Lincoln Invertec V205T owners please help

admin

Got my hands on a cheap non-functional V205T. Looks like it's the classic case of the relay getting wedged and some components getting toasted. Its worth spending a couple bucks and a couple hours replacing parts to see if I can get it working again.Can anyone out there in take a pic of the top of front of the main circuit board for me? I just need a decent pic of the area above the transparent clear plastic relay marked "finder type 44.62". thanks a milESAB Heliarc 252

Reply:There are usually some wiring diagrams in the owners manual, whether they'd be helpful is another question. There's several pages worth in mine (ancient European model so probably no use to you), here's the first one that google threw out...http://www.lincolnelectric.com/assets/ServiceNavigator/LINCOLN3/IM728.pdf Wiring diagram is pg 31

Reply:This welder was made in Italy for Lincoln. So a lot of information is not available.Send me your e-mail by private massage and ask for the V205t package.A lot of failures in all inverters are chain failures. A  transistor on board A shorts taking other parts on board B and C. Causing even more parts to burn up. A low power supply on one pcb can be caused by a failure on a different pcb.
