Hi all my first post,
I have a powermax 2 it will be over 10 years old now and not done a lot of work really, it has now become faulty, working fine one day then not then next as simple as that, was in touch with eutectic and they were usless, I have the downloaded the fronius manual about 140 pages worth and it seams quite indepth, but I am not very electrial (dont mind getting in about it if the instructions are there to follow)
The problem is like so, it gives a very small output to the stick rod you can drag it over the metal and its just like a sparkler, turn it onto tig mode and you get more amps for a second or so still not a lot though, I have it into work where the instrument techs have had a look but they are struggling, (they have fixed a cemont puma 170 a few months previous)
I belive there is problems with the transistors? in the powermax machines can some one confirm if this sounds like the problem with mine,
any help greatfully received Chris
