first thing to check is the over load reset button as all welders have a duty cycle for welding if that period is exceeded , the machine shuts down until it is cooled down
the duty cycle is the time of welding allowed in relation to the amps required to weld
for example with a 200 amp welder set at 200 amps with a 20% duty cycle for every 20 minutes of welding you have to allow 80 minutes to cool down
if however you have a 200 amp welder with a 20%duty cycle but it is welding at 20 amps then the duty cycle is extended dramatically other than that check for a fuse or take it in for a service
Control circuit failure or blown fuse on low voltage power supply. Look for 24VAC transformer. If that is OK follow to the trigger contactor and see if it is disconnected, burnt, etc.
Hi: The problem must be the solenoid valve. This one must be stuck and remains open always. Dirt or metal shavings can the reason. Change the solenoid valve.
I am having the same exact problem on an old Hobart Beta Mig 200
sometimes i can weld for 5 minutes and other times as soon as I hit the trigger it trips the 50amp breaker. Any help?
First thing I would check is the relay that sends power to the transformer when you pull the trigger. That can be one of the hardest parts of a Mig welder to troubleshoot because you can read full voltage through the thing with a multimeter when the contacts are dirty and it's not functioning properly.
That's assuming you're losing power. If it's a feed issue then we can address that later.
If you use it regularly, the liner should be replaced about every 6 months. Make sure you get a wiper for the wire. It goes inside the machine, on the wire, just before the feed rollers. It keeps the dust from clogging the liner.
