Process

Plasma Cutting / Gouging

Recommended cut

16 mm (5/8 in)

Severance cut

29 mm (1-1/8 in)

Output range

9-45 A

Input power

CSA: 200-240 V 1-PH; 480 V 3-PH. CE/CCC: 230 V 1-PH; 400 V 3-PH

Duty cycle

50% @ 45 A; 60% @ 41 A; 100% @ 32 A

What to Check First

  • Choose the market and voltage first: CSA packages cover 200-240 V single-phase and 480 V three-phase; CE/CCC packages cover 230 V single-phase and 400 V three-phase.
  • For mechanized tables, confirm whether the package needs a CPC port, voltage divider, serial interface, remote pendant, and the correct work/control cables.
  • Powermax45 SYNC uses SmartSYNC torches and the Powermax cartridge platform; match cartridge by process, amperage, and hand versus mechanized use.
  • Standard bundled systems include the power supply, torch or torches, work cable, product information, and 1-2 cartridges.
