Install and Set Up the Plasma Power Supply
42 811470 Operator Manual Powermax45 SYNC
Dirty, oily air is the root cause of many common
problems that occur in Powermax systems. In
some conditions it can void the warranty on the
plasma power supply and on the torch. Refer to
the gas quality recommendations in the ratings
tables that start on page 19.
The plasma power supply contains a built-in air
filter. Regularly do a check of the filter element
inside the air filter bowl and replace it as
necessary. Refer to Examine the air filter bowl
and filter element on page 119.
The built-in air filter does not take the place of
sufficient external filtration. Install an external
filtration system if:
You work in an environment that is very warm and humid.
Your work site conditions introduce oil, vapors, or other contaminants into the gas line.
A 3-stage coalescing filtration system is recommended. A 3-stage filtering system works as follows
to clean contaminants from the gas supply.
The filtering system must be installed between the gas supply and the plasma power supply.
Additional gas filtration can make higher pressure from the gas supply
necessary. For the recommended gas inlet flow rate and pressure, refer to
Inlet gas pressure requirements (while gas is flowing) on page 40.
