Plasma Gas Supply
The gas supply for the Powermax380 can be shop compressed air or cylinder compressed air. A high-pressure
regulator must be used on either type of supply and must be capable of delivering gas to the filter on the power
supply at 270 scfh/4.5 scfm (127 l/min) at a pressure of 60 psi (4.2 bar). If gas supply quality is poor, cut speeds
decrease, cut quality deteriorates, cutting thickness capability decreases, and parts life shortens.

Additional Gas Filtration
Use a 3-stage coalescing filtration system, as shown, when site conditions introduce moisture, oil or other
contaminants into the air line.
WARNING
Do not allow the air inlet pressure to the filter on the power supply exceed 120 psi (8.3 bar).
The filter bowl may explode if this pressure is exceeded.
