This is the quick live-reading card for the highest-value F130 trigger-state, front-end, and generator-path splits.
120 V / 20 A source with any extension cord kept within the official 25 ft and full 20 A rating0.035 in flux-core baseline on a real 20 A source0.030 in conversion only with flipped drive roll and 11-30 tip if the machine is not on factory 0.035 in| Checkpoint | Where to measure or observe | Healthy expectation | If abnormal, keep diagnosis in... |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source and cord compliance | branch and extension-cord path at the machine | real 120 V / 20 A baseline with no overlength or undersized cord |
utility or extension-cord path |
| Trigger-state before trigger | control branch before trigger | roughly the documented low-state value | trigger or control branch |
| Trigger-state after trigger | control branch after trigger | rises to the documented working-state value | trigger or control branch |
| Feed behavior at idle | feeder with no trigger | stopped until command | trigger or control branch |
| Arc behavior with fresh front end | live weld on clean steel | stable enough to prove the machine | front-end, wire-quality, or clamp branch |
| OCV or live output baseline | arc-off or trigger-state baseline | about the official 46 V class OCV and working-state rise into weldable range |
output or control branch |
| Source behavior under weld load | branch at the machine | holds a true 120 V / 20 A class baseline | utility path |
