• Distance between tungsten
electrode and plasma nozzle too
large
• Tungsten electrode is worn out or
oxidized
• Distance between work-piece and
torch too large
• Pilot arc is not burning
• Connection of work-piece to
power source is interrupted
• Inadequate flow of coolant.
• Welding current too high.
• Coolant hose or liquid-cooled
power cable constricted or closed.
• Plasma nozzle not properly
tightened
• Tungsten electrode worn out
