There is a wire wound resistor next to the relay, this is also in the circuit, if you are getting 240 volts on the in terminals, this could be the culprit, you will need to see what it should be then test it with your ohmeter.
The large green thing next to the relay standing on its end, you still have not said if your getting 220volts across the in terminals. If you are not getting this the fault may lie elseware
And that is one probe on each terminal if the in cables, if that is so we need to look at where those cables on the in terminals come from, can you trace them back.Both the in pair of wires and the out pair of wires read 118 volts.
I wasn't able to read the wiring diagram above, when enlarged the words were illegible.
I guess I don't understand what is to make the voltage 220. I've never messed with the electrics before so It isn't a problem that I've created and the welder does function when I manually push in the conductor. And all 4 lights in a row are lit at that point as well. I stand at the ready for additional testing.
No problem, best to be clear. I only checked the leads to each other and not to the ground or chassis; the two in wires together and the two out wires together.Sorry to be a pain, but you are testing across the in terminals, and not down to ground.
according to the picture above i thought he hadit would be a good idea to test across the brown and blue coming into the welder to test your meter
Its just when he says two legs each 120 volts I get the impression he is testing them down to earth instead of across the supplyaccording to the picture above i thought he had
hard to say without knowing if its a 110 machine in the first placeIts just when he says two legs each 120 volts I get the impression he is testing them down to earth instead of across the supply
Its a 240 volt contactor, and has been working previously, so I am assuming it is a 220 vac supplyive also just realised he is in america so is this a 110v machine or have you been running it from a 240v supply
