25A PLASMA ARC CUTTING MACHINE 

PLASMA30i 

INTRODUCTION

 

 

The PLASMA30i is an inverter current power source machine, designed for cutting 
electrically conductive materials (metals and alloys) using the plasma arc procedure. The 
plasma gas may be air or nitrogen. The lightweight portable inverter plasma cutter has 
many features that enable the user to easily cut most all metals.
