INTRODUCTION
2.01 Overview
Plasma is a gas which has been heated to an extremely
high temperature and ionized so that it becomes elec-
trically conductive. The plasma arc cutting process uses
this plasma to transfer an electrical arc to the workpiece.
The metal to be cut is melted by the heat of the arc and
then blown away.

NOTE:
*Duty Cycle is the percentage of time the sys-
tem can be operated without overheating. Duty
cycle is reduced if primary input voltage (AC) is
low or the DC voltage is higher than shown in
previous chart.
2.03 Features
• RELIABLE AND POWERFUL - This inverter
based power supply operates on standard 230V
single or three phase power.
• POWERFUL CUTTING PERFORMANCE
-
Maximum cutting capacity is 1” (25mm).
• CUTS MOST METALS - Useful for most metals
such as stainless steel, aluminum, mild steel, cop-
per and alloys.
• NO HIGH FREQUENCY - Starts without high-
frequency so it won’t interfere with controls or
computers.
• MORE TORCH, LESS MONEY - The SL100™
1Torch™ provides state of the art technology and
performance of more expensive torches.
