Correct position for the plasma power supply

Make sure that the plasma power supply is in a safe position and location before you operate the cutting system.

  • Do not use the system in rain or snow.
  • Put the plasma power supply near the line-disconnect switch or near an approved power receptacle for your installation.
  • Keep at least 0.25 m (10 inches) of space around the plasma power supply for sufficient ventilation.

  • Put the plasma power supply on a stable, level surface before you use it. The plasma power supply can fall over if it is set at an angle greater than 10°.

  • Do not put the plasma power supply on its side. Doing so can cause a blockage of the air circulation necessary to keep internal components cool.
