Mine lost power just like this one. I changed bridge rectifier and everything comes back on then it smokes bridge rectifier after 30 seconds and machine loses voltage outage again. What might I check. Thanks
GOOD VIDEO, WE HAVE A VANTAGE 400 AMPER THE MACHIE GIVING A TROBBLE NO WELD OUT PUT, NO AUXILARY POWER. IWAS LOOKING THAT, BRUSHS ARE GOOD , ROTOR GOOD, I GOT THE VOLTAGE UP TO THE RECTIFIERR . AC 70 VOLT BOTTOM SIDE OF THE RECTIFIER AND 90 VOLT DC ON TOP. BUT I DONT SEE ANY LIGHTS COMING ON THE CHOPPER BOARD. WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP TO TEST PLEASE HELP ME.
Great video! Got a few questions for you, if you've got the time to respond. How common is it for the rotor to fail? Is it usually the windings shorting the slip ring to the shaft, or is it more common to cause an open between the two slip rings? Is it more common for the cheaper parts to fail, like the capacitor or rectifier bridge, or circuit board failure? I guess my basic question is how bad do they usually fail? I have a chance to buy a 2012 Vantage 300 without weld output and don't know if it would be worth the effort and cost to tear into it. I don't want to give more than $1,000 for it if it will cost me $2500 in parts. Any help, or thoughts on the subject would be appreciated.
I get 6 volts on mine on the capacitor
Appreciate the videos Adrian, Great Job, keep up the Good Work!!!
I cant go past 30 amps any idea what's the issue
Wat side of the slip ring is positive
YOU JUST SAVED ME 4000K

Are the new rotors from Lincoln built any better
Do you send the rotor to get rewound.

Great informative video. Looking forward to seeing the repair.
What does it mean when you get fluctuating numbers on your amperage display and no weld, but have aux power
