3.4 Input Power Connection
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL!
PROVIDE MAXIMUM PROTECTION AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
BEFORE ANY CONNECTIONS ARE MADE INSIDE THE MACHINE, OPEN
THE LINE WALL DISCONNECT SWITCH TO TURN POWER OFF.

Three-phase input power must be provided from a line (wall) disconnect switch that contains fuses or circuit
breakers in accordance to local or state regulations.
Dedicated power line may be necessary.
Plasma unit is equipped with line voltage compensation but to
avoid impaired performance due to an overloaded circuit, a dedi-
cated power line may be required.
NOTICE
Sizes per National Electrical Code for a 90° C (194˚ F) rated copper conductors @ 40° C (104˚ F) ambient. Not
more than three conductors in raceway or cable. Local codes should be followed if they specify sizes other
than those listed above.
To estimate the input current for a wide range of output conditions, use the formula below.
