Cause
• Tungsten electrode and plasma
nozzle make contact
• Distance between tungsten electrode
and plasma nozzle too large
• Tungsten electrode is worn out or
oxidised
the torch too large
• Pilot arc does not burn
• Connection between the workpiece
and power source is interrupted
• Inadequate coolant flow
• Welding current too high
• Coolant hose or liquid-cooled power
cable constricted or sealed
• Plasma nozzle not properly tightened • Tighten plasma nozzle
• Tungsten electrode worn out
• Plasma nozzle worn out
• Centring ceramics missing or
damaged

Troubleshooting
• Re-adjust the electrode
• Re-adjust the electrode
• Re-sharpen and align the
electrode
• Shorten the distance
• Ignite the pilot arc
• Connect the earth cable
• Check and repair the coolant
recirculator
• Reduce the welding current
• Remove constriction and
replace cable assembly if
necessary
• Sharpen the tungsten electrode
• Replace the plasma nozzle
• Replace the centring ceramics
