Process

Plasma Cutting / Gouging

Recommended cut

25 mm (1 in)

Severance cut

38 mm (1-1/2 in)

Output range

25-85 A

Input power

CSA: 200-480 V 1-PH; 200-600 V 3-PH. CE/CCC: 400 V 3-PH

Duty cycle

60% @ 85 A on 230-600 V 3-PH or 480 V 1-PH; 50% @ 85 A on 240 V 1-PH or 200-208 V 3-PH; 40% @ 85 A on 200-208 V 1-PH; 100% @ 66 A

What to Check First

  • Choose the market and power supply first: CSA packages cover 200-600 V configurations; CE/CCC packages cover 400 V three-phase configurations.
  • For mechanized tables, confirm CPC port, voltage divider, serial port, remote pendant, work lead termination, and control-cable requirements before ordering.
  • Powermax85 SYNC uses RFID-enabled SmartSYNC torches and single-piece cartridges to automatically set amperage and process where the cartridge and torch support it.
  • Hypertherm lists marking and very-low-current precision gouging as unsupported applications on Powermax85 SYNC; use the correct Powermax platform for those processes.
