Hey Community I need some help,
I have a 30W RAYCUS Fiber with a dedicated 110v 30amp line to its own breaker. When I power up a burn even on low laser power burns I can see the monitor start slowly dimming, if I pause the burn it will brighten back up, the laser will slow down, and on a large filled in area if you look close you can see deviations in the burn lines. Can anyone make any suggestions on what I should do?
I have a 60W JPT MOPA and the whole thing draws around 8A.
Me thinks it’s not getting that 30A that you say is available… 
Here’s the specs for my mopa, it draws 1000W or about 8.3A…
Do you mean that maybe the power coming into the breaker is providing enough power? I only ask because the setup is pretty simple 30amp breaker, 50am romex, and heavy duty 2 socket 110v outlet. My electrician is one of my closest friends and he is a master electrician so I know it’s done correct. So that would only leave the power supply from the pole.
Is this a new machine?
If your PC monitor is dimming it would indicate a loss of power somewhere.
Is your monitor plugged into the same socket?
I’d double check power connections…
Do you have a voltmeter to check the supply voltages.?
It is 6 mo old only used about 30 - 40 times and bought it from trusted source, no the laser has its own dedicated power to meter box with 30amp breaker a 50 amp romex wire. Yes I have a multi-meter I will check it tomorrow at the actual plug that goes into the laser PS.
Ok for those interested I discovered the issue. I finally after exhausting every knowledge asset I had decided to see what type of laser was installed in my system. Much to my dismay I discover that it is a MAX laser. Through all of my previous research I kept seeing articles that advised to stay away from systems that are setup with a MAX laser. One of the biggest issues I saw was that the voltage regulators are a known issue. All that being said during my research I found that the most recommended laser was the Cloudray built with a JPT laser. So I did a bunch of price searching and discovered that if you buy direct from Cloudray you get US based support, 2 year warranty etc. I am now the proud owner of a 50w Cloudray JPT system, I will keep yall posted.
BTW To all that tried to help thanks for your input.
Congratulations… You have a nice machine…
Did you ship the MAX back?
No I only have $1000.00 in the machine. It works great for small items so I decided to keep it, and I can run test stuff on it as well.
