Data plate
The data plate on the bottom of the plasma power supply contains 2 sets of ratings:
- The HYP ratings are Hypertherm® plasma power supply ratings. They reflect the capability of the system based on Hypertherm's internal testing.
- The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) ratings are predefined minimum thresholds that the system was required to meet to fulfill IEC standard 60974-1.
CSA and CE/CCC data plates differ slightly.
