L‑Tec PCM‑VP1 is a 230 V single‑phase industrial plasma cutter rated at 40 A with an output of up to 210 O.C.V. Common failure points for units in this class include degraded power supply modules (over‑voltage/under‑current protection tripping), worn or contaminated torch electrodes and gas flow restrictions, and controller board faults that trigger error codes such as “C1” or “E2.” Begin troubleshooting by verifying the incoming 230 V supply and measuring the cutter’s current draw; inspect the torch for electrode wear or debris and confirm proper gas pressure (typically 10–15 psi); finally review any displayed fault codes on the control panel and cross‑check them against the user manual.[oss-gpt-20b]
