Oil is a far worse culprit than water inside the torch. This will severely discolor the electrode and cause an 0-30 code.clean the nozzle / electrode with scotch brite and they will work again.for a while. I'm going to mention this again.if you have a screw compressor or a piston compressor that is could be injecting some oil in your air line. Over time they can be damaged or the flow passages can be obstructed.ħ. The cap helps to split the air flow between the shield flow and the nozzle (plasma) flow. Tech service at Hypertherm can help you diagnose internal issues.these will cause similar symptoms to #1 above.Ħ. Plugged, clogged, damaged onboard filter or flow control regulator. You'll save a few bucks when you buy these, spend a lot more when you use them.ĥ. The parts are in the hands of our IP (intellectual property) department now.and since they are covered under international patents the sellers will be tracked down. My 6 year old Powermax85 rarely has shown a did often when I tried these parts. I won't even begin to tell you all the tings that are manufactured from the wrong materials, and to the wrong dimensions. I just ordered some on both Amazon and Ebay. Overtightened retaining cap.not so much of an issue with the newer Duramax torch.but if you have an older Hypertherm, make sure you are just snugging the cap.vs "reefing" the cap on!Ĥ. When this part is incorrect you will get error codes and bad cut edge angularity.ģ. They wear out.and the aftermarket (cost less) ones are junk. It is precisely manufactured from Dupont Vespel which is good as an insulator, a bearing, and has good high temp characteristics. The swirl ring controls the air flow.acts as an electrical insulator, and acts as a slide bearing. Worn out, defective, or aftermarket swirl ring. traps, valves, etc.) This will be intermittent depending on when your plasma fires in relation to the cycling of the compressor.Ģ. You will see the one at the plasma running somewhere between 5 to 20 psi (when air is flowing to the torch) lower than the one at the compressor.this due to restrictions in the air line (hose diameter and length, number of fittings, filters. Note: if you are relying on the pressure gauge reading back at your compressor.don't. You need to check this when the compressor is at the "bottom" of its on/off cycle. Everyone.absolutely everyone insists this is not a problem.but if you do not have a pressure gauge installed (hard plumbed) right at the air inlet to your plasma cutter.and record the reading under static conditions (no air flow at the torch) then again while air is flowing at the torch.then you really do not have a clue what the "flowing" (dynamic) inlet pressure is. Low incoming air pressure under flowing conditions. The common things that cause the 0-30 error code:ġ. The swirl marks on all plasma electrodes are normal.though if the end of the electrode gets completely discolored it generally means you have excess oil or water in your air. With no airflow.the electrode is spring loaded against the nozzle.effectively shorting the positive and negative power supply output.when you fire the torch.air pressure rises inside the plenum between nozzle and electrode and pushes the electrode rearward, creating a short circuit arc that ionizes the air in the torch.starting the plasma jet. The stuck consumables code indicates that the electrode is not sliding fully inside the swirl ring.
