5 Functional description

5 Functional description
The torch and power source together form an operating unit which provides a plasma arc for
cutting when supplied with the appropriate operating resources. When cutting, compressed air
is ionised in the cutting nozzle by high-frequency pulses. The initial arc produces conductive
plasma, which is accelerated in the nozzle and directed to the workpiece. The working arc is
struck between the cutting torch electrode and the workpiece. The workpiece material is melted
by the energy of the impact, the dissociation and the ionisation and blown out by the
kinetic energy of the plasma jet. The compressed air is used to cool the cable assembly and the
cutting torch.
CAUTION
Risk of injury and device damage as a result of improper operation
Non-observance can result in injuries and device damage.
• For safety reasons, do not use the plasma cutting torch equipped with the cap body
without a spatter protector.
NOTICE
• In the case of a split protective cap, the cap body and spatter protector make up one
functional unit.
