Plasma gas supply
The gas supply for the Powermax1650 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 550 scfh/9.2 scfm (260 l/min), minimum flow rate, at a
minimum pressure of 90 psig (6.1 bar).
Note: If the gas supply quality is poor, cut speeds decrease, cut quality deteriorates,
cutting thickness capability decreases, and parts life shortens.

Use Hypertherm filter kit (part number 128647) when site conditions introduce moisture, oil or
other particulates into the air line. A 3-stage coalescing filtration system, as shown, should be used
in extreme conditions.
