Basic system OperatiOns Operating the powermax105 Follow the steps below to begin cutting or gouging with the Powermax system. Note: This section provides basic operating instructions. Before operating your Powermax in a production environment, refer to the Hand Torch Setup section or the Machine Torch Setup section.
The work clamp must be connected to the workpiece while you are cutting. If you are using the Powermax105 with a cutting table, you can connect the work lead directly to the table instead of attaching the work clamp to the workpiece.
Locks the torch in the ON (fire) position. With this option selected, press the trigger to fire the torch. You can then release the trigger while continuing to cut. Press the trigger again to stop the arc. The torch goes out when transfer is lost. Powermax105 Operator Manual...

The electrode end-of-life detection feature on the Powermax105 protects the torch and workpiece from damage by automatically stopping power to the torch when the electrode reaches its end of life. Fault code 0-32 also displays on the front panel status screen.
The duty cycle is the amount of time, in minutes, that a plasma arc can remain on within a 10-minute period when operating at an ambient temperature of 40° C (104° F). With a Powermax105: • At 105 A (480-600 V CSA, 400 V CE, 380 V CCC), the arc can remain on for 8 minutes out of 10 minutes without causing the unit to overheat (80% duty cycle).
