Default HOMEMADE plasma cutter

Your trying to control 300 volts dc at 10 to 30 AMPS. They are expensive
trying to keep from electrocuting the operator.

Good luck

Is the high voltage pulsed or regulated or otherwise timed? What is
the voltage of a plasma cutter and current for a decent machine?
Yah, I know, what is decent?

Why are these beasts so expensive?
