 Output current (A) of the plasma power supply – Decrease the amperage on the front
panel to make the gouge narrower and shallower . Increase the amperage to make the
gouge wider and deeper .
 Arc stretch is related to the output current (A) of the plasma power supply. The higher
the amperage, the longer that you can stretch the arc. Hypertherm recommends that you
keep amperage and arc stretch consistent.
 The lowest and highest possible amperage setting relates to the plasma power supply
and the Hypertherm cartridge. Refer to Amperage settings by plasma power supply and
cartridge on page 74.
 Angle of the torch to the workpiece – Put the torch in a more upright position to make the
gouge narrower and deeper . Tilt down the torch so that it is closer to the workpiece to
make the gouge wider and more shallow .
 Turn of the torch – Turn the torch relative to the torch center line to make the gouge flatter
and steeper on one side .
