinguished with the connector removed, then
reconnect J9.1 and try to fire the torch. If the chopper still
goes into over current, replace the chopper.
b) If the chopper does not go into over current, replace
PCB3.

This is a warning for a possible gas restriction in the leads.
Verify that there are no restrictions in the plasma and shield
hoses.
