General Kempomig-power sources are MIG/MAG and MMA –power sources designed for professional use. Kempomig-power sources are inverter power sources based on IGBTs controlled by PWM principle. The operating frequency is fixed on 18 kHz throughout the machine´s operating range. Kempomig-power source together with Feed-unit form a compilation, in which the Feed-unit controls all the operations.

IGBT transistors work as power switches. When both IGBTs are non-conductive, no power is transferred.

DISTURBANCE POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY Error code E08 is shown on the Faulty welding gun Check the welding gun condition panel display Faulty wf-unit control card Check the wf-unit´s zener diodes A001 V27 and V28 (24 V/5 W) on control card A001. If these diodes get damaged, there is an insulation problem in the welding gun between welding circuit and start...
DISTURBANCE POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY The power source can´t reach Net fuse has blown Check the net fuses maximum output A faulty supply cable Check the supply cable A faulty main switch Check the main switch A faulty primary rectifier Check the primary rectifier. Measure the DC-link voltage during idling and under load (530…570 Vdc)
