5.8 Connection of work piece return cables/torch
Connection of the earthing cable
The appropriate cable is inserted into the socket on the front side and locked in
position. The earthing clamp must be attached at an exposed place on the
workpiece or on the cutting table. Take care to ensure that the current can be
transferred smoothly.
Connection of the torch
REHM-RTC cutting equipment is fitted with rapid plug-and-socket connections
(central connector with REHM inscription) for connection of the plasma torch. The
torch is inserted and must then be connected securely by manually tightening the
coupling nut. This entails pressing the safety pin on the central connector with the
patent key. The patent key is fastened above the central connector and must be
used both to connect and to disconnect the torch.
Important!
To avoid unnecessary energy losses during cutting, take care to ensure that all
work piece return cable connections are properly tightened and well insulated.
