The ESP-101 plasma cutting system combines the newly redesigned ESP-101 console and PT-37 torch. The PT-37 plasma
cutting torch is designed to provide increased performance and longer consumable life resulting in higher production
rates at lower costs.

: Maximum permissible line on the network impedance in accordance with IEC61000-3-11.
Duty Cycle:
The duty cycle refers to the time as a percentage of a ten-minute period that you can cut at a certain load without over-
heating. The duty cycle is valid for 40 degrees C.
