Powerland pdw210e motor runs but no power output for welder or electric sockets.

Hi.
Depending on the make and model, it may differ a bit from my inverter welder, but looking at mine:
Positive "Torch" cable-socket is red, and
Earth "Workpiece" cable-socket is black.
Otherwise, the way I tested mine (to find out voltage output):
Use a multimeter (analogue or DMM) set to the highest DC voltage scale, or auto-ranging scale.
Turn welder to minimum power setting (lightest rod setting).
While welder is switched on, gradually reduce the meter's DC range until you get a reading (mine read 48V).
The red test-probe to positive socket gives a positive value
[nn.nn V], or deflects meter pointer right, while reversed polarity gives a negative value [-nn.nn V], or deflects meter pointer left.
As the voltage waveform is actually pulsating DC, the AC scale will also give a reading, obviously without polarity indication.

Many welders require a current supply which is higher than the standard power outlet rating (15 amps in the US). The plug on such a welder will not fit in the standard socket since it draws too much current.

You will need to call in an electrician.

This is not a simple question. Take this magnificent machine to a service shop.

ME TOO WITH PROPANE >>IT JUST stalls whenever I turn on 1 light ...

check power/supply connection

Not sure what the problem is but I have similar unit and the engine died. If you are interested in selling the unit/engine please email me at [email protected]. My mobile is 1-868-366-9505.

Thanks Mike

Check voltage control potentiometer.

I know whats wrong licoln is a giant peice of **** i had this same thing happen to my ranger 8 look at your pc board 2 chips fell out ill bet on it

measure ouput on ALL available sockets - anything?
Take cover off electric motor-generator, visually inspect windings.
Measure continuity of all stator windings (2 or 3 points usually)
Measure continuity of stator thru brushset.
If all measures ok - has to be AVR module.

There is no mistery in generator - just stator to induce and rotor to obtain voltage.

dont know what unit your uncle has but here is a easy test,open unit go to feed motor unplg the connector have unit running pull gun trigger check for voltage at plug ,if no voltage trace wires back (with the unit unplug , for your safety)probably will go to one side of main contactor.restart unit being careful for this is main input power.if no power main contactor is bad .if you have power at motor plug(wire feed motor) the motor is bad. hope this helps your uncle.
