Powermax65/85/105 SYNC Operator Manual 810470 47
Install a 1-phase power cord (CSA systems only) (if necessary)
You can operate a Powermax65/85 SYNC CSA plasma power supply on 1-phase power, but the
Powermax65/85 SYNC CE/CCC plasma power supply is 3-phase only.
To operate a Powermax65/85 SYNC CSA plasma power supply on 1-phase power, install a
10 mm
2
(8 AWG) 3-wire power cord. The power cord must be connected by a licensed electrician.
Refer to the Powermax65/85 SYNC Power Cord and Strain Relief Replacement Field Service
Bulletin (807020) for instructions.
Use an extension cord (if necessary)
Use an extension cord that meets the following requirements:
Is an approved wire gauge for the cord length and plasma power supply voltage
Complies with national and local codes
Extension cords can cause the machine to receive less input voltage than
the output of the circuit. This can put a limit on the operation of your
plasma power supply.
The following tables give the recommended gauge sizes for various lengths and input voltages.
The lengths in the tables are the length of the extension cord only; they do
not include the plasma power supply’s power cord.
