ESP-400C Plasma Power Source
Note: Primary power source has the electrode
(-) conductor jumpered. The secondary power
source has the work (+) jumpered.
1. Connect the negative (-) output cables to the
plumbing box (high frequency generator).
2. Connect the positive (+) output cables to the
workpiece.
3. Connect the positive (+) and negative (-)
conductors between the power sources.
4. Connect the pilot arc cable to the pilot arc
terminal in the primary power source. The pilot
arc connection in the secondary power source
is not used. The pilot arc circuit is not run in
parallel.
5. Set the Pilot Arc HIGH/LOW switch on the
secondary power source to "LOW".
6. Set the Pilot Arc HIGH/LOW switch on the
primary power source to "HIGH".
Electric Shock Can Kill!
Exposed Electrical Conductors Can
Be Hazardous!
Do not leave electrically "hot " conductors
exposed. When disconnecting the
secondary power source from the primary,
verify the correct cables were
disconnected. Insulate the disconnected
ends.
When using only one power source in a
parallel configuration, the negative
electrode conductor must be disconnected
from the secondary power source and the
plumbing box. Failure to do this will leave
the secondary electrically "hot".
