  • Page 5: Some General Information About Plasma Cutting

    Power Plasma 2 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.

    Power Plasma 2 2. Safety Requirements 2.1 General Information’s This welding unit has been manufactured in accordance with the relevant interna- tional standards. However, improper use or manipulation of the machine may cause hazards. The following safety instructions must be strictly observed: a) This unit is exclusively intended for the Plasma cutting process.
  • Page 7 Power Plasma 2 2.3 Personal Protection The face and the eyes must be protected by a welder´s shield with lenses - protection category corresponding to the intensity of current. Persons working close by must also be adequately protected from arc radiation.
  • Page 8 Power Plasma 2 EMC and safety inspection Apart from the instructions given in this operating manual, the general safety standards, in particular the rules for prevention of accidents must be observed. The rules contain additional information’s about the prevention of radiation, smoke, combustion, electric shock, fire and explosion.

    Power Plasma 2 8. Cutting 8.1 Pilot arc ignition Bring the nozzle of the cutting torch to the starting point of the cut to be executed. Press torch trigger. After a short preweld gas flow time the pilot arc is ignited, and at the instant of the pilot arc impacting the workpiece, the cutting arc is formed.
