Plasma Gas Supply
The gas supply for the Powermax1000 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 400 scfh/6.7 scfm (189 l/min), minimum flow rate, at a minimum pressure of
90 psig (6.1 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 Hypertherm filter kit, part #128647, when site conditions introduce moisture, oil or other particulates
into the air line. A 3-stage coalescing filtration system, as shown, can also be used.
WARNING
Do not allow the air inlet pressure to the filter on the power supply to exceed
120 psi (8.3 bar).
The filter bowl may explode if this pressure is exceeded.
