smaller than recommended will result in ‘nuisance’ shut off from welder inrush currents even if 
cutting at low amperages. 
 
Failure to follow these instructions can cause immediate failure within the welder and void 
machines warranty. 

 

Turn the input power OFF at the mains switch & fuse box before working on this equipment. 
 
Have a qualified electrician install & service this equipment. 
 
Allow machine to sit for 5 minutes minimum to allow the power capacitors to discharge before 
working inside this equipment. Do not touch electrically live parts 
 
The Plasma 60HF Plasma Cutters require a 415V 3 Phase 50/60Hz supply. It requires an 12.5 
Amp supply. It comes with a 3 metre mains cable attached. 
 
Connect wires according to national coding. 
 
Brown wire – Live 
Blue wire – Live 
Black Wire - Live 
Green/Yellow Wire – Earth (Ground) 

 
 

Connecting to a mains electrical supply 

 

THIS MACHINE IS OF AN INDUSTRIAL SPECIFICATION AND MUST BE 

FITTED TO A 16AMP 415V MAINS INPUT  

 

 

 

Connecting to an Engine Driven Generator

 

 

If connecting this Plasma Cutter to an engine driven generator please 

ensure the following 

 

Minimum Generator KVA Output – 13.5 KVA continuous 

 

Generator to be fitted with AVR (automatic voltage regulation) 

 

DO NOT USE ON A GENERATOR WITHOUT AVR 

 

Connecting to a generator without the above minimum requirements will in-

validate your warranty.
