 A 10 kW generator is recommended for cutting applications that require full arc stretch,
such as many gouging applications. It allows for the spikes in input current that occur when
you stretch the plasma arc.
 If a fault occurs while using a generator, turn OFF (O) the system. Wait approximately
1 minute before you turn the system back ON (I).
Connect the gas supply
 All models: Use an inert gas hose with internal diameter of 9.5 mm (3/8 inch) or greater. Do
not use hoses with an internal diameter less than 9.5 mm (3/8 inch). Hoses that are
too small can cause issues with cut quality and cut performance.
 CSA models: An industrial
interchange quick-disconnect
nipple with 1/4 NPT threads
comes with the system.
 CE/CCC models: A British Pipe
Thread adapter G-1/4 BSPP
with 1/4 NPT threads comes
with the system.
 The gas inlet fitting that comes
with the system may or may not
be preinstalled. To install the
fitting, screw it into place on the
back of the power supply.
 CSA models: Tighten the 1/4 NPT fitting to 115 kg·cm (100 inch·pounds). The fitting
comes with thread sealant preapplied.
 CE/CCC models: Tighten the G-1/4 BSPP adapter to 104 kg·cm (90 inch·pounds).
WARNING
The filter bowl in the power supply may explode if the gas pressure exceeds 9.3 bar
(135 psi).
