THEORY OF OPERATION
E-4E-4
POWER MIG 200
CONTROL BOARD, GUN
TRIGGER AND WIRE DRIVE
MOTOR
When the control board receives an activation
command from the trigger circuit the control
board activates the gas solenoid, output
contactor, and the wire drive motor. The control
board monitors the motor’s tach feedback
signals and compares these to the wire speed
control setting. The proper armature voltage is
then applied to the wire drive motor. The drive
motor speed is thus controlled which in turn
regulates the electrode wire feed speed through
the gun.
Two thermostats are included in the trigger
circuitry. If either of these thermostats would
“open”, the trigger circuit would be interrupted
and the machine’s output would be disabled.
