THC upgrade Miller Spectrum 375 wiring

Maybe the the pic is of a 625x not the 375 ? Looking at the wiring diagram included with the 625 the terminal on the right is the work/clamp which I believe is pos and the terminal in the middle is the torch which is neg unless I am reading the wiring diagram wrong.

I only have a 375 so I can’t physically verify for the 625

When I look at the wiring diagrams for each power supply they seem virtually identical.

This is a screenshot from the 625 manual wiring diagram.

Here’s another link from that same topic with a customer who successfully wired his Miller to run with the THC it has some pretty clear photos

Here’s a good tidbit on some of the machines those lugs are reversed…

Of course why would you want the terminals in 2 3 4 order when you could have them in 2 4 3 order, thanks miller?

Here is a pic of mine, you can see the bundle from the center terminal (all marked 20) run directly to the torch.

And you can see on mine that they swapped those terminals.

Mine has the ice 27 torch on it. Which sticks into the cabinet longer so there’s a little bit more wire when they move to the bigger torch it looks like it doesn’t stick into the cabinet as much and have shorter wires and it looks like they were forced to switch the terminals from 234 to 243

So the take away is dont assume a picture on the interweb is correct and double check the wiring diagram and follow the leads back from the torch plug to the terminal. My 625 has a completely diff plug for the torch than the one in your pic. I assume Miller has used a couple of vendors for these things over the past few years

The 625 likely has a removable torch where the 375 is hardwired.

I bought my 375 extreme in 2007 or 2008 I’m sure revisions have been made.

I think their intent though is to have those terminals and right to left order two three four.

And then when they went to that new style torch they realized they didn’t have enough wire to make it to the four terminal so they switched them around.

Physical verification of what you actually have in reality is definitely a good step.

There’s also a couple of Hobart units that are almost identical to the Miller series.

Isn’t that the truth.

I am new here. I finished installing my table, and installed THC to Miller Spectrum 375 extreme with XT Torch. I installed raw voltage following directions and some of the previous post in this forum. As many said, the wiring is different. See the pic below, I installed the black in the middle machine lugs. I tested the continuity, everything seems to be right. when I try to cut, the plasma is not firing at all. Not sure what I am doing wrong here. Appreciate any help!


@herdemir Welcome to the Forums

How are you currently triggering the torch ? through FireControl?

Yes, using the FireControl.

Where are your trigger wires hooked up ?

hmm, I did not do anything with the trigger wires. is there any directions in the forum on how to do it?

Orange /Purple I believe . Post the model serial number from the bottom of your miller 375 we 'll try to can confirm. Some unit are slightly different .

Thanks so much for your help. it looks like I need to connect Orange and Vin/purple cables to torch firing cable, am I correct?

they will need to be connected to Langmuir’s torch NO/OFF on the electronics enclosure.

Yes , shorting them together will fire the torch.

Be safe :zap:
