  • Page 14: Plasma Cutting Fundamentals

    PLASMA CUTTING FUNDAMENTALS The Plasma arc process has always been seen as an alternative to the oxy-fuel process. The plasma arc cutting process is illustrated below. The basic principle is that the arc formed between the electrode and the workpiece is constricted by a fine bore, copper nozzle.

  • Page 15: Tips For Plasma Cutting

    Handheld Operation – how it works In a typical handheld plasma system, such as our Bossweld Plascut 40 Air Plasma, the electrode and nozzle consumable parts are in contact with one another inside the torch when in the OFF state. When the trigger is squeezed, the power supply produces a DC current that flows through this connection, and also initiates the plasma gas flow.
