This  machine  is  a  constant  direct  current  power  source, 
designed for cutting  electrically conductive  materials (metals 
and  alloys)  using  the  plasma  arc  procedure.  The  plasma 

gas may be air or nitrogen

 

 

EXPLANATION OF THE TECHNICAL 
SPECIFICATIONS LISTED ON THE  
MACHINE PLATE

 

 

EN 60974.1 

The machine has been built according  to 

EN 50199 

this European standards.  

EN 50192 
N°.....................Serial number.  

Always indicate this for any request 
regarding the machine. 

 

                  .......Single-phase static  transformer-rectifier 

frequency converter. 

 
     ....................Drooping characteristic. 

 

        .................Suitable for plasma cutting. 
T

ORCH TYPE 

......Type of torch  that may be used with this 

machine. 

U

0

.   PEAK   .... Secondary open-circuit  voltage. Peak value. 

X  ..................... Percentage duty cycle. 

The duty cycle expresses the percentage of 
10 minutes for which the machine may work 
at a certain current I

and voltage U

without 

overheating. 

I

...................... Cutting current. 

U

....................Secondary voltage at cutting  current I

2

This voltage is measured when cutting 
with the gas nozzle in contact  with the  
work piece. 

If this distance increases, the cutting 
voltage also increases and the duty cycle 
X%   may drop.

 

U

....................Rated supply voltage 

1~ 50/60Hz ......50- or 60-Hz single-phase power supply. 

The machine is equipped  with automatic 
voltage change. 

I

Max   .............Max. absorbed current at the corresponding  

current I

and voltage U

2

I

eff  ................This is the maximum  value of the actual 

current absorbed, considering the duty 
cycle. This value usually corresponds  to the 
capacity of the fuse (delayed type) to be 
used as a protection for  the equipment. 

IP23 S . ............Protection  rating for the housing. 

Grade 

as the second digit  means that this 

equipment  may  be  stored,  but  it  is not 
suitable for use outdoors  in the rain, unless 
it is protected. 

 S   ...................

Suitable for working in hazardous 
environments.
