3: SITE REQUIREMENTS
single-phase power the Hypertherm Powermax 45 XP requires
the following:
l
Primary Power Required 200 Vac – 240 Vac
l
Recommended Circuit Amperage
50 A
l
Plug Pattern NEMA 6-50P
Check with the manufacturer documentation for the specific
plasma source you are using before installation.
3.2.4 Options for Non-Conforming Sites
For sites that don't conform to the specified , you may consider
the following. You must consult with an electrician to
determine the suitability for your site.
l
Buck-Boost Transformer Used to adjust line voltages.
While the machine can run on line voltages between 200
to 240 Vac, performance is reduced on line voltages
below 230 Vac, and damage to electrical components is
possible on line voltages above 240 Vac. To prevent
reduction in performance or damage to electrical
components, we recommend the Buck-Boost
Transformer (PN 32554).
3.3 AIR REQUIREMENTS
You must verify that the site conforms to the following air
supply requirements.
l
Air Pressure Between 90 psi and 120 psi (620 kPa to
825 kPa).
If the air supply is more than 120 psi (825 kPa), you must
use a regulator.
l
Air Volume
At least 6 CFM at 90 PSI. Check with your
plasma source manufacturer in case your model requires
more volume.
l
Dry Air We recommend using a compressed air dryer,
desiccator, or filter between the air compressor and the
machine.
3.4 PLASMA SOURCE REQUIREMENTS
Tormach recommends either the Hypertherm Powermax 45 XP
or the Powermax 65 plasma sources for use with the 1300PL.
Plasma sources ordered directly from Tormach will include the
correct CNC control interface and cables.
If you would like to use your own plasma source, the minimum
requirements are as follows:
l
Blowback style arc-start. The 1300PL is not
recommended for use with high-frequency style arc-start
units. The electrical noise spike generated by high-
frequency arc starts can interfere with the axis control
signals.
l
An internal voltage divider outputting a 50:1 torch
voltage signal.
l
An input for plasma arc start compatible with dry
contact closure to activate (the 1300PL uses an open
relay for torch off and closed relay for torch on)
l
(Optional but recommended) Arc-ok output. Closed
contacts when arc is active.
