Plasma 33 H 1. Some general information about plasma cutting 1.1 Operating principle In a plasma torch, the air is heated to an extremely high temperature through an electric arc, thus forming an electroconductive plasma which allows the cutting current to flow from the electrode to the workpiece.
Plasma 33 H 2. Safety Requirements This cutting unit has been manufactured in accordance with the relevant international standards. However, improper use or manipulation of the machine may cause hazards. a) The unit is exclusively intended for plasma cutting processes. Service personnel must be duly informed of all safety rules.

Plasma 33 H 2.4 Electrical hazard Plasma cutting is carried out under high-tension conditions which require utmost precau- tion. Any defective or damaged parts on the torch must be replaced immediately. When ex- changing a part, always disconnect the unit (master switch in pos. 0). Only original spare parts may be used on the torch.
Plasma 33 H 3. Brief description Its operating priciple is characterized by the following: Compressed air serving as plasma gas and cooling medium for the plasma torch A high-grade filter welding regulator together with a downstream micro filter are standard equipment on this unit.
Plasma 33 H 4. Technical Data Plasma 33 H Supply voltage 400V, 50Hz, 3 Phasen Max. power draw 5,5 kVA 10 A träge Fuse Max. cutting current 33 A Max. open-circuit voltage 230 V duty cycle 50 % 33 A / 92 V Max.
Plasma 33 H 5. Control Elements Master switch (Front panel) Position "O": unit is switched off. Position "I": unit is switched on. Control lamp ‘mains’ (Front panel green) is lit when unit is switched on. 6. Initial operation 6.1 Place of installation The unit should not be exposed to moisture, welding spatter and the direct ray of sparks at grinding works.
Plasma 33 H 4.5 Equiping the torch Fit the plasma nozzle into the torch. Plasma nozzle and electrode are wear parts. A plasma nozzle with a badly burnt-out hole and an electrode with a large penetration crater involves worse cutting quality and striking characteristics.
Plasma 33 H Warning! Don't switch off the machine during the gas post-flow period as this could involve damages by torch overheating. For hole piercing in manual cutting operation firstly hold the manual cutting torch sloped and then change into vertical position in order to reduce spatter formation on the plasma nozzle.
