Been lurking trying to fix a colossal tech Cat 416 D there is one relay that is broke in half only thing holding it together is the clear plastic cover. I have emailed the guy from Ebay (usaprovidersinc) and no replies. The numbers on the relay is WJ175 (Jqx-38FA) 40A 250 VAC 28 VDC of course Made in China. I have not plugged it in not sure what it does and dont want to start a fire . I have searched the web put cant find this relay my soldering skills are not the greatest dont want to just throw this in the trash.Thanks

Reply:Well I fired it up . It will work for about 30 seconds then pop the breaker (dedicated 20 amp circuit) not sure if I have the amps set to high (dont have the manual) I am debating running the 50 amp circuit. If I can get this working just for tig and arc (want to learn that

) I am thinking of buying a good Plasma Cutter . What gives the most bang for the buck ?
Reply:Hypertherm Powermax 30 or Thermaldynamics Cutmaster 39 are both very good units for very reasonable prices.  I have used the Cutmaster 39 and it was a dream.  Dont have experience with the Powermax 30 but hear it is very good and more portable.  If I were to buy another plasma unit, it would be one of these.  They are more than a chinese unit in price, but you would be getting more for your money.A few of my toys !LinuxMintManjaroMiller Roughneck 2E Lincoln WeldPak 100HTP MTS 160 Chicago Electric 80amp Inverter   Victor O/A

Reply:I like it, it does what I need, but it does lack a feature I like that other units have.  Example would be pilot arc.  The one feature I miss most.  Other than that, it does a good job for a reasonable price for my requirements.A few of my toys !LinuxMintManjaroMiller Roughneck 2E Lincoln WeldPak 100HTP MTS 160 Chicago Electric 80amp Inverter   Victor O/A
Reply:Giant Tech has been great getting this thing running since I am new at it my cuts are not the greatest I practiced on a piece of 1/8 or 1/4 angle iron and it cut like butter after I ran a 240/30 amp line the pics are my first cut then my second (I cleaned it up before I took it )

Reply:I have a colossal tech cat520D. It blew a varistor while I was cutting. It is the blue one with a red resistor beside it near the copper coil on the top board close to the front of the circuit board. Their in your picture. I need the numbers on them. I think it may be 391k on the varistor mine burnt and I could not get the number. I would really appreciate it if you could help.Last edited by doug67; 01-31-2017 at 03:40 PM.Reason: typo

Reply:I have a Colossal Tech Cat 520D. It blew two electronic parts while I was plasma cutting. The parts are that blue varistor and brown-orange capacitor at the base of that very large and long copper coil on the middle board in the picture above (post #4). To those of you who have one of these Colossal Tech machines with a similar layout, can you provide the identification information on those two parts? I'm going to try to repost the above picture with the parts circled.
