Hypertherm Max100 burns Pac130 plasma torch
The Air is DRY and Filtered. If you have iron or any other dust
the current might be arcing in the dust. Need a dryer - even a low cost import kind is better than nothing. Mechanical dryer and mechanical filter. Many use Nitrogen or compressed air. Some torches use two 'gasses'. The Pac130 is for a 180 as I recall. I have one maybe. I use a larger torch on mine.

Now it does not work, specifically, it does work, but starts an arc INSIDE the torch and burns the torch, instead of starting the arc and burning through the work. I do have ground connected. Any idea what may be wrong? Thanks I have no experience with these things, but you have to have the air supply working. Any possibility there is an air leak, like a loose fitting or broken hose inside the hose/wire bundle? I think the arc normally forms inside the torch head, and depends on the air to blow the arc out of the torch. Jon |
