3.05 Input Power Cable Connections
The 100XL PLUS Power Supply (CE) operates on three
phase, 380/415VAC, ± 10% 50/60Hz input.
CAUTION
The primary power source,power cable must all
conform to local electric code and the recommended
circuit protection and wiring requirements (refer
to table in Appendix I).
The Power Supply is supplied with a three-phase, four
conductor, input EMC power cable attached. Connect
the supplied input EMC power cable to the customer's
power source per the following procedure:
NOTE
The input power cable must not be modified in any
way as filtering beads are installed on the cable.
1. Strip back the outer covering approximately 3
inches (76 mm) to expose the individual wires at
the free end of the cable.
2. Cut back the insulation on the individual wires
approximately 1/8 - 3/16 inch (3-5 mm).
3. Connect the ends of the individual wires a cus-
tomer supplied plug or main disconnect per the
following:
NOTE
All the input cable wires must be connected for
three-phase operation.
• Blue wire to Line 2 (Live)
• Black wire to Line 3 (Live), refer to Note above

3.06 Gas Connections
A. Gas Requirements
WARNING
This unit not to be used with oxygen (O
2
).
Gases: Compressed Air or Nitrogen (N
2
) Only
Pressure: 70 psi (4.8 bar)
CAUTION
Maximum input gas pressure must not exceed 125
psi (8.6 bar)
Flow: Cutting - 400 scfh (188.7 lpm)
Gouging - 400 scfh (188.7 lpm)
B. Checking Air Quality
To test the quality of air, place the RUN/SET/LATCH
switch to SET position, place a welding filter lens in front
of the torch and turn on the gas. Any oil or moisture in
the air will be visible on the lens. Do not initiate an arc!
CAUTION
Air supply must be free of moisture, and other con-
taminants. Excessive and moisture may cause
double-arcing, rapid tip wear, or even complete
torch failure. Contaminants may cause poor cut-
ting performance and rapid electrode wear.
C. Gas Connections
The gas supply is connected to the Pressure Regulator/
Filter Assembly installed on the rear of the unit. The con-
nection is the same for compressed air or high pressure
gas cylinders.
1. Locate the 1/4 NPT to #4 (6mm) hose barbed fitting
shipped inside the Torch Spare Parts Kit.
2. If an optional air line filter is to be installed, refer to
subsection D.
NOTE
Filtering is required when using air from a com-
pressor to insure that moisture and debris from the
supply hose does not enter the torch. We recom-
mend either the optional Dry Air Filter Kit or Two
Stage Filter Assembly to provide the necessary fil-
tering.
