Ohmic sensor wire?

Post by Jeffery »

Hi my name is Jeff. Today I broke a wire on my dhc2 plasmacam. It connected near the torch tip on one end and on top of a motor? This caused my torch to hit my material several times. I spliced the break and it would still repeat the same outcome when ready to cut. Where can I get a new wire or get this one fixed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Must be a break in your wire between the ohmic clip and your controller somewhere else unless your spice was a bad connection. Ohmic sensing is a simple single wire setup. Follow that wire back and solder and seal any breaks.

is there a 47k ohm resistor in that lead ? I just broke the wire on that resistor and replaced it...works great now

Is that a very small inline fuse link?

Looks like a fuse link, but it's not. It's a small (1/2 W?) 47k Ohm resistor, as harrymorley pointed out.
